Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) re: Nugent: "He probably has shit for brains."

Bonus Quote of the Day

"He probably has shit for brains. I couldn't be more proud of myself, what I stand for, and for this pompous ass to claim that he cares more about a family that lost a child than I do is a perfect example of the brain dead critics of Ted Nugent."

-- Ted Nugent, quoted by Politico, when Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI) questioned Nugent's presence at the State of the Union.

"Langevin, who is in a wheelchair and paralyzed from a shooting accident when he was a teenager, encouraged his colleagues to bring victims of gun violence as their guests to the State of the Union."

Then one realizes Nugent is an excellent spokesperson for the GOP and exemplifies the well thought talking points they espouse....

We're just making him a hero to the psychos on the right. I'd not refer to him until a few months before the 2014 election, then I'd whip the old nutcase out in ads against Stockman.
