HANK WILLIAMS JR ON THE VIEW
Hank knows how to roll smoke, and sing about all his rowdy friends and he knows how to get on live tv and ramble with the best of them.
Dressed in a Mickey Mantle replica jersey, the country superstar sat down among the estrogen and spoke hot cow dung and bad mice droppings.
It all started with Hank clarifying his remarks about Obama and Hitler. He called it an analogy.
In pure Hank off the cuff style, he brought out a dictionary and handed it to one of the shocked co-hosts.
Read analogy he says.
She does saying; a similarity of things that are otherwise dismiliar.
Opposites, he screams out loud, obviously proud of his linguistic ability. OPP O SITS!
Hank is all sunglasses and beard and ball cap. He is all over the place paddling like a hunting dog in swift water, as the co hosts pepper him with questions from all directions.
“how were you misunderstood?” Barbara Walter screeches, her old lady pantaloons flairing.
“they stepped on the toes of freedom of speech,” Hank bellowed spinning in his chair like a drunken dradel.
“but you have to bear the consequences,” one of the ninnies shrilled.
Hank got serious. “When I came in my house and my daughter said daddy are you in trouble?”
He took a huge breath and finished. “Well if I am then we all are.”
Joy blow hard or Beyhar or whatever her name is from Brooklyn said, “Hank when you use Hitler, in any analogy, you walk into treacherous waters, you know that. You could have said Ghengis Khan or anyone and it wouldn’t have raised an eye brow.”
Hank shot back. “I didn’t go to Harvard. I’m not smart enough to know the difference.”
But Hank is dumb like a farm house dog waiting under the mixing bowl is dumb.
“I am not calling anyone Hitler,” the rowdy-one said. “It’s just that golf game with a bunch of politicians juking and high fiving it was so inappropriate with what this country is going through.
Then Hank got all Hank on their View asses when he started quoting Harry Truman.
“In 1948, someone asked a political question and he said son never kick a cow turd on a hot day that is so true.”
The ladies rolled their eyes and all began clucking like hens with their feathers plucked.
Hilarious.
For good measure Hank brought up how the View and ESPN are all owned by Disney.
“The bottom line, Mickey is a mean mouse and he has stepped in that pile of ….”
It was theater of the absurd as he said he was sorry, he wasn’t sorry, he was misunderstood, he was exercising his first ammendment rights and wanted people to protest ESPN because they were exercising theirs.
Most people say goodbye. Not Hank.
He says; ABC, ESPN, Disney and me and the opening of MNF are like the Spanish American War.”
The gaggle of geese rolled their eyes like dashboard budahs.
“We are history. I’m out of there.”
And with that the segment ended and who the hell knows what was accomplished except it was pretty damn good tv and after all, isn’t that what it is all about.
And that’s crazy.™
