I suppose it’s no surprise that life-long Democrat Toby Keith would endorse Obama b…
Wait, what? What the fuck did I just say? But apparently so:
Asked while promoting his new movie “Beer For My Horses” about the role of patriotism in the current presidential election, Keith replied: “There’s a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up.
“So I thought it was beautiful the other day when Obama went to Afghanistan and got educated about Afghanistan and Iraq. He came back and said some really nice things.
“So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it’s really important that those things have to take place. And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton. And that’s coming from a Democrat.”
At least in this crazy mixed-up world we live in (Toby Keith endorsed Obama? Who’s next, zombie Reagan? The cast and crew of Red Dawn? Joe Lieberman?) there’s still room for a movie called “Beer For My Horses”.
… I’m not going to link because it’s an AP story, and anyhow I excerpted all the good parts. Ha ha, go fuck yourself, AP.

I await his fans to tell him to shut up and sing, and threaten his life.

I await my fans to tell me the same. Fans?

Keith’s an opportunist. Duh. He saw a market for super-patriotic country songs after 9/11 and he jumped in with both feet and made a mint. Good for him. That’s called capitalism.
But I don’t for a second buy his “I’m a Democrat” line. He’s just noticing which way the wind is blowing.

I thought the name of the song was Beer for My Horseface.

Actually, Me, take it from this Oklahoma Independent that Toby Keith is just a typical Oklahoma Democrat: very conservative on most issues, but enough of a shit-kickin’ Good Ol’ Boy that he’s turned off by the godbags who control the Oklahoma GOP.
FWIW, he raised money for our Democratic Governor Brad Henry during his first gubernatorial campaign in 2002, when Henry was very much an underdog.

Hey The Editors,
Have you considered creating a Poor Man 527? I’m only half joking…
As you say, the rats aren’t going to fuck themselves and my sense is that there’s a lot of potential money floating around the internet that would get behind anyone willing to publicly engage in some rodential copulation!

He was in Houston the other day. The Dixie Chicks opened.

Yeah, well, McCain’s still got Daddy Yankee. Obama had his chance to grab him and blew it.

Actually this doesn’t really surprise me. I’m glad he’s on our side now; the man has the best drinking songs of anybody since Merle Haggard.

Someone with photoshopping skilz needs to put some lipstick on John McCain and Steve Schmidt.
Mach schnell!

Robert Green linked to just such a picture — of McCain, anyhow — that his wife did. I can’t find it right now; maybe he’ll show up.

The guys at americablog have just such a picture up as well. Lipstick and a little porcine nose, actually.

If the Rapture doesn’t include Copenhagen, Busch Lite and Trigger, wtf is the point?

a Toby Keith concert, a Houston Texans football game and a Colorado Rockies baseball game.
So wait, they tortured the fuckers before sleeping with them?
We live in a clown show run by crooked Jesus freaks.
The investigation also concluded that several of the officials “frequently consumed alcohol at industry functions, had used cocaine and marijuana, and had sexual relationships with oil and gas company representatives.”
If politics is showbiz for ugly people, apparently ‘public service’ is like the Ad industry for Republicans.

And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton.
As far as praise goes, that goes beyond merely “faint” and into the realm of “undetectable”.

Enough with the posts, curv3ball. Just shut up and sing. Otherwise, it would be a shame if something happened to interrupt the flow of your anti-aging pharmaceuticals, shaving centuries off your life expectancy. If you know what I mean.

If Cindy McCain is posting photoshops of her husband, he must really be in the doghouse over this Palin thing.

Toby Keith loves to play “lefty songs”
