Hank Williams: Red, White & Pink-Slip Blues

72% of NYDN readers in a poll believe country singer Hank Williams Jr. shouldn't be forced to apologize for comparing Obama to Hitler on Monday's Fox & Friends.  ESPN, dropping the ball on the network's sex harassment "culture" until media and legal heat forced suits to act, punished Williams by axing his Monday Night Football opening tune. Are You Ready For Some Football may never return. NYP
Unrepentant Williams Tuesday
Here's Hank in 2009 crooning Red, White & Pink-Slip Blues on Fox & Friends:

  2. <span>ESPN is another network, like MSNBC, is so much in love and support for Obama.  I can name a quite a few anchors and analysts on ESPN that have called Bush Hitler and other worse names.  Do you think ESPN will do a Presidental NCAA College Brasket is the President is a Republican?  Nope...  And they will pay for it and after reading some of the comments over at ESPN, they're getting an ear full...</span>

  3. Think Hank should just shut up and sing, remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks? It has always pissed me off that their career was over for just one silly moment.

    Well obviously Hank had been chasing his Crown with some coffee on "Fox & Friends". And his retort that "working class people are hurting, and no one seems to care" was priceless...because he isn't, and never really has! He said something REALLY stupid, but how do we know he wasn't comparing Boehner to Hitler? As far as ESPN dropping him? Good! Not because he said something stupid, but because I'm burnt on the song! AM I READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? YES! So why do I have to listen to the damn song before I get it? And the same goes for Faith Hill on Sunday Night Football too. Enough with the songs already...

  6. Did I say I know any of them personally?  Nope!  Did I say I can name a few who has called the previous President the same crap as what Williams said about Obama.  Yep!  Next time before calling someone a "moron".  You better learn to read and comprehend before mouthing off...

  7. To yank Hank
    for his comments, crank
    that surely stank,
    still lets him thank
    that this won't leave him blank
    on his account at the bank.

  8. How about suggestions for a replacement song?  POKER FACE by Lady Gaga.  I met Hank Junior before he carved out his own musical career from under his dad's huge shadow.

    I was the news director of a radio station in Michigan in 1975.  Hank Jr. stopped by to do an interview with one of the jocks.  Maybe he wasn't drinking that morning...

    Booms, a new song would have to be by someone dead, so they couldn't say something stupid. How about this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI2uuSYHAfs
