http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Answer-Man-Luke-Scott-talks-Nugent-hunting-and?urn=mlb-292970just a snippet of the "controversial" remarks made by a formerly unknown baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles, Luke Scott:
"(Obama) was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."
ok, so first off, this was the first story in the news on yahoo! today. really? i mean, i've heard enough about wikileaks to want to pound my head against the wall - but at least it has some type of relevance that makes me want to listen. now Luke Scott - who the fuck are you anyway? never heard your name mentioned before today, and now, since you made a remark about the president not being a born american, you're significant???
in all honesty, half of what LeBron or any other sports star (i use "star" sparingly as Luke Scott is obviously not one) is about as relevant to me as the thing i just spit on the sidewalk. maybe Luke should hold a press conference to let us know that he's taking his talents to the political podium - i.e. he's going to be a professional bullshitter.
while i will give a slight bit of credit to the point he's trying to make (about 3 years too late - as if we haven't heard this before - i mean seriously why is this still news???? he's president and he isn't doing that great of a job - you elected him - get over it), what is the point of even highlighting this guys opinion as headlining news on a major internet website? and then (unfortunately) i keep reading and see this:
moving along to attire... what in the fuck is he smoking wearing that shit? bet he's a big Ed Hardy fan. so then he's holding up a picture of some massive bucks that apparently he and some other guy killed. this is obviously brought out to protect his manhood - the shattering of which took place as his head protruded through the hole in that fucking terrible shirt.
at some point in the interview, the discussion leads to Ted Nugent. Luke Scott says,"I'm a big fan of Ted Nugent because he's a 'keep it real' type of guy." Luke, if Ted saw you wearing that shirt and talking your good ol' boy huntin' bullshit, he might have the cross hairs on your bearded head before you realize it. keep it real, Luke: keep your ass on the baseball field or the tree stand. here's where Luke's keeping it real goes wrong...
so then Luke begins to talk about politics. i'm not defiling my blog with his jibber jabber, but some points he brings up are:
1. communism in Venezuela (even though it's socialism - but apparently there's no difference to Luke)
2. obama not being born in the US - see image below:
(Luke, your unbeknown credibility is rapidly diminishing....)
3. and other nincompooperies...
it's hardly worth even considering, but where did this interview go wrong???? oh yeah, when you ask someone about their opinions on politics. i mean, go back and re-read the entire interview and you'll see where the tone completely changes - the 2nd amendment. and apparently Luke is an experience fountain of knowledge about seeking out bad intentions in all facets of the world: "I've seen it in every — it doesn't matter what level. It can be in politics, it can be in business, it can be in sports, it can be in the construction field. Doesn't matter. It's all the same attitude. It's the same thing." sort of like how communism and socialism are the same thing. nice broad generalizations there, Luke. i sure would like to hear your views on homosexuality or abortion or gay marriage... aw shucks, i doesn't matter. they're all basically the same attitudes so they're basically the same things.
at this point i'm done with this interview (wondering why i even spent this much time on it) and reflecting on how fucking stupid it is that this is the premier headline on yahoo!. then i begin to reflect on the fact that i will never be utilizing yahoo! again for news - off to the wayside with you, USA Today and Fox News. but it really doesn't matter. they're all the same attitudes. it's all the same.
