NASCAR legend Richard
Petty has pulled a Kevin Long –
speaking the truth when the wise move was shutting up.
“The King” said that the only reason
Danica Patrick receives attention is that she is a woman and that the only way
she could win a Sprint Cup race is if “everybody else stayed home.”
Kudos to the King for
still having sharp enough eyesight to recognize that under that fire suit
resides the slightly-slutty-GoDaddy.com-you-bet-she’s-a-woman image NASCAR
loves to broadcast and suggesting
that a driver who has an average finish in the mid-20s is unlikely to win a
race anytime in the near future seems wholly reasonable.
Much to Petty’s
surprise, more than a few folks took issue with his thoughts and called him out
as a sexist pig.
Possibly missing their
point (by a mile or so) Richard responded that if the first name of the driver
he mentioned were Danny, rather than Danica, no one would have blinked an eye.
In a successful effort to dig his hole a little deeper, Petty said he has been
married for 55 years proving “I love women.”
Richard, speak truth to
the politically correct and they’ll take you out in the corner.
Aging rocker Ted
Nugent recently entertained
conservative wing-nuts by describing President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel”.
Of course, Nugent’s mouth severed any connection with his or any other brain
years ago.
At the NRA’s 2012 convention in St.
Louis, Nugent recommended that conservatives “ride onto that battlefield (the
election) and chop [Democrats’] heads off in November,” adding that if Obama
was re-elected, “I will be either dead or in jail by this time next year.”
In an election night
Tweet he spewed, “Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless
supporters have a president to destroy America.”
