Ted Nugent is in the news again for shooting off his mouth. His latest rant was a veiled threat against President Obama.
He said to a group at an NRA event, in part -- "I'll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year..."
Dead or jail why? Because you shot the president with your big bow and arrow?
Such threats are against the law, but Nugent will hide behind the Justice Department's manual for federal prosecutors that states his comments do not constitute a threat if "a reasonable person would interpret them as mere political hyperbole, idle talk, or jest."
So, that's that.
More ridiculous is the fact that Nugent is even considered a voice worthy of lending his endorsement. This is a guy that was 30 years old and started dating an underage girl named Pele Massa. To get around the illegality, he had her parents sign over guardianship to him. Creeeeepy.
Some endorsement. Maybe, he's just misunderstood. Maybe we need to look deeper into his psyche to find out what's in there. Maybe there's a nugget of level headed wisdom we can uncover that will put all of this to rest.
Spoiler alert. I wouldn't hold your breath.

How can you go wrong?” — on Anderson Cooper in 2011
