re: #27 Gus

From the article (my emphasis):

“We’ve got a President that does a call to the Koran or Mecca or whatever,” he told the magazine. When asked if he believed Obama hated America, Williams Jr. responded, “I don’t know about that but it’s kind of obvious. I guess when you take a tour, a world tour, to apologize for America.”

A call to the Koran or Mecca? You don’t know, but it’s obvious?

Hank….

LOL, looks like Hank Junior’s daddy nicknamed him well. His bio on Wikipedia says he’s also known as Bocephus, so I dug a little further and found this:

Rod Brasfield was an American comedian who was prominently featured on the Grand Ole Opry from 1947 until his death in 1958. […]

…Brasfield sometimes did ventriloquist routines with a dummy named Bocephus, after whom Hank Williams nicknamed his then-infant son Hank Williams, Jr. […]

I think I’ll make that my new code name for any ignorant knuckle-dragger that parrots stupid wingnut talking points.
