Rumor is building that country music legend Hank Williams, Jr. is seriously kicking around the notion of running for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee. While I shake my head slightly and roll my eyes, I'll, as always, allow you a moment at home to facepalm.
Williams, who has made appearances at ten McCain-Palin campaign stops, says he's quite motivated. Might as well be motivated by something other than reworking the lyrics to his hits to fit the flailing Republican presidential ticket or the intro to Monday Night Football, but come on, this?
While he hasn't taken any kind of formal action, like setting up an exploratory committee, he has reportedly been in contact with former Senators Bill Frist and Fred Thompson. Damn, I'm starting to think that faceplant he took off a mountain may have done more damage that originally thought. First, he hitches his wagon to the McCain-Palin campaign, the most inept presidential campaign in political history, and then he looks up Bill Frist and Fred Thompson for advice? Bill Frist, a doctor who famously tried to diagnose someone from what he saw on a freakin' videotape, and Fred Thompson, a capable actor whose brief flirtation with running for President proved he wouldn't even play a credible President on TV? Bottom line, Hank: leave the family tradition where it belongs, behind a guitar on a stage somewhere. Seriously.
