Who commented: "Hot blonde, dead gazelle, I'll be in my bunk"? What? No one?

Ted hears the word 'bear' and reaches for his comp bow.

Ms. Shemane Nugent isn't the Nugent who we have frequent differences with. She isn't the person who regularly goes on the radio and make stupid and highly inflammatory pronouncements that we, to put it mildly, take great issue with. She got caught by airport security with a handgun in her carry-on, which is unquestionably a Really Bad Thing but which is also, as the articles states, not entirely unheard of. Rather than bellowing about government tyranny and jack-booted TSA thugs, she admitted embarrassment over her mistake and appeared to be remorseful. So yes, owing to Ms. Nugent's connection to a very public and outspoken gun rights advocate, this story merited all of the publicity that it has received. But the incident doesn't appear to have been intentional, and the person in question did not appear to be attempting to defy airport security regulations. So, speaking just for myself, I would rather hold off here and instead save my ire and snark for use in responding to her husband's many provocative and contentious statements.

Perfect example of mental illness and gun ownership. No sane woman would be within 10 feet of Uncle Ted if they could help it. How do you justify marrying someone who crapped themselves in order to get out of serving in the US military?

No guns at the Capitol?

Not really an A2 enthusiast myself, but do have to admit that if some of its adherents showed up packing in the House and Senate galleries, the NRA's hired help on the gaudy carpet below might see things a bit differently.

This wouldn't have been an issue on Guns Allowed Airline (GAA). On GAA anyone can bring a gun on board, no questions asked. It's like a gun show but on an airplane. What gun owner would not want to go GAA? Because guns make us safer.

Not to worry, it was just the Cat Scratch Fever that made for a bit of a forgetful Free-For-All the morning of her departure and now that she's Home Bound back to the Land of a Thousand Dances, everything should be ok.

Also: I vaguely remember my brother watching some awful Ted Nugent reality series in which he promised as a reward for some challenge the right to sleep with his wife.

Not sexy time her, just sleep next to her on the bed. But still...
