Nugent interviewed on NPR (gotta read!)

[Sir Gawain]

This is an extract of an National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and rocker Ted Nugent about sponsoring a retreat for troubled children.

Interviewer: "So, Mr. Nugent, what are you going to do with these young boys on their adventure holiday?"

Nugent: "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting."

Interviewer: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"

Nugent: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range."

Interviewer: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"

Nugent: "I don't see how, we will be teaching them proper range discipline before they even touch a firearm."

Interviewer: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."

Nugent: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"

Did you hear this exchange yourself? I have seen it reported at least a dozen times and it has been de-bunked each time.

END OF INTERVIEW
The only thing that could've made that better would be an "uhhhhhh..." followed by a long pause from the interviewer.

"It's a joke, son!" - as was the original post.

[Straight Vermonter]

The only question is, has this one or the "I'm a bad American" been posted more often?

[FrdmLvr]

Aw man! Ya mean the Motor City Madman didn't really say that on NPR?

[RippleFire]

That's the spirit! I heard it was actually Mary Tyler Moore! Or maybe it was Buddy Ebsen?

[Green Knight]

I always knew Sir Gawain was a troublemaker... :P

Ping! It's ridiculous though that Deming would have to fight sexual harassment charges over this though.
