I was thinking about the Miley Cyrus kerfuffle the other night while watching a Duck Dynasty marathon. I'm a recent convert to the show, being wary of most of what falls under the category "reality show." One can never be sure when treading into the dark waters of so-called "reality" TV that Miss Kay is at all different from Mama June.
Miley is taking a bit of a beating for her performance on MTV's Video Music Awards. While the backlash is understandable -- she is an adult and therefore responsible for her own behavior -- did she really even stand a chance, given her parents' willingness to dump her into the cesspool that is Hollywood?
Compare and contrast dads Billy Ray Cyrus and Willie Robertson: while both are Southern good ole boys, Billy Ray went Hollywood and Willie chose to stay backwoods. And there's the difference. Willie chose what is best for his family, while still being able to become an American success story. For the most part the Robertsons have kept it real -- that is, they've kept their lives family-centered, not celebrity-centered. Every show ends with the family seated around the dinner table in prayer. The message is very powerful, and the show's high ratings support that message.
On the other hand, Billy Ray, like many other stage moms and dads before him, pimped his daughter out to the highest bidder. He has thrown her to the wolves for his own gain, and they've devoured her with relish.
Another difference between Billy Ray Cyrus and Willie Robertson is that Billy Ray wants to be friends with his kids, as he himself expressed in an interview from six years ago with Glenn Beck. Billy Ray abdicated the role of dad in favor of the easier route.

In the 1960s, Robertson, now 66, was the starting quarterback at Louisiana Tech for two seasons ahead of Terry Bradshaw. His teammates and a coach recall him as a talented, outdoors-obsessed character who walked away from his final year of eligibility to spend more time hunting and fishing, but had the talent to play in the NFL”
Terry Bradshaw said Phil Robertson had the best arm he’d ever seen.
Wikipedia lists "Destiny Hope Cyrus" as her birth name.
Either name, she still put on one of the skankiness performances I've ever seen.
And, what IS the tongue all about? Just another notch up from skankiness?
I think it’s a tossup as to how members of the 3rd generation of Robertsons will turn out. They have a lot of advantages, starting with strong families and good moral formation, but even in such cases, there’s always been a certain amount of teenage running-wild. (Their grandparents, for example.) The introduction of nationwide celebrity and the opportunities it opens for young adults may result in some unhappy and highly public trainwrecks. I sincerely hope not, though!
Another positive element is that they were wealthy before they were celebrities, so there’s been no introduction of sudden riches to destabilize the families.
Ignorant and stupid are two very different things. I do not believe any of them are either one.
If couldn't stop myself from being excessively literal, I would observe that it's likely that there are many subjects of which various members of the Robertson family are ignorant, just as there are for every living human being, even Thomas Sowell. We all don't know much more than we know.
Interesting tidbit... Did not know that. Thanks.
Cute as a young teenager and matured into homely. It happens.

I thought the original was humorous, the correction is not.
I was feeling humorless and just wanted to discuss the content.
I'm looking as little as I can but that bod appears well on its way to middle age to me.
As a person on the outskirts of "elderly" I can probably say that.
All kinds of demonic rituals involve a darting and/or protruding tongue.
I'm in that neighborhood myself. I'm 68, to a person 10 or more years my junior, they probably think I am already there. To a person 10 or more years my senior, I am a whipper snapper.
She might fit right in.
LOL - you are going to have to help me out; What is the post number of your correction, mr. hand print cheek?
It was a typo...
I am humbly here before you, begging and pleading for your utmost forgiveness, oh mighty man of grammar!
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I MUST DO TO ATONE FOR THIS HORRID AFFRONT!!!
Or not, I don't care. Thanks for your too cents anyway.
Phil is my absolute favorite on the show. Calm, measured, wise, but not in any particular hurry to place himself on display. I don't think of him as a curmudgeon; I don't recall ever seeing him flustered or upset, even when his old chair was sold he took it in stride. I particularly enjoyed seeing him and Kay renew their vows.
She wouldn’t be spanking dwarfs in public.
Wow! Great article. Thank you!
I knew it was a typo, get the chip off your shoulder. I make typos too but they are rarely humorous, yours was.
I wasn’t laughing at bad grammar but at a funny typo.
I considered your post humorous and responded in kind. Get the bag of chunk mulch off of yours.
May God bless you richly brother.
