You know what has always bugged me about Hank Williams Jr.? I have no idea what he really looks like. With that big hat, big dark glasses, and the beard, it’s hard to tell what his face looks like. You can hardly see any of it. Maybe it’s for the best, who knows.

Bada Ping!

Too good to be true: he was just fantastic with Sarah Palin! But forget the Senate: go for broke, Bocephus!

He fell off a mountain a broke his face. It is severely scarred, which is why he has the beard and glasses.

Supposedly a fall tore his face off, it had to be reconstructed...

Someone may know the story better than I do...

That is a fantastic idea. Oh, and by the way, Hank is handsome, and intelligent. Go Hank!

He has a place near my town. Saw him walking down the street about a year ago. Relevant to post? No. But LOVE his spunk.

Definitely he has name recognition. I’d like to see Lynn Swan and Roger Staubach do something like this.

Corker just (barely) got elected in ‘06.
Maybe this will be something that Junior is good at. If he was Philbert Dillberg you never would have heard of the clown.

I WOULD have considered this to be a joke in times past, but with someone of Hussein’s stature being elected president, and Al Franken on the verge of being a Senator.......

In 1975, he fell off Ajax Mountain. Doctors spent 2 1/2 years rebuilding his face.

Nothing wrong with this,, he’d be great,,, but there is something a little unsettling about so many celebrities running for office.
Maybe it’s just me,, I mean,, look at Ronald Reagan. But,, I don’t know,, just something about it bothers me.
