I can't believe no one's made the inevitable "Larry the Cable Guy" comparison yet...

The years passed; mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes that genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss, giving recording contracts to dumbshits, and prolonging erections.

Maybe then he'll get busted for tax evasion. C'mon guys, he could be the next Willie Nelson!

Minus the talent, that is.

Have any of you heard his music? Heard him sing? Heard him play?

Then shut up, bitches.

For all you know, he might be the next willie nelson. That's about as indie as it gets. Oh, but he doesn't agree with you on national politics? Well, hell yeah, he must suck then.

Sheeple.

Remember. Vote Obama and get your "I'm not a racist" trump card.

Pretty sure that if John-Everyman-from-Shitville-Swingstate-USA that Obama used to relate some campaign story announced that he was putting out a record -- or Heidi Montag, or Keith Olberman, or Beau Biden -- it would also be met with derision. It's not about politics; it's about someone who's having their 15 minutes of fame trying to cash-in through music. Yes, Joe the Plumber COULD be the next Willie Nelson, but he's probably not. In conclusion, go fuck your mother. Thanks.

Now that Toby Keith has come out as an Obama-supporting Democrat, the GOP needs a new country-music figurehead.

Lies.

Though, that goes with the Uhbamuh narrative.

Well, that's good to know...he's much better at making disenfranchised, lower-class voters that the Grand Old Party has their back. Though knowing that much about Toby Keith has never really been a life-goal of mine.

Hey, I heard that Toby Kieth made a credit card donation to Obama's campaign! Of course, Obama's fraud-friendly donation system also accepted donations from Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin, Osama bin Laden, A. Fraud, Rigg Elecshun, Mr. Illegal Foreign Donation, Stealin Munny, Mickey Mouse, and John McCain.
