Baseball's most brain-dead player: we have a winner

Answer Man: Luke Scott talks Nugent, hunting and Obama origin


Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott stopped by baseball's winter meetings Tuesday and, after some harmless chatter about his team's offseason dealings, stated with conviction that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Oh, yes, he did. Scott's opinion about the president's birthplace — while certainly not unique — was a stunning climax to a friendly and frank 20-minute Answer Man session that spanned his enthusiasm for baseball, hunting, firearms, personal responsibility and smaller government....


LS: Obama ... hmm ... Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia....

Come on, Luke, just say it: he's black!

Now with audio. Sounds dumber than it reads.

Dis just in... President Obama: Back up for a second, Gibbsy. Baltimore still has a baseball team?

I added in our "The Nuge" label. It's been over three years since we used it, so I'm not surprised you'd forgotten about it.

Maybe, now that he's surrounded by plutocrats all the time (albeit the NRA card-carrying, tobacco chewing, animal-shooting variety), Scott is upset that Osama wants to redistribute... I'm sorry, Obama... wants to redistribute all the wealth. Is he aware that nothing has changed, nothing to see here, we're still redistributing it upward so that he can still start a small business and create jobs for us?

There are are lot of labels that haven't been used in three years. They're all there, waiting to go now that the crazies are back in power. Sort of.

Also - I see what you did there, Obama, Osama. How have we survived so long with a President that has a name that's a letter away from a terrist? Not to mention that his middle name is Hussein by the way.

I phink it's pretty clear dat having a Prez wiv a name datz only one letter different from a tarrist name hasn't really protected us from da tarrists, since - HELLO - HE'S A PHOKKING MUSLIM WIDDOUT A BIRF CERTIFIMICATE - right? CALL HOMELAND SECURITY, and tell dem it's not about my genitatlanimalia dis time.

His middle name is Hussein, by the way...
