Frankly, I do not see how.

The man can still yammer about Hitler and Obama all he wants. He is not in a jail cell or under house arrest.

He works for a network at their pleasure. Were I to start loudmouthing some of my views on Affirmative Action, I would be bounced out of my job. Within the workplace, there is a required level of diplomacy, tact, and yes, political correctness.

But if you were a Democrat President and were caught in an improper relationship with an intern half your age, you'd be glorified and get to keep your job.

Apples and Oranges.

Bill Clinton was a President. Hank is a guy employed by an entertainment network.

And Clinton was not glorified- he was Impeached.

Anyone that watches MNF knows the voice....but the regime can't stand for that sort of thing. He's gone.

It's not apples and oranges. Political correctness and the ridiculous "sexual harrassment" protocols were both set up by liberals. However, the standards are only applied to non-liberals.

It's just more evidence of the intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy of those on the left.

BTW, did Democrats vote to impeach Clinton? NO. They defended his conduct when it mattered. And don't tell me personal conduct doesn't matter to hypocritical Democrats because they forced Bob Packwood to resign right around the same time they were protecting Bubba.

Yea you' re right. Its apples and turnips. Sorry to inform you that its a helluva lot easier to sack some singer than it is the POTUS.

I agree there are endless double standards, but that is not the right comparison.

Besides, do you really think HW Jr sounded anything close to intelligent in that exchange?

Basically, you have higher standards for a bad country singer than you do the President of the United States. Yeah, you're a lib.

He was PO'ed before the camera shot of him.
He has an issue with FOX, if you could not tell.
Has something to do with their push of their candidate on the viewing public.

The guy is fed up. He is not alone.... and that goes for both sides of the isle.
