I'm sure you know who Hank Williams Jr. is. He's the guy that's sung the opening to Monday Night Football for years now. I guess he's also a country music star, but seeing as country music and I are like oil and water, I can't really confirm that.

Anyway, Williams has apparently decided that he's a runnin' for the Senate as a Republican in 2012 in the state of Tennessee. You may or may not remember that he sang a song during the McCain/Palin campaign called "The McCain/Palin Tradition" which begins with a shot at the “left-wing liberal media” which “most of the American people don’t believe.”

Williams apparently sought advice from Sen. Lamar Alexander and former Sen. Bill Frist before announcing his decision.

By the way, you may also remember that Williams sang a song called "Cadillac P*ssy" with Kid Rock on Rock's 2003 live album. Here's a sample of the chorus Williams sings.


I wonder if Frist and Alexander knew about that song before they gave Hank some advice. But it's ok, I'm sure there's no way in a million years that song will be dragged out and used against Williams during his campaign.

Let's just pray we're not subjected to Hank using the MNF theme in any way shape or form during his run for office.

"Are you ready for some campaigning!"

No. Hell, no.
