Weasel of The Week: Patrick Howley

 Patrick Howley is a right wing whiner who had a cow over the selection of actor Anthony Mackie (The Falcon & The Winter Soldier) to host the Country Music Awards earlier this week. Apparently, as Howley whined and mocked country music fans, it's clear his ignorance is showing.

While Howley name checked the likes of the late Merle Haggard, and Mackie owned up to being a fan of Dolly Parton, growing up in New Orleans, no one bothered to explain to Howley that Nashville has seen its share of African-American artists over the years, including current star Darius Rucker, Cowboy Troy, and the late Charley Pride.

He had nothing better to do than whine about nothing.

See, the GOPers are looking for excuses to vent, whine, and complain because they have nothing to offer their voters but manufactured rage. All this geek did was make himself a target for late night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, whose network, CBS, carried the awards earlier this week. While Empty-G and the usual dimwits continue to extend their 15 minutes of infamy to stay in the headlines, Howley is trying to fill the void created by Rush Limbaugh's passing a couple of years back. And failing. The only thing this geek is worthy of is a set of Weasel ears, and that's our Easter present to Howley.
