A year ago, conservatives were having a collective cow because Beyonce released a country record.
Sunday, Beyonce captured the one Grammy that had eluded her, the Album of The Year, for that selfsame record, "Cowboy Carter".

Monday, some nothing happening author, Raymond Arroyo, went on Fox No News to whine to Laura Ingraham about it. The crux of Arroyo's lame argument was that Beyonce, with 35 total Grammys, had more than country icon Dolly Parton and the late Frank Sinatra combined. For the record, Parton, who is still an active artist, has won 10 Grammys over the course of her nearly 60 year career (she started as duet partner to Porter Wagoner). Sinatra won 10 during his active career, then was honored with a Lifetime Achievement award or some such, to finish with 11.
The truth is, and Arroyo was not willing to own up to it, of course, is that this was what conservatives were afraid would happen. That Beyonce, vilified a year ago for even daring to release a country record, had won. I think another reason Arroyo took the time to whine was because no one's heard of his books, and he probably hasn't smelled the best seller list, if ever. In other words, jealous much?
That said, Arroyo is a Weasel for making a mountain out of, not a molehill, but, rather, a mere divot in the ground.
