Meet John Persinger and tell him Happy Birthday, because he just turned 100 years old, at the Hooters. What is his longevity secret? "Good living, I guess. A lot of good food. Steaks, fried potatoes. I sip a little Royal Crown now and then." Ha ha, don't worry, he is not drinking down-market carbonated corn syrup. The Des Moines Register informs us that he really meant "Crown Royal." But what really helps him through life, other than booze and Hooters girls and chicken wings and his famous "fried mush," is his deep hatred of George W. Bush.
Persinger has lived all over the country — even Alaska, and the Philippines, which was basically an American colony back then, where he was bombed by the Kamikaze Japanese! Persinger has had all kinds of other jobs, too: farmer, bush pilot, diesel mechanic, harmonica player.
After 72 years of marriage, to the same lady, Persinger is widowed now — but he and his wife "Vi" used to come to this Hooters all the time, starting back when it opened in 1993.
Anyway, about George W. Bush: What does the Centenarian Hero Veteran of the Korean War and World War II think of our greatest president?
"Oh, God," he says. "George Bush ruined the country."

I like this guy already.
I too love Hooters and hate George W. Bush. I'm not 100 though.
I bet he is on the HRC Iowa Steering Committee. This is where the trouble started for her.
I'm sending him a fancy 7 diamond whore. God bless you, sir.
Persinger for New York Governor! At least this guy knows what to pay for his tatted out jersey trash.
That man looks like he could still much some serious rug.
What do Hooters and George have in common?
They both boobs.
Girl on the far right looks like she's not sure if he just died right now.
Are you sure that's not Stephen Hawking?

What's with the recent influx of boobs into the American media?
That WHORE really screwed things up.
Hooters girls in Iowa are fugly!
If this if what teh Beach Boys meant with their "Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright" bullshit then they how am I supposed to trust them on the whole "California girls" stuff.
Fucking liars.
so john mccain has a birthday at hooters and that makes the news?
@shortsshortsshorts: Screwed things up? An influx of boobs sounds like just what the American media needs!
@FourthBear:
That was an after-thought....
@Gopherit:
Good call!
So this is what Billy Crystal to celebrate his Yankees debut.
Oh to be be a centegenarian bush pilot at Hooters.
That picture has officially scared the snark out of me. Right. Out.
Gross.
I was so inspired by this story, I almost stopped wanting to kill myself. Then it passed.
@Egg_Pan: OK. That was totally wrong. I'm holding you responsible for me wasting my Friday lunch beer which sprayed out my nose.
@DrDungButter: Burnin' Sky?
Hooters in Iowa are used to dealing with guys like this all the time.
He's their first Bush-hater, though. Bless 'im!
Ok - so not ALL Iowans are as shite-for-brains as that Congressman from Sioux City.
The news story said the Hooterettes did the "hokey pokey." I'm guessing with Johnny having a 100-year-old penis, that doesn't mean what I think it does.
I salute you, sir. You're doing God's work. You are a true American Hero and National Treasure. I give you infinity whore diamonds to spend as you wish on filthy dirty whores.
I think he means George Prescott Bush.
Anybody ever watch Willard Scott do the 100 year old birthday tributes? 75% of the old folks say they made it that long because of booze. At this rate, I'll make it to 125. Maybe 130 because I hate GW, too.
@shortsshortsshorts: Like him? hell I love him...and I hate George Bush too! (and them r sum fine lookin'corn-fed, Iowa Hooters he's enjoying!)
This man is the fly in Kevorkian's euthanasiac ointment. He kind of looks like Dr. Jack, too. Coincidence?
It is so hard to get good fried mush on the west coast.
hah hah...this site mixes politics and fun...i get it! which one in the photo is the 101 year old man! funny.
That man no doubt witnessed the creation of the Lincoln Highway in early middle age, and marveled at the sudden influx of rich East Coasters and their horseless sleighs...
@Jumpin: Well, yes, it does go back to George P., doesn't it?
@san antone rose: who is George P.? I always misse joke! maybe next time i get it.
@curmudgeonbastard: Maybe his century old pecker has worn out after a century of fine service, but his tongue is still at the ready and in the pleasure position. That's why there's all that smiling going on in the first row. And, if he were to tell Willard Scott what keeps him going, he might just say carpet. Eat less corn and more carpet, he'd say.
It doesn't have to be a Crown Royal OR Royal Crown. There are a lot of places in the South where you can still find a Crown Royal AND Royal Crown. If they know what they are doing, those are served with a tiny little Moon Pie instead of a lemon wedge.
This guy has it down.
@The Belly Rub Bandit: Last we heard George P is the keeper of Geronimo's skull and a lover of the smell of asparagus.
