Hahahahahahahahaha, here is Megadeth’s (and Metallica’s) Dave Mustaine, last relevant when your editrix was a sophomore in high school, being really “hip” and “with-it” and “politically informed.” First: Obama is not an American (duh):
“I have a lot of questions about [President Obama], but certainly not where he was born,” Mustaine said. “I know he was born somewhere else than America.”
[...]
“How come [Obama] was invisible until he became, uh, whatever he was in Illinois?” he asked. (Obama was previously a senator.) “They don’t have any record of him.”
Well, Obama was also the president of Harvard Law Review, so some people had heard of him. So, that’s stupid. But far funnier than just yer typical brain-damaged Hessian japery is what comes next in Mustaine’s interview with Canadian radio host George Stroumboulopoulos, and that is the cool hipness of one Mr. Former Senator Rick Santorum:
He looks “like he could be a really cool president,” Mustaine explained, “kind of like a JFK kind of guy.” If “JFK kind of guy” means “extremist, paranoid, spitty, sneery, whiny, pouty, smegma-lipped, and totally itching for a new Inquisition,” then yeah, Rick Santorum is kind of like that.

I thought we weren't supposed to make fun of the developmentally disabled? Why do you dangle them before us, targets fit for no comment other than "who cares what that "R-word" thinks?
Republican?
Rinkled?
Retired Rocker?
I'm fairly certain at this point that it was Dave and not Cliff Burton that had his head crushed by that Metallica bus. Cliff is prob out there somewhere with Jim Morrison, laughing at us all.
I believe these fellers were referred to in a lawsuit (Megadeath v. Megadeth) as "dunderheads who don't know how to spell"…does that help?
I can't believe googles won't help me in my search. Has google broked?
Relapsed alcoholic?
Hmm…is it <REDACTED>?
JFK still means "Jesus you're Fucking Kidding" on the interwebz right?
I was a Megadeth fan in high school. What strange, exotic cocktail of illicit drugs was I on back then? Let's never do that again, brain.
Mustaine was a lot more sane back in the days when he was still on his own strange, exotic cocktail of illicit drugs. Then he sobered-up and found Jesus. Big mistake.
No middle ground for that guy. Either so insanely intoxicated that even fellow metalheads can't stand him, or a Santorum supporter.
So he replaced one drug with another, makes sense.
What an idiot (unsurprisingly), also.
Yep. When I look and listen to Santorum, I think "JFK" As in; Jesus Fucking Krazy..
That comparison makes me want to throw up.
Snob!
Is it weird that Santorum obviously feels the same way?
I'm pretty sure by “JFK kind of guy” he simply meant "white".
How uncool is Dave Mustaine? Even members of Metallica find him embarrassing to be around.
Have you seen "Some Kind Of Monster"? Excellent, in-depth documentary on Metallica. (interesting even to non-fans, IMO). Dave Mustaine is in it for a little bit, and he's SO WHINY (explaining why he identifies w/ Frothy so much?).
This image of course negates it all..
Dimebag Darrell is rolling over in his grave.
BAAAAARRRRR-GAINS!
Imprisoning me!
All I see… Absolute Savings!
Such a great deal!
Such a great find!
Damn!
These jeans look sexy as hell!
And they're right wingers too.
Douches of a feather…
Do smear together?
…
…Ew.
All the dumb right wing posing will not make 13 a good or relevant album, try another tactic, loser.
Sarah, meet Bristol's new boyfriend. Despite the earrings, ripped jeans and long hair, he's a conservatard, and very traditional in his values. You two will have sooo much to talk about.
Talk? I give Bristol half an hour before she wants to make a baby with Dave Mustaine.
What's the half hour for?
Despite the earrings, ripped jeans and long hair, he's a conservatard, and very traditional in his values.
Around these parts, the ripped jeans and long hair are part of the conservatard costume.
To give Metallica a tiny bit of credit, they did kick Brainedead Dave out.
Having said that, they all should be skullfucked. By someone else's private parts.
Wonkette is harshing my boner this morning.

Stop "Arizona Harrassing" Metallica! Some people (R-words) think "Enter Sandman" is art!
MARIANO RIVERA LIBEL!
Seriously, there is nothing here that I can masturbate to today. To whom can I turn?
for a bunch of people who hate hollywood, republicans have a funny way of showing it. electing reagan and the terminator. constantly shoving down our throats any bit part actor, obscure musician, or extra from gone with the wind with nazi sympathies as notable republican celebrities.
Rupert from Survivor is running for senator of Indiana as a Libertarian. The Republicans don't have all the Hollywood elite. So there.
Sonny Fucking Bono. And now, Mrs. Sonny Fucking Bono, who is only has-been-famous by injection.
Like that blonde bimbo from SNL, the one famous for being a passenger in a car driven over a cliff by a fucking cat?
Toonsis should have driven the passenger side of the car into a tree.
I thought she was most famous for playing the romantic lead in that "Weird Al" Yankovic movie.
Don't forget one of the first entertainers turned politicians (not counting Governor "You Are My Sunshine" Davis or Gentleman Jimmy Walker) – Sen. George Murphy from California!
Yeah, the sweatervest-wearing, sex-hating, misogynist dweeb would be a "really cool president". Fuck, even Steve Urkel is cooler than Santorum.
See, I like Urkel. If Urkel were here today, as a 20something like myself, I would consider going out with him.
Santorum's like…a used dildo that's been left out too long and started crusting over. (God damn, I'm petty today aren't I?)
Where'd you get those pants… little Missy rack at JC Penney?
I love you for that.
Anyone told Mr. Mustaine about Santorum's position on porn?
Either Bevis or Butthead used to wear a Metallica T-shirt. I forgot which one, but interview them both to see who they support.
Didn't Beavis grow up to marry some politician lady from Alaska?
I have to say. They never made fun of any of the bands I like videos. So they are kinda cool for that.
I always thought B&B tended to have pretty good taste, once you got off the predictable ones (Gwar). And if it weren't for them I'd have never heard of Reverend Horton Heat. So they're 100% OK in my book.
They said once about Pavement "This band sucks. They should try harder like the Jesus Lizard"
"brain-damaged Hessian japery"
kudos.
that's going in the family x-mas brag letter
I was a party one time and this guy came up to me saying he sees me all the time waiting for the bus and he would always think I look like Dave Mustaine cuz of the mullet I was rocking for some reason at the time and I took it as a pretty sweet compliment but then I heard that Mustaine is a 'bagger, so that's too bad and I probably shouldn't have had a mullet back then either.
Could that guy have been hitting on me? Santorum wouldn't have approved if he was!
Should've said "Fuck Mustaine, I'm Barry Melrose."
MegaBirfth records must be selling quicker than Santorum vests.
This is what happens, late in life, when your too "saucy" for Branson.
Dood, you've got a huge head.
Heavy metal still sucks.
Heavy metal still rocks and is the most awesomest music ever, you mean.
Sorry SorosBot we'll just have to agree to disagree that Poison and Winger are shit.
Poison is just awesome, man You'll have to recognize that every rose it's thorn, just like every night has it's dawn, and every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.
Poison: the only hair metal band that lived up to its name.
Sorosbot has a mullet. It's true, look it up!
In fairness, Poison weren't really metal, just glam rock like all the other tepid and banal followers of the great New York Dolls. But "real" metal is indeed really terrible; apart from Slayer (maybe), there isn't a single band that one can admire unironically.
I was dating an older woman when they were relevant, she tried to get me to attend the Ratt/Poison show when it came to her town. I politely declined, she impolitely dumped my ass.
Women, amirite?
ETA: When Poison was relevant, not the older woman. Jesus.
Megadeath is to heavy metal what Sarah Palin is to John McCain's legacy.
Heavy metal: good. Hair metal: BLECK! YECCH! PTUI! BAD BOT! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD BOT!
Now, allow me to hook you up to our electrodes for your re-education…
We used to called bands like these 'Pussy Rock'; most the folks we encountered who played it were Joan Crawfordesque supreme primadonnas of the first order, only with larger makeup kits and higher heels.
There's some stuff that's kind of cool, but to my ears so many of the songs appeared to be whiny things created as pentatonic-hammer-on-laced unmelodic guitar solo delivery systems.
The big hair bands of the 80's are not to be confused with heavy metal.
That's like comparing polka to gangsta rap.
These modern musical types ain't exactly "Country Joe and the Fish," are they? If they had a Woodstock, nobody would get high. Or laid, even.
They'll get high (on crystal meth).
Haha, "modern"!
I’m an axe grinder, big whiner
Mama says that I never, never mind her
Got no brains, I'm insane
The teacher says that I'm one big pain
I'm like a shitter, sixth string loser
I've got a mouth from a regurgitator
I want nuttier, less Nearer
I'm gonna spread it till it strikes the hour
Bang your head

"And, like, Santorum is really cool and stuff, and Obama is all like: 'I'm the President and you're not' and shit like that and Santorum is all down with the good stuff and Obama wasn't even born in America and all and I'm all like 'Fuck Obama, big time.' 'cause I think Santorum is a really cool guy and all." ….Sure Dave, Ted Nugent is holding on line one and Pat Boone is on two.
I find it interesting that Dave Mustane and Megadeth became completely irrelevent about the time Dave Mustane became a born again – and even more important – cleaned up the haze in his brain enough to show the world he doesn't have one.
I wish that Dave Mustaine had one iota of talent, like , for example, that Messican Nigra-actually Argentinian-Oscar Aleman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7hDZzuQ90
I'll see your Oscar Aleman and raise you a Benny Moré:

Nice!
I love the big band Mambo and Latin Jazz stuff from the '40s and '50s, from Cuba to NYC. Here's a Dizzy Gillespie/Chano Pozo classic from that era, originally recorded in the late '40s, though this smokin' session is from 1970:

"“kind of like a JFK kind of guy.”
Is Santorum going to schtup the ghost of Marilyn Monroe?
Mustaine. Isn't that what your underpants get from Santorum?
That reminds me… you know who else was an embarrassing metalhead conservative?
Alice Cooper?
Ahnold?
eeeewwwwwww!
Val Kilmer?
Chuck Norris?
Janine Turner?
Nooooooo. Was it the northern exposure that did it? Or the baby out of wedlock?
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss. For some of her insightful, thought-provoking views check out her blog: http://www.janineturner.com/blog/tag/politics/pag…
Oh shit, I hate to give her the pageviews. Just take my word for it: she's a right-wing, whiny, Palin wannabe. Kinda takes away any mystery about what happened to her career. Snicker.
The T-1000?
Rommel's Panzer Division?
Cousin Eddie on National Lampoon's Vacation?
But what does Gorkey Park think of Newt Gingrich?
Wow. Goin' WAY back to the wall for the Gorky Park reference! Well played.
"Bang bang! Blah blah blah-de-blah…" That's all I remember. They were no Autograph.
Stryper is also a key indicator. (These jerks had a platinum record??)
I heard Stryper doing a Black Sabbath cover recently (Heaven and Hell). iTunes seems to imply that they did an entire album of metal covers. What a world.
A Metalhead's "Cool" normally means "Fucking Lame Ass" in the civilized world
Black t-shirts, Vitamin D deficiency and mayonaise-on-white bread sam'miches…
At least ever one knows where Dave Mustaine is from–Uranus.
So Nugent/Mustaine 12?
. Metallica's former guitarist staked out his paranoid, far-right credentials in an interview with Canadian chat show host George Stroumboulopoulos.
That's easy for you to say…
He'd be just like JFK. If JFK had a serious brainstem injury.
So post-Nov. 22, 1963?
Too soon!!!
Oh, wait, you're not talking about the book depository, are you.
I was going to put up a link to the Zapruder film…But even Baconz has his boundries.
They always cut off the last few seconds of that. Or so I found out when I saw some cheap documentary whose only interesting part was that it showed the entire footage — yikes.
Down and to the left, down and to the left, down and to the left……
BrainSTEM. Forensic analysis of the Zapruder film clearly shows that most of the damage was to the cerebral cortex, specifically in the frontal and occipital lobe areas. Sheesh.
They removed his brain. I think that counts as "brain stem injury"
I miss the old days when Presidents brains didn't go missing until AFTER they died.
Except of course Santorum wants the country to go back and to the RIGHT.
The article heads off with: "Guitarist who was once a vocal Democrat."
You know who else we're better off not having "vocalized" on our behalf?
Harold Ford Jr.?
Hmm.. I wonder what's changed since he was a "vocal Democrat"? Perhaps the way our current Democratic president looks?
The wiki entry indicates otherwise. He's quoted as saying John Kerry turned him off, and at that point, having voted for Clinton beforehand, he voted for Bush.
So he hates the French?
Presumably he was passed out on spray paint fumes for the 2000 contest.
The 112th Congress?
Monica Lewinksi?
Well, although "vocal" and "oral" are related terms, I don't think that they are interchangable here.
All teabaggers were once Democrats. As well as being gay, black, multibillionaire CEOs.
I am waiting to hear who is going to get the Juggalo vote. Then I will have one of those sodas they all love.
Heads or tails – Mustaine or Pat "Tutti Frutti" Boone, the flip sides of the same coin.
Maybe they could do a metal version of I almost lost my mind. Oh wait they have both lost their minds.
Scorpions or GTFO!
Europe/White Snake 2012!
White Lion/Great White 2016!!
Great White? That's incendiary.
Trip down memory lane. The first rock concert my eldest son attended solo was during their Love at First Sting – "Rock You Like a Hurricane" tour.
I just can't even address this many levels of stupid on a Monday morning.
But the thought of Ricky fucking an intern in the WH swimming pool as JFK is alleged to have done pretty much every day of his Presidency does make me chuckle. And then gag. And then feel sorry for the intern.
JFK & Rick Santorum alike? Why because they are both white,Male,Catholic,brunnet? One Minor difference JFK was boning Marylin Monroe,and Rick is just a Boner.
I just like that there's a heavy metal band named after the briefing binder that George C Scott was clutching in the War Room.
I wouldn't want to let Dave Mustaine see the Big Board, though.
Dave, please *do* go off to Never Never Land…
OT Another 5-4 decision by SCOTUS, no not that one, it's about strip searching new prisoners.
Mustaine still wonders why he got kicked out of Metallica.
The best thing about Dave Mustaine is imagining him telling his live-in stylist/girlfriend how she should cut and feather his bangs. (You know he puts some thought into it.)
HAHA
You don't know how right you are.
Um, Dave? When Quiet Riot instructed everyone to "Bang Your Head," I don't think they meant for you to take it so literally.
Jesus, I really hate stupid people. Plus the thought that I am going to start getting those "who really is Barack Obama" emails from my family makes me want to vomit.
peace sells, but who's buying?
When you listen to Megadeath backward you hear Rick Santorum saying "Bullshit" over and over.
I don't give a MegaCrap. Tell me what the kids on the short bus are saying about politics.
Actually Santorum is as cool as Megadeth ever were.
“I know he was born somewhere else than America.” READ MORE »
I thought you were pleading with him.
and totally itching for a new Inquisition
nobody expect a Santorum inquisition !!
“How come [Obama] was invisible until he became, uh, whatever he was in Illinois?” he asked.
Invisible? I thought he was blackety black black ebony panther blackety black, as I am reminded every morning by conservatives with their oogie-boogie/watermelon photos when I open the twatter machine.
He was Ralph Ellison invisible, Man.
Hey guys, remember this? Dave Choosing and Losing for MTV at the DNC in 1992:

And there you have it, again. Melt enough brain cells and you'll fit right in with the far right crazies.
Paging Tipper Gore! Paging Tipper Gore! This as evidence that certain types of music causes brain damage. Break out the parental warning stickers.
Megadick.
Mustaine's most famous lyrics start "This one summer? At band camp?"
Who is Barack Obama? He's your daddy. He's leader of the free world who bit the head off the snake of terrorism. Who is Mustang Whatshisface? Some 80s throw back who's been hanging around Steppenwolf at bowling alley gigs for the last 20 years. Fuck off.
Get a haircut and a real job, ya fuckin' hippie. You're a disgrace to your party.
I guess people can't find any record of him because they can't find him on the Googles.
Rick Santorum could be "a really cool president" "like JFK?" What the fucking fuck is he fucking talking about!? My nightmares of cosmic doom are more lucid than that!
Just think about how many brain cells Mustaine has killed over the years. I mean, when you get kicked out of *Metallica* for drinking too much, you know you must be a real out-of-control drunk.
How the hell is it that, almost 2 hours into this thread, the phrase
WHERE'S THE DETH CERTIFICATE?
is still available?
You're really slipping, fellow Wonketeers…
When you're fired from a young Metallica for being TOO MUCH of a DRUNK, you know you are a world-class drunk. I sure hope this little dust-up buries what little is left of this moron's career. There is always Spinal Tap 2.
Does Beavis still wear his Metallica t-shirt on the new show???

Dave Mustaine was never relevant.
His career really went in the toilet after he transferred to USC from Arkansas. Never played QB again.
Rebecca,
You seem to have certain definite facts about Santorum being smegma lipped. What is the source of this undoubtedly true, but probably private thing? Is it his breath?
Mustaine has always been a despicable human so this comes as no big shock!!! What a douche.
“How come [Obama] was invisible until he became, uh, whatever he was in Illinois?” he asked.
One hint: The answer is the same as "why were you in rehab?"
Of course Dave Mustaine would think Rick Ass Ooze would be a good president.
Mustaine is a Born Again Skull Fucked By Christianity type now.
About that big hair thing. The 80's called.
This was foreshadowed by the title of Megadeth's '89 (I think) album Peace Sells… But Who's Buying?. So, of course, the lyricist for such a piece of art would support the party of perpetual war.
Conversely, once Thursday (who released '03's War All the Time) finished adjusting their mascara, they announced their endorsement of the Democratic ticket.
Let me fix that for you, with the help of Bill Bailey
Black Sabbath would like a word.
FUCKING SLAYER OWNS, BITCHES!
And Norwegian death metal bands are pretty hardcore too.
There was a special on hair metal over the weekend on VH-1 Classic, which basically said if you were a guy who wanted to get laid in the 1980s, you went to hair metal concerts.
Which backs up my experiences, to be sure.
In other words, dude, you missed a sure thing.
I did alright. A lot better than now, unfortunately.
I don't get it. She is a single mother who supports people who demonize women like her? On the positive side, she likes the Oreo longhorns so I'm safe.
If by "hardcore" you mean "Nazi church-burning racists", then yes.
If by "hardcore" you mean "Nazi church-burning racists", then yes.
RON PAUL!111!!!
They also said, "The Jesus Lizard sucks, but they kick ass!"
I still think Beavis offered the most lucid criticism of both Prodigy & Korn, though. & I love Korn.
