The guitarist is no stranger when it comes to talking about issues, particularly conservative ones, as an advocate for hunting and the right to bear arms. (He is on the National Rifle Association's board of directors and recorded a song called 'I Am the NRA'). Last year Nugent made news with his controversial and very critical remarks about Democratic senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton while holding two rifles.
On his blog, Bourdain says that it was Nugent who approached him about doing something together on television. He recounts a experience from his visit to Nugent's ranch when got a text message invite from chef Mario Batali for drinks. "I texted back," Bourdain writes, "that I regretted being unable to join him as I was currently unloading a belt-fed M-60 machine gun at Ted Nugent's place. His totally unsurprised response was 'Of course you are.'"

I will never watch Anthony Bourdain again. What does a overweight person have to do with the safety of others????. A fat tax? Better to have a A** Tax for A**holes. There are more of those. Start with the two of them. [Sharon at 8-04-2008]I agree with Ted about this growing problem. Obese people do need to take a step back and be accountable for what they put in their mouths. They can't get mad when businesses can't accomodate them because they are too big. What really makes me sick is when I see obese kids. Chiildren should not by all means be obese... whatever happened to good old fashioned exercise? When people go out there and feast on fattening foods, all you are doing is slowly killing yourself. Ever heard of diabetes, cancer, and heart attacks? Obesity is a contributing factor for all these diseases... [cagman50 at 8-05-2008]
I agree Sharon. Nugent, I gotta admit makes me laugh at the absurdity of someone that ugly talking about the lack of visual appeal with overweight people. I'm not that into how people look normally, I like people, all kinds of 'em! And his comment about them being a drain n their families... please! I'd rather marry a fat guy with a heart then a thin guy with a mouth any day of the week, and I'll bet old Ted's family (minus his money)would too. They've gotta be tired of his rants. Your old and cranky Ted, lighten up. [Auburnember at 8-05-2008]
