Michigan native Ted Nugent -- aka The Motor City Madman -- isn't what you call an intellectual giant. He says far more ignorant things than the average human.
The latest: Fox 2 reports that while campaigning for the Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott down in Texas, where he now resides, Nugent said this:
"I left Detroit because the liberal Democrats engineered the absolute suicide of this fantastic city with their horrific anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-independence agenda."
He went on to say:
"Today, Detroit is an embarrassment. It is a cesspool. There is a declaration of dependence in Detroit. "
Abbot, the state's attorney general, is likely to run against Democratic candidate Wendy Davis in the general election.
He also took a shot at former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
"We had a Wendy Davis in Detroit. We had a Wendy Davis in Michigan. Her name was Jennifer Granholm. And today, Detroit is an embarrassment. It is a cesspool. There is a declaration of dependence in Detroit."
