Wingnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

 

The 81-year-old American pop singer and unabashed Christmas sweater enthusiast Andy Williams recently said in a interview that President Obama is "following Marxist theory" and wants to turn the US into a "socialist country".

"Don't like him at all," he said, "I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist.

"Obama is following Marxist theory. He's taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail." Telegraph, Oliver Willis.

although a lifelong Republican, Williams was a friend of the Kennedy family and campaigned for Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. He was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated.

As a teenager Andy Williams dubbed some of the high notes in the song "How Little We Know" sung by Lauren Bacall in the film To Have and Have Not.

I probably wouldn't even remember who the heck Andy Williams is today, except for the fact that he was once married to the delightful Claudine Longet [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], who shot her boyfriend while still married to Andy Williams. I am beginning to think that it is entirely possible that she shot the wrong guy...

Here is an unreleased song about Claudine Longet by the The Rolling Stones.
