So we all remember Tonya Harding, the white trash ice skater who kneecapped her opponent and whose career has gone the way of the mullet? Ah, yes! Well, every once in a while she pops up in the news saying something demented, and this time it was about President Obama. Here’s what she had to say to his referencing her in one of his electoral speeches IN 2007. Yes, I am also wondering how she somehow missed this for TWO YEARS, but ours is not to question The Harding. Ours is just to watch and learn:
“He has this country to think about, he has the candidacy to think about, he has the war to think about, and he has to bring me up? What the hell is important in this world today?” she responded.
“But guess what, I get jobs because he used my name on national television, because people forgive who Tonya Harding is. All publicity is good publicity.”
“It sounds really harsh, it sounds like I’m being a backwoods hicks girl, but you know what, that is who I am,” she said. “If you like me, great. If you don’t like me, that’s okay, that’s your opinion. But I betcha, you’ll still pay money to come and see me.”
Here’s the video – be careful, don’t get sucked in by the Bangs of Fury!
