BUNCHA WHITE MEN SITTIN' 'ROUND TALKIN'
Larry Kudlow, Jim Cramer Chat Up Ted Nugent

There truly is nothing sadder than watching aging baby-boomers trying to prove they're still cool by interviewing, well, aging baby-boomer rock stars.

The latest evidence: CNBC's "America Now" hosts Lawrence Kudlow and James J. Cramer brought Ted Nugent onto their show this week.

Nugent, for those not aware, is, in Cramer's words, "a rock-and-roll legend, "[a] maverick," "the music world's most controversial and contradictory performer," "an outdoorsman," "an avid hunter," "a master marksman," "a writer," "a publisher," "a director of the National Rifle Association," "an anti-drug activist," and "an outspoken advocate for personal freedom."

Amazing. We thought Nugent was just another has-been.

The transcript is a painful read, almost an all-male version of "The View," with the guys chatting about such pressing issues as gun control, hunting, President Bush, Ozzy Osbourne, Janet Reno, and Nugent's new cookbook, Kill It and Grill It.

You've been warned.
