Yup, Henley Sues DeVore

Chuck DeVore, assemblyman from Irvine, has been right all along. He predicted that Eagles founder Don Henley would sue him for using "The Boys of Summer" in an anti-Obama parody video. He predicted that this would become a national story. This weekend, CNN validated the guy by breaking the news that Don Henley filed a suit against DeVore in federal court.

DeVore's got a comeback post on Big Hollywood, with the usual giggling about the fact that Henley's a flaming liberal and that DeVore thinks he's on solid legal footing. On DeVore's website, there's a teaser that refers to Henley as a "famed songmeister." Hmmmm.

Anyone want to make a bet about how long it'll be before Maureen Dowd mentions this whole brouhaha in one of her chirpy columns?

Back in the 1980's, Mojo Nixon wrote and performed a song entitled "Don Henley Must Die" and Henley only laughed that off. It seems that because the culprit this time is a Republican, the joke's not so funny.

But the Eagles still suck.

This might be the funniest comment I've ever read.

Maybe we need to come up with a new theme song for Chuckie?

How about the theme from "Sesame Street" since DeVore resembles Big Bird?

Chuck DeVore vs. Barbara Boxer = re-election win for Boxer.

Devore? He needs to go back to Chapman College and practice his epithets in front of the student crowd. Maybe he could dressup in costume and be the greeter in Laguna Beach again. The second coming. Chuckie the greeter in front of the Pottery Schack on PCH in Laguna

Schwarzenegger Centrist Republican says:

In the state capital, on the Assembly side, the Reep caucus has the following: DeVore, Harkey, Harma, Silva, and Hollingsworth. These are all dumber than stones on a hillside. Harkey is the worst. With DeVore, people roll their eyes.

Who remembers Boxer's last opponent? He will be joined by DeVore.

Such a “high-schoolish” attempt to get free press! Chuck needs an adult to keep him in line. Did dad not teach you -Chuck- not to steal from others? Perhaps Mr. Henley can “ground” you!

Sadly, I have to agree. Boxer has proven herself to be part of the problem with Cali politics, and has offered NO solution.
