Charlie Sheen Has Some Choice Words For The 'Duck Dynasty' Guy

By now, we're all aware of 'Duck Dynasty' star and terrible human being Phil Robertson's comments about gay people and civil rights. In the ensuing media melee, we have had people of varying degrees of fame and influence—from Stephen Colbert to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to Bristol Palin—give their two cents on Robertson's opinions.
Alas, no response can come close to what Charlie Sheen wrote on Twitter today. His poetic missive to Robertson is full of memorable quotes and open threats to the Louisiana duck call magnate. Sheen's full, unedited response is below:
hey Mallard brained Phil Robertso! you have offended and hurt so many dear friends of mine, who DO NOT have the voice or the outreach that I do. well news flash shower-dodger, I will speak loudly and clearly for ALL of them. so, just when your desperately sub evolved ass thought the pressure was off, you are now in the crosshairs of a MaSheen style media beat down. (I'll try to keep the big words to a minimum as not to confuse you) your statements were and are
abhorrently and
mendaciously unforgivable.
the idea that you have a job
outside of dirt-clod stacking
is a miracle.
the only 'Dynasty' you are attached to might be the
re-runs of that dated show.
the only thing you should ever be in charge of building is a hole in the ground the exact size of your head.
perhaps your beard would fit as well if you plucked out the
army of scabies and
bull weevils sequestered deep in it's sarcophagus of dander and weasel pelts.
shame on you.
you're the only surviving
brain donor I've ever known.
when the gators and Egrets
kick you out of their
hovel,
you need to make serious amends to those you have
radically offended.
on the eight day
when I was whittling my cosmic banjo,
I'm pretty sure YOU were the scattered dross I then used to light a fire and
locate the nearest
Andy Gump.
repulsed by you;
c sheen
hash tag;
Duck; that was me.
