Billy Ray Cyrus got a chance to finally speak out on the Vanity Fair picture scandal this morning on the Today show. Talk about not being able to let go of something….

“I didn’t know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket,”� Billy Ray Cyrus [said]“I was surprised when I saw it … but, hey, that’s life. Stuff happens.”

Stuff happens? So that’s why you are bringing it up?

Cyrus said he realized nothing could be done about the shoot. “My dad always told me the more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks. so I was just, ‘OK, this happened. We got to deal with it.’”

“I’m sorry, if I offended somebody. That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot,” Cyrus [added]. “Miley and I just got caught up in this adventure of this dream and what we do for a living, and, again, we both love acting, we love making music, and we love each other. I’m her Dad, she�s my daughter. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”

You know that sounds really creepy…we love each other? It really sounds like he is talking about a lover. I’m not all hip to the father/daughter relationship but this one seems over the top! But Daddy wasn’t finished talking yet…he said that the controversies just come with the territory.

“For every action there�s an opposite and equal reaction. For every high, there�s a low. It’s just the way life is. She has a dream. She loves what she does for a living, she just loves it.”

Ah, I understand, Daddy loves it because then all he sees is dollar signs. I feel sorry for poor Miley.
