Would You Elect This Person?
November 7, 2012 § 4 Comments
Let me describe a hypothetical candidate for Congress. Then, you tell me if you’d vote for him/her.
- Incumbent
- Absent from office since June 2012 with no return date known (initially, his whereabouts were unknown to the public he purported to zealously represent as a lawmaker).
- Diagnosed this year with “mood disorder” and bipolar disorder.
- Something about a Peruvian hostess.
- Implicated in the Senate-seat-selling scandal of Rod Blagojevich.
- Currently the subject of a Congressional Ethics Investigation.
- Previously implicated in an FBI investigation.
- Currently the subject of an FBI criminal investigation.
- Previously named one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress by liberal group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
So, would you?
If you would, you would get-along just peachy with 60% of voters in the Second Congressional District of Illinois.
Dude. I thought the video above was a campaign ad for the candidate you were talking about. Took me 43 seconds to figure out it was an ad for UPS.
Who is this candidate and WHY IS THERE A FREAKIN’ AD ON YOUR BLOG?
I had no idea that ads were appearing on the blog. I just use the free WordPress service.
Fixed.
Hey, your “hypothetical candidate” sounds just like this guy we’ve got in Chicago! Oh, I see what you were doing there…
