| There was a time when I was really disappointed in you, Second District. You had offered us up Chris Minor as a Republican challenger to Rep. Joe Donnelly, and he was practically perfect in every way. He worked for Blackwater, but openly denied it. He launched a campaign website with his smiling, photo-shopped face in front of the Indiana Statehouse. He was great.
But then you took him away from us.
Since then, we've had only the on-again, off-again thing with Luke Puckett, and while he isn't a good candidate, he's nothin' special. (Of course, he did compare Donnelly to Fidel Castro a few months ago.)
But wait! There's hope!
Our prayers have been answered: Attorney Tony Zirkle said Wednesday he will seek the Republican nomination for the Congressional seat now occupied by Rep. Joe Donnelly.
Zirkle ran for that seat in 2006, but lost in the primary to incumbent Chris Chocola, R-Bristol.
Donnelly, D-Granger, beat Chocola in the general election later that year.
Zirkle's campaign gained attention when he proposed using the guillotine to punish sexual predators. He also shredded an original 1953 copy of Playboy Magazine featuring Marilyn Monroe, and recommended drafting deadbeat dads to patrol U.S. borders. (Emphasis mine. Craziness his.)
Well, at least we'll have fun through the primary process, eh? |
