Obama's Coattails
Look what found its way into the Michigan House of Representatives on Obama's coat tails:

...though I suspect that Detroit is one of the few places where something like this could happen.

Who better to represent Grosse Pointe? Why do you hate Santa Claus?

Nearly 24 hours, and that is the most negative spin you could come up with. You're slipping, Whell.

He's a small time operator compared to the thieves on Wall St.
Nice place to live, BTW, Whell.

Saw this earlier today. The guy looks like a real piece of work. He might have attended law school, but he sure isn't a lawyer. Not in Michigan at least. I imagine his character and fitness application is still pending.
His battle isn't over. The State House might not seat him. Even if he gets seated the State Senate can expel him by 2/3 vote.
Good grief.

Yes, I understand Obama actively campaigned for him.
I see they kept you on the payroll after their defeat. I suppose they thought a nasty piece of work like you would be difficult to replace.

Detriot is one of those special places.
We had Gus Hall, President of the CPUSA, (Communist Party), run for Mayor in Yougstown several times. He nearly won in 1937. He also ran for POTUS four times on the Communist ticket, never getting more than 22,000 votes.
Gus also had an extensive criminal record.
Regards,
Dave

So the Republicans have their Issa so why can't we have one too?
