There's more from the bizzaro world of the College Republicans this
week!
That's right - prepping the next generation of right-wing bigots and
future Clear Channel talk show hosts is a full-time job, and it takes
dedication, courage, and an inherent ability to slander the dead.
At a meet-the-candidate night last week, Mike Clement (representing
Republican congressional candidate Mike Bridgewater) was chatting with
the audience about Norm Coleman's Senate victory in Minnesota, when,
according to the Salt Lake Tribune, an audio tape of the meeting
picked up an unknown "Republican gadfly" saying, "We had to kill off
Wellstone to get it."
He was, of course, referring to Senator Paul Wellstone, who was
killed, along with most of his family, in a plane crash just before
the 2002 elections.
Nice, real nice.
I've got a quick tip actually for any College Republicans who might be
reading this - just mention in your thesis that Wellstone's plane
crash was Bill Clinton's fault, and you'll graduate summa ***** laude.
