No, This Isn't A Link To The Onion *UPDATE


Ok, we all know that the average Republican politician is scum, putting profit in front of morality every single time.

But, damn! The following headline is 100% accurate, and goes to a real article, not a satirical site.

GOP Senate hopeful got rich diverting corpsemeat from burn victims to enlarge penises



Go ahead, you know you want to, I'll wait here.

* UPDATE -
Here is an ad, made by his Republican primary opponent in the 2002 Governor race. And it's all true!!!!!

h/t to Anne for the video clip.

Daily Kos has an amusing movie poster, as well as an ad from his 2002 campaign. Apparently the ad flopped because no one believed that such outrageous charges could be true.

Oh, and don't miss the fact that Kirby invested in the company after it came to light that the skin was being diverted from burn treatment to plastic surgery. Yeah, he's a charmer, that one.

Wow.

Indeed. This and the guy who cited as his qualifications for his run for Congress:

"Not only was I football player, but I also was in social studies class, and I have a passion for how this country works."

Did I mention he's never voted? Ever?

More on his thoroughly detailed (*ahem*) platform here.

You really can't make this stuff up.
