There are still a few hours to go until we reach the 2012 horizon, so there is still plenty of time for some antics from the Montana Republicans running for Governor in the GOP Primary. They would have to register high on the wackjob scale, however, to top this.
Suffice it to say, it’s been a pretty embarrassing year for Republicans Neil Livingstone and Ryan Zinke. They ran out of funds, were caught spending campaign dollars in Peru, and the giant bus emblazoned with their melons remains mostly parked. However, they have managed to squeeze this last humiliation in before the New Year.
This is certainly the weirdest holiday card I’ve ever seen from…well…anyone. What says “Merry Christmas” less than Livingstone and Zinke in a sleigh with Zinke brandishing a scope sighted M-16, a dead wolf on the front of the sleigh, drone wings, hidden pistols, and an unintentional homage to Obama–a crossed out face of Osama bin Laden. And don’t forget the bag of extractive-industry-only jobs and the PhD certificates.
This is one oddball message to wrap up into a Christmas card and send the electorate. Presumably, the “strategy” behind this is to show that these guys ARE TOO! nutty enough to compete with Drew Turiano and Chuck Baldwin.
The card can be seen at theMontana Cowgirl Blog, where this diary is cross posted.
