Needs more flag.
Virginia goobernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli has been trying to keep some distance between himself and crazy crackpot lieutenant governor nominee E.W. Jackson. Jackson's not making that easy, though; now he's even giving Ken Cuccinelli all the credit for
coming up with the idea in the first place!
“He said essentially: I think you’d make a good candidate for lieutenant governor. Have you thought about it?” said Jackson, recalling that Cuccinelli had not yet decided to run for governor. “I do remember him suggesting that if it worked out . . . he would be proud to have me as a running mate.”
Hilariously, Cuccinelli's camp is disputing the claim. Oh my God, people, it's not our fault!
“Ken asked why the Senate and if he ever thought to run for anything else — like maybe Lieutenant Governor? E.W. may have misconstrued that as a direct ask,” [Cuccinelli spokesperson Anna Nix] wrote in an e-mail.
I don't know what's funnier, the attempt by Jackson to bear hug his running mate or the stiff-arming he got in response. I wonder if we'll be seeing more estranged duos like this as the Republican Party reaches peak crackpot.
