According to the Jackson Free Press, It's been confirmed that Arlen has also decided to "keep it real" in addition to joining the Democratic Party!
In a hastily organized press conference Arlen read the following statement:
"My life had got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater. Times is rough and tough like leather," said the senior senator of his 29-year membership with the GOP. "I figured out I went the wrong route. So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out."
During the presser, The ghost of Ole' Dirty Bastard voiced his approval:
"It's hard to argue with 29 years of Senate experience," said the ghost of Ol' Dirty Bastard. "In this economy, even a multi-platinum, grammy-nominated super group needs as much help as possible."
I can't wait for Arlen to get up there and rock the mic. It going to be the Shiznic for Shizzle ma' nizzle.
