I don’t know how this kind of thing doesn’t happen more often. An unknown guy with seemingly little education, and even less business running for political office, has won the South Carolina primary for Senate and will go up against the Republican incumbent whose name he needed to read off of a piece of paper during a separate interview. The guy has little or no idea what’s going on around him, cannot reasonably answer any questions asked of him and is just obviously way out of his league. From what I heard from the guy on Stern today, his league wouldn’t even be running against Pedro or Summer for high school class president. Get the reference Matt? Of course you do; It’s from Napoleon Dynamite… your favorite movie. Regardless It’s pretty embarrassing for the Democratic party in general and has to be really embarrassing saying you’re a Democrat from South Carolina right now. Prepare to be judged.

The guy was recently involuntary discharged from the Army, was recently arrested for showing porn to a college student, lives at home with his parents and is collecting unemployment which is prompting many to say he was set up by the Republicans who “gave” him the large amount of money needed to simply register to run for office. The whole situation is sad. You want to laugh at it but when something this important is a laughing matter, it’s definitely bittersweet.
