… it’s desperate and scandal-ravaged Republican Frank Cotton!
I’m not making that terrific line up, folks. It was announced today that the tenacious governor will appear next week on the comedy show that has just exploded this season with political appearances. In a press statement released on Sunday, Cotton campaign manager Gary Orp referred to the candidate as “easily the funnest and funniest among the lot of them.”
But hear me out as I tell you why this is a dangerous move.
Cotton has been doing all he can to avoid mention of the situation involving his son. There is growing evidence that Calvin Cotton pilfered his dead wife from a cemetery and then made off with the body four years ago.
Think the comics at SNL will use restraint and ignore that? Me neither. It’s getting very close to Halloween, and if you can swipe a grisly plot like that from real world politics, that’s as tempting to a comedy team as aftershave is to an alcoholic.
According to the release: “Governor Cotton has always been a fan of SNL and is intimately familiar with their brand of comedy. Those of us who have worked with him for years know that he is up to the task. The millions of fans of the show might find themselves astounded by the depths of Frank Cotton’s talents.”
We already know his talent for evasion and the quickness of his anger. Let’s see how the good governor reacts when Tina Fey is carried before him in a grim portrayal of the dead and stolen Bethany Cotton.

In a move I will describe only as decidedly weird, Gov. Frank Cotton today has come forward with an offer to pay Joe the Plumber’s back taxes.
The move is a transparent one. Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher, the plumber who questioned Obama about taxes in Holland, Ohio, turns out to owe back taxes and not hold a license for his plumbing work, according to news reports. He has been ripped apart by the media since becoming the focal point of the debate between John McCain and Barack Obama.
On Tuesday, Gov. Cotton said this: “Mr. Wurzelbacher has been brutalized by the candidates as many have been brutalized since this race began. I just feel we need to start taking care of each other when we can instead of sacrificing our fellow Americans to this savage run to the White House.”
As a political ploy, it’s not a bad one. McCain and Obama selfish and mean, it seems to say. Frank Cotton, generous and giving.
But there are just three weeks to go, Frank. I suggest you might need something more than a wrench man on your side to pull this one off.

The man is just lucky enough, and crafty enough to be our next president. Doesn’t that just scare the hell out of you?

I swear I’m not jumping out on a new political limb here, people. It’s just that the news lately is too damn mind-blowing to pass up. Here is another fine demonstration of what the American voter feels is important as we wind down the weeks to new leadership. It’s ironic that they use a monkey to express their views on race. It’s also a fine representation of the utter reluctance to evolve. Do you get the feeling that the shelf life of the United States is growing skimpier by the day? No? God bless your optimism, you little monkey.
(PHILADELPHIA) As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead…
After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.
