I think it has been quite a while, but at some point in the past I know I have told the story about the Republican candidate for the legislature out in Rapid City who had an odd companion for door-to-door.
This legislative candidate would go door-to-door with a parrot on her shoulder as she met voters. That’s right. Knocking on the door, introducing herself, asking for their vote and the parrot was there as a conversational trigger.
Her fellow House Candidate in the district would relate these stories as kind of a WTF moment as related to him by voters left wondering whether this was a serious candidate when he would go door-to-door.
Needless to say, he handily won election. While parrot gal did not.
Why do I bring this up? I am reminded of it by one of the things I’m seeing from a candidate on social media:
Another instance when we might be better off considering the flightless bird as a candidate, versus the fool using it to campaign.
D3 got rid of this clown once, let’s not let him get to Pierre again. District 3 you can do better.
We thought the Aberdeen area had reached rock bottom with Kayleb Weiss, Al Novstrup and Carl Perry but then Brandei Schaefbuer was elected due to low voter turnout.
With costs of living soaring, the economy tanking, tariffs and war of choice going on which could escalate, the last thing we need is to send another rock bottom team back to Pierre. Lord Help Us!
When Kayleb comes to our door we will politely thank him for making himself useful for once by bringing dinner for many D3 struggling families and send him on his way.
There is a butcher lined up to process that flightless bird. That tasty and healthy poultry or ratite will help feed a number of families once donated to local food shelves. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Weiss!
Districts 3, 4, and 5 are the laughing stock of the state.
Why am I thinking about insurance?
He needs to keep a handle on him too:

I’ll chalk it up to him making fun of himself for the fact that his emu got loose. If that’s the case, it’s funny and I give him props for self-deprecating. But if he’s truly bringing along a freakin’ emu door to door…well…that’s just dumb.
This political stunt appears to be the creation of fellow Wackadoodledoeden Travis Schaunaman over at his social media business. It’s lame.
Travis may be his campaign manager too.
He is…at least running his social media. Travis is a media whore and we did Aberdeen a diservice when we chose him over Mayor Levsen
Notice the Aberdeen community pages were quick call out Travis and Kaleb for it being a dud. A growing number of area residents are getting sick of these weirdos in office.
