Whether sports or politics, if you get beat and it was fair and square, you graciously concede and congratulate the winning team, player or candidate.
And..
“Did I witness those signatures…. Um…. SQUIRREL!”
Apparently, however, defeated Republican U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth and independent Gordon Howie skipped that lesson in campaign school.
Instead, Howie says on his blog that Sen. Mike Rounds, who received over 55 percent of the vote in the Republican primary against four other opponents and then over 50 percent of the vote in the general election against three other candidates, somehow, allegedly, intimidated voters and suppressed the vote in the primary.
Never mind the election was nearly a year ago and this is the first anyone has heard of it.
And…
In the meantime, while the Bosworth trial gets started this week in Pierre, this stunt is the equivalent of yelling “Squirrel!” at your dog. It gets their attention and drives them a little bit crazy.
7 thoughts on “Epp: Howie & Bosworth yelling squirrel”
yipee. The circus is in town! It’s interesting howies interest in this. Is it an effort to tap into the fundraising direct connect con or has he been blinded by the good doctors plight? Grudznick? Your thoughts.
Mr. Howie is a scumbag lying cheat who doesn’t pay his taxes.
Dr. Bos is innocent until proven guilty. Then she’s probably a very naughty girl.
After just becoming dumber and dumber this situation now is getting weird. And that gray area we all give someone trying to do the right thing has really turned into a black hole.
I agree. What once was laughable for a brief moment, has become increasingly embarrassing, bizarre and sad.
“I like that. Yelling squirrel to your dog. What an appropriate and clever rural colloquialism. Meaning – to fire up someone unnecessarily for your own personal benefit. By the way, when’s Obama coming for the guns, anyway. He’s runnin’ out of time.” ps … I also like the clever saying, “Dog whistle politics.” It unmasks the right wing capitulism, “I’m not rascist, BUT ….”
I apologize … the above was posted by me and erroneously was credited to anonymous.
Bosworth is guilty of perjury.
Someone pointed out though, that when Steve Hickey’s petitions (and others?) were thrown out a couple years ago, why wasn’t he charged like Bosworth?
