There's more from the bizzaro world of the College Republicans this week!
That's right - prepping the next generation of right-wing bigots and future Clear Channel talk show hosts is a full-time job, and it takes dedication, courage, and an inherent ability to slander the dead.
At a meet-the-candidate night last week, Mike Clement (representing Republican congressional candidate Mike Bridgewater) was chatting with the audience about Norm Coleman's Senate victory in Minnesota, when, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, an audio tape of the meeting picked up an unknown "Republican gadfly" saying, "We had to kill off Wellstone to get it."
He was, of course, referring to Senator Paul Wellstone, who was killed, along with most of his family, in a plane crash just before the 2002 elections.
Nice, real nice.
I've got a quick tip actually for any College Republicans who might be reading this - just mention in your thesis that Wellstone's plane crash was Bill Clinton's fault, and you'll graduate summa cum laude.
