Whiskey and car keys for Smack campaign

"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." - P.J. O'Rourke

To anyone who has worked with elected officials, the truth of P.J. O'Rourke's statement is undeniable. Fortunately for journalists, the "whiskey and car keys" analogy now carries over to political campaigns thanks to the First Amendment.

Just about anyone can run for office. From the success of the "steak knife" tag we also see that even when lacking any semblance of common sense, just about anyone can serve.

And we can call them on it when they do.

The newest addition to the "sub 100" I.Q. club are GOP congressional candidate James Smack, his "campaign manager" Wayne Terhune, and his "communications director" Jennifer Terhune.

No idea what Jennifer does, but Wayne Terhune is really a make-believe campaign manager who is a dentist by trade. So far, all e-mails from the campaign have come from an e-mail domain of "usekjvonly.com." Typing in the address takes you to a website that says front and center that "The King James Version Bible is the only true Word of God. If you want to get to Heaven, you must read it every day and do what it says."

I won't even get into the obvious reasons that this is probably not the best place to use when sending out official campaign e-mail. I think the more obvious flaw is that Dr. and Ms. Terhune seemingly haven't discovered gmail yet.

It's free. It's hip. You can send really big files. And you don't lose votes for telling people that they're going to hell.

So, Wally, you ask, what did the latest press release actually say?

No...Free thinkers ARE welcome here. It is the Republican Party of most every state and the RNC that disallows free thinkers. They want mindless drones who will support whatever chump is put out there.

'Just remember to vote R'...
