Masked crusader takes politics on the road
Portland (Maine) Press Herald ^ | 10-30-04 | RYAN LENZ, Associated Press

He shows up at busy intersections and roads from Portland to Calais, wearing a George W. Bush mask and dancing a herky-jerky jig as he entertains motorists and draws attention to his anti-Republican message.

The dance is the "Wiener Boy Shuffle" (W is for Wiener), and the man behind the mask is none other than Tom Connolly, the lawyer who made Bush's drunken driving conviction public before the 2000 election.

Enjoying his masked anonymity, Connolly has chosen to take the road less traveled with a mix of guerrilla theater and political satire.

Maybe the EPA should start looking at what's in the water in the Northeast that makes people so blind.

They've got this mentally unstable lawyer dancing on bridges. We've got Belly Girl (somebody else has to post the picture.) I like our chances.

Also, ironically, the lawyer/probate judge who received the leak, and distributed it to the press, William Childs, who recently resigned as probate judge, today crossed party lines and endorsed a REPUBLICAN for Probate Judge!

Childs crosses party lines, endorses McRae

Democrat William Childs, who until Wednesday was Cumberland County's judge of probate, endorsed Republican Teri McRae Friday in her bid to unseat incumbent Register of Probate Alfred Piombino. Childs said Piombino's management style is responsible for low morale and high employee turnover in the probate office. As a result he decided to cross party lines and endorse a Republican candidate for the first time in his life.

Maine with 2 whoping electoral votes split by different districts continues to be as politically irrelevant as ever.

I thought every state had a minimum of three electoral votes.

On Brit's program it was suggested that, hopefully, it would rain over the whole east on Tuesday! Good for the GOP!
