GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) -- Montana's Libertarian candidate for Senate has turned blue from drinking a silver solution that he believed would protect him from disease.
Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college instructor, said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics.
He made his own concoction by electrically charging a couple of silver wires in a glass of water.
His skin began turning blue-gray a year ago...
...He does not take the supplement any longer, but the skin condition, called argyria, is permanent....

This dingbat got 10,000 votes in Montana? I'm guessing that 90% of those votes were protest votes against Burns, not for Jones.

Protest voting in an election is a pathetic, foolish thing to do, in my opinion. The only punshment that results from it is punishment of the electorate.

Good morning.
"Can you do a side by side with Papa Smurf?"
How about the Blue Meanies, from Yellow Submarine.
"Are you Bluish? You don't look Bluish?"
Seriously, what possessed anyone, especially anyone from Montana, to vote for a blue man?

Marc Racicot would have been a MUCH better (R) candidate. He was wonderful during the Recount.

Good morning.
Judging by the picture, The Blue Meanies were clearly DemocRATs, not Libertarians.

Because the GOP diehards need a scapegoat because their POS RINOs crashed and burned on Tuesday.Burns has an ACU rating of 91. Higher than Santorum.

You guys are crazy if you think this nutbird took votes away from anyone but Democrats.
