10th Congressional District Republicans

Dr. Paul Broun slung some mud at crazy Jim Whitehead in the Athens Banner on Tuesday, May 22, 2007.

The assumed Republican winner, if you ask Jim Whitehead, is Jim Whitehead. But, I predict you won't see Jim Whitehead making anymore public appearances between now and election day.

As Dr. Broun notes in the Athens Banner, Whitehead has a serious case of "Foot N Mouth."

This trench warfare started with Whitehead threatening to bomb UGA off the face of the planet. Whitehead issued a standard Republican "No Apology Apology" on April the 7th, calling the comment just a joke being taken out of context. Republicans are distancing themselves from the loony accusation made by Whitehead that left-wing political activists have a voter drive to sign up known al-Qaida terrorists.

So what is the Exit Strategy for the trench mouthed Whitehead?

Don't appear in public. Don't make any comments to the press. Have a Howard Stern type Spokes-model to raise votes. Pay someone else to clean up his image. But, the Doctor isn't having none of that.

Dr. Broun also diagnosed Whitehead with the classic two faced fiscal conservative label.

"Whitehead also talks about stopping the spending in Washington while he has voted to increase the state budget by 23.5 percent over the last three years. He also has voted to increase Georgia's bonded indebtedness by $1 billion. What is conservative about this?"

Sounds like the Republican politics as usual crowd Dr. Broun says he hates. Throw mud and then deny having dirty hands.

The clean choice would be James Marlow in this race from my cheap seat in the 9th District. Do a little research and see if you want another GOP mudslinging politician in Congress.
