It's getting crazy around here in the CA-04! Poor John Doolittle. I think he must be suffering the kind of psychotic break caused when unprocessed hidden guilt runs into the concrete wall of public scrutiny. That and the looming threat of an indictment with his name on it sitting on some DOJ staffer's desk. Doolittle is starting to see things, as
Greg Sargent says at TPM Café: Nazis, Child Rapists, and Gay Boy Scouts, oh my!
I've lived in this district for forty years. I cannot remember ever having a contested congressional election here, so it's not surprising that the less creative among us (cough Rahm Emanuel cough) could not see what a brilliant and timely candidate is Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is the kind of decent, straight-arrow, I'm-here-to-serve guy that must drive a sleaze like Doolittle crazy. As evidenced by that over-the-top insane mailer in the Sargent story.
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Nate from Hawaii has two video interviews up, one with
Paul Hackett who came out to campaign for Charlie Brown this weekend. Wow, Paul Hackett has real star quality about him -- he's funny, sexy, happy, and full of can-do energy. The kind of guy whose persona demonstrates how cool it is to be a Democrat. Nate has a video interview with
Charlie Brown himself at his own site,
Get In Their Face. I sound like a robocall that won't go away here, but
omigod I love Charlie Brown and hope hope hope he wins tomorrow!
I predict the Democrats are going to take both the House and the Senate tomorrow. I don't know if Charlie Brown will be a member of the next Congress, but I do know this: If he is elected, it will mean there is a level of insanity that even some Republicans are not willing to tolerate. When the pre-indicted, pervert-enabling, sex slavery ignoring John Doolittle is thrown out, he can take his sick, small mind off to explore new frontiers in exploitation -- but not on the public payroll.
