Because I’m laughing too hard….
Let me make one correction–this isn’t rent a Senator, this is rent a candidate.
Alan Keyes, the prospective GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate, arrived 13 minutes late for his bizarre little rally on Wednesday–and by little we mean about 12 supporters and 24 media hounds–outside the Union League Club in downtown Chicago. Perhaps the Maryland resident, a two-time loser for president and two-time loser for the U.S. Senate in that state, had trouble finding the Loop on his map.
But really, doesn’t this just show the IL GOP’s deep commitment to Illinois tourism?
If you look over in the comments on Jeff’s blog (randomactofkindness), you’ll someone googled an article from 1998 noting that Keyes was trying to run for Senate from NY as a Libertarian.
