Run Frank Jr.! He's an anti-Bush countercultural libertarian misfit hippie. He'll win in a walk!

i know francis jr. he'll probably convince the local GOP that he's seen the political light with the death of his estranged dad, get appointed to run then publicly self-desrtruct, giving the dems the seat. could be fun.
and he's not a hippie; he's a punk. he used to beat up hippies.

Beating up people is lame. However, intentionally self-destructing for laughs is... Kinda awesome.

the gop family values are all on display here
a disgraced incumbent with two families worth of family values
a dead frontrunner patriarch and his drug addled prodigy are both on the ballot (maybe dad really did die from shame)
what's next ???
a candidate from Queens ???
or maybe a candidate from normal parents, that would be a change for the repuglitards
I'm here all week, try the veal

Um...? Was the death natural? This really seems too bizarre to be real.
