Omaha Steve's first campaign article will run Wednesday, first endorsment too!

[franksolich]

I agree.  The red shirt and black tie is not very politically savvy either.

Morons running that campaign.

I'm sure somewhere along the line the big guy's going to play the "Native American" act, to garner some sympathy votes, for being part of an oppressed minority.

Even though he's only 1/64 Native American, he's played that line before, for the primitives.

Never talking about the other 63/64ths of him.

Well, that photograph makes him look like he really is, Polish or Irish, take your pick.

I suspect about the only prejudice he's ever encountered in his life has been having to endure "dumb Polack" or "crooked Mick" jokes.

I don't know why he doesn't use this one or this one.

The voters in Bellevue would be stepping over each other to get to the voting booth.

Like I said before. He's not MENSA material.

Dart board, no, but I think I'll laminate a few copies to use in the garden this spring.

So.....the neighbor was over about 7:30 this morning, and I mentioned that the big guy had posted his picture.  The neighbor doesn't do much with the internet (despite his M.S. in mathematics), but he knows all about my pal Omaha Steve.

He asked to see it, and I showed him.  The following ensued:

neighbor: But he doesn't look Indian.
franksolich: No, I never said he looked Native American; I said he's got a few drops of it in his blood, and because he's alleged himself to be an oppressed minority before, I'm sure he's going to bring up those long-ago distant Native American roots during his campaign, so as to get some sympathy votes for being an oppressed minority.
neighbor: Well, that's fudged up then; he should've had a different picture taken.
franksolich: Different in what way?
neighbor:Well, a feather headress and some buckskin on him would help--otherwise he looks just like any old Paddy O'Brien or Stan Lewandowski.

I told everybody so.

The black suit with a red shirt and black tie is NOT Irish, or is not Boston Irish.   It's red, white and blue here baby (white shirt, red tie  - in some variation, is a power suit) - and I don't know a politician worth his/her salt that doesn't wear a flag pin somewhere on their suit.   

This guy is a putz, and looks like a putz.   No nationality affiliation necessary.... anecdotally speaking of course.....

I got no problems with the black and red--in fact, it looks rather spiffy to me, that combination of colors on the big guy.

I do however have a problem with that his neck overlaps his collar, and his chin melts into his neck, which is not healthy fat.  He needs to use his taxpayer-paid medical insurance to see a cardiologist to learn what that means, and then drop some poundage.  Flaccid fat is not good.  Fat is not good, period, but flaccid fat is more perilous than just plain fat. 

[Airwolf]

As frank can attest, I'm wondering if the color choice isn't some kind of way of showing the voters he's a Husker fan. Normally you wear red and white for that or all red. A few however do wear black and red for the Blackshirt defense side of the team.. Then again OmahaSteve probably has the fashion sense of a Ringling Brothers circus clown.

Naah . . . he's got the fashion sense of an unwashed hippie who's had many bong hits.

In other words, the Occupoopers.

The Adbot here is trying to get me to buy a tuxedo.  Could it be that the bot saw Steve in that bad tux?

Either that or it saw Sacha Baron Cohen dump that urnfull of ashes on Ryan Seacrest last night . . .

But I do think my fellow Nebraskan looks rather good in black and dark red.

It does however certainly diminish his Native American-ness.

Probably makes his ass look fat, too.

Any color combination, good or bad, would do that.

I swear, that one evening I was in mortal terror that the big guy might slip, and fall on me, in which case the ambulance would have to pick me up with a spatula, and deliver me to the mortuary on a cookie-sheet.

I don't think that it would be the disaster that you imagine. After all, he's full of nothing but hot air.

I can see the Omaha World Herald headline now.
"Sandhills gentleman borked by hot-air buffon."

FLAME ON!

Or should it be "Flame out!" to put it more aptly?

The end of this who schpiel is going to be absolutely delicous.

Holy shit--give that guy a huge hat with a feather in it and he'd be a really bad pimp.

Welcome back to the 70's, kids!

OS is making certain that DU in inexorably connected to his campaign, good for you !

[GOBUCKS]

Statistically, morbid obesity has a good chance of killing the avowed socialist Steve Dawes fairly soon.

His massive fat, aggravated by the indolence that results from his seat on the disability gravy train, puts him at the head of the line for sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, and a host of other grim events.

He's gained an enormous amount of weight since his photo with the ditch witch, due to a combination of the Great Bush Prosperity, and his life of leisure on the taxpayers' tab.

Of course, we wish no ill fortune on the Weeper.

But you gotta admit, it'd be interesting to read the DUmp reaction.

Another DUmpmonkey sent to his just reward by coach.

Poor, addled grasswire Judy would flip out like an elderly, confused ninja.

[AllosaursRus]

The county does now...

and Steve. You might want to shave the neck before you run...and the beard looks way too sparse. Either grow it in or shave it. Like this it makes you look sinester.

Good grief! At least trim the pubic hair on yer face Stevie! Ya look like an obese degenerate with a tie!

Anyone able to hack his site and insert those pics? Any affiliation shown with the Ditch BItch would surely sink his chances with Nebraskans! I don't even know a DemonRat that didn't get sick and tired of that idiot!

At least I can post it here for DUmmies to see!
