Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate in NY-23, appeared today on the Glenn Beck show -- and declared that Beck is a "mentor" of his, and that he'll stay in touch with Beck if he's elected:
HOFFMAN: I have good mentors here.
GLENN: Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Are they mentors that will show -
HOFFMAN: I'm talking about you, Glenn.
GLENN: Oh, okay. I was going to say all right, as long as they are standing out from the shadows. [...]
HOFFMAN: No. Yeah, well, I'm going to keep in touch with people like you so I don't get infected with that disease.

Sure, the US is chock full of brain-dead idiots. So is Canada, but our brain-dead idiots dont seem to advance in politics and business quite as well as American BDIs.

Really now. So, the whackiest whack-job on the whole cuckoo train is going to guide you if you win a seat in the U.S. Congress?

Doug is a rabid conservative Christian
Glenn is a rabid Mormon.
How does Doug reconcile that?

They both hate 99% of the same stuff, even if that 1% they disagree on is their religion

They don't. Reconciling is akin to compromising...We both know their thoughts on that.

Hoffman will be doing commercials for Crest Whitestrips any day now.
Remember, Doug: "Many people are skeptical about the effects of teeth whitening, but the truth is that whitening with Crest Whitestrips teeth whitening systems is enamel safe."

I hate to say it, but that picture made me wonder if he was aware that white teeth are something anyone can have these days. No need to flash those pearly yellows anymore.

Hoffman should have checked with the teeth-whitening folks.

All right, I really hope this guy does win now. It'll spell the end of the Republican party as we know it. I almost think the Democrat ought to drop out, as well. They want to get a Beck wing of the party going, let's let them have it.

If he is not going with the teeth whitening, at least he could have kept his mouth shut during the photo shoot and not tried to pretend he has a sense of humor. What a frikkin goober.

Wow what pinhead to go on the Beck show and kiss his ass! Does it get any more stupid than that??? WTF is wrong with these people who cannot see/completely share the gross dishonesty that the Becks of the world peddle to the dumbshits.
Oh and hey, the guy looks like he could put on an old Nazi uniform and be pretty comfortable pretty quick.
Just sayin.
