It’s one thing to elect Schock locally, and to the state legislature – we all knew he couldn’t do too much damage (though I didn’t vote for him). But he’s going to be way out of his league in DC. Look at the kind of ideas he’s already pitched should he become our Representative in DC – they either echo the current Bush disasters or they’re worse – sending nuclear weapons to Taiwan?! Oh brilliant! Let’s just give every little country with proximity to our enemies the power to contaminate the entire planet and kill off humanity.

Anyone want to make pledges to send me into the lions den?

On the other hand, Callahan might be able to exploit the Bush connection somehow. I’ll bet it at least crossed the minds of Schock’s handlers that being seen with Bush might be a gamble.
