Alabama Businessman Is The Thomas Paine Of Yahoo Ideas


Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James set himself a pretty high bar when he released his previous campaign ad "We ain't gonna be speakin' no Mexican round here, y'all get me?" This spot about registered sex offenders-whom James rightly points out are coddled by the government, what with its concerns for their comfort and convenience-does not quite exceed "This is Alabama, don't spout none of that ching-chong nonsense at me, Fu Manchu," but it is certainly a worthy attempt. It's almost like performance art. [Via]

Oh my. He's back. Who are these politicians I wonder who worry about inconveniencing sex offenders? I think they do not have very good careers, and never did. Seems like Tim James is running against a very helpful straw man.

Any time a politician brings up sex offenders my brain just tunes them out. Stance of least resistance. Also, that clip could have used a few star wipes.

If you're going to be an asshole, at least button your fucking shirt collar.

Homeboy has a hell of a lot of wood paneling. That's a sign you can trust him.

Why do I feel that he went to the Brian Fellows School of Politicians? That goat is a sex offender!

I'm getting a Hal Philip Walker vibe from this dude.

Also, I'd bone him. Is that weird? I'm attracted to jerks.

I don't get what being a business man has to do with wanting to "inconvenience" sex offenders. Are business men disgusted by sex offenders' well known thriftiness as well by their crimes?

Also, are the rhetorical questions supposed to TRICK ME INTO AGREEING?

A true businessman would inconvenience SOME sex offenders, and sell the others some kind of priority pass to skip the line. I'm going to suggest this to Alabama. It seems like they're open to fresh ideas.
