WTF Is It Now?!?

Swann campaign sucking monkey ass
Political fumbles by the White House, the Pennsylvania GOP and gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann are turning the NFL Hall of Famer's campaign into a bad joke, the Moonie Times reports.

Republicans thought they could knock off Gov. Ed Rendell this fall by running a famous athlete against the former Philadelphia mayor. But now they say the Swann campaign is looking like a loser.

[S]ome Republicans in the state who were initially sympathetic to Mr. Swann are critical of a campaign they describe as arrogant and inept. Lacking guidance from the White House or the Republican National Committee, they say, Mr. Swann has failed to reach out to the state's most influential Republicans.

He has taken an ambiguous position on taxes, offered no clear philosophy of governance, arbitrarily cancelled speaking commitments, failed to file required financial statements and hired as chief campaign spokesman a New Yorker unschooled in Pennsylvania politics.

Fun fact: Swann was picked as the nominee by grublike slimeball Karl Rove.
