As many of you know, when it comes to the race for Congress in Arizona District 3 — I am in the tank for Pamela Gorman. Last Thursday was Pamela Gorman Day on FTR Radio — and it was a huge success. Unlike Katie Couric, I like to let you know up front that I’m biased.

She is running against nine other candidates. The most well known of her opponents is Ben Quayle.(son of former V.P. Dan Quayle)

Quayle just recently moved to Arizona. Fortunately, he picked a house in a congressional district that has an open seat. What are the odds?

There has been some play about a Quayle mail piece that had a photo of him with 2 kids in his lap. The impression was left to the casual reader that they are Quayle’s kids, they are not.

From RedState:

Quayle sent out a mail piece of him holding one young child with another in a seat. The caption under it reads, in part, “Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here.”

To be fair, the mail piece does not claim that the kids are Ben’s. But I’m sure that if it were to leave the impression on Arizona voters that the kids are his and that Quayle is a strong family man, his campaign staff would be okay with that.

So to sum up — Ben Quayle just moved to Arizona, got married, adopted a dog and is now running for Congress. Any more politician clichés available?

Get this man some babies to kiss and pass the apple pie! Stat!!!

After being booed by Boy Scouts at their annual Jamboree, President Obama instructed the Justice Department to sue the 100 year old organization.

This is from a written statement just released by the White House :

The President instructed his Attorney General, Eric Holder to sue Boy Scouts International for voter intimidation. We have photos of two Boy Scouts standing outside a polling station in Branson, Missouri during the 2008 Presidential election. This tyranny shall not stand.

When reached for comment, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said:

Let me be clear, we need to examine what the Boy Scouts are all about. This is an organization that dresses children in uniforms and takes them into the woods and teaches them survival techniques and other skills that are out of the mainstream.

They are just as dangerous to this country as the Michigan Militia. We are going to do what we do best in these situations, lawyer up and sue baby!

I will closely follow this story until I need a nap.

UPDATE 1:02 PM!

FBI officials along with the ATF have raided the Boy Scout Jamboree. They have confiscated 3200 pocket knives and stopped 3 Boy Scouts that were trying to help an old lady cross the street.

UPDATE!!! 2:54 PM

The FBI arrested 4 Boy Scouts for allegedly attacking an SEIU recruiter that was at the Jamboree to try to unionize the Boy Scouts. The recruiter is resting comfortably in the hospital and will be named to a position in President Obama’s Cabinet tomorrow.

Well kids, Pamela Gorman Day was a huge success. Yesterday her campaign coffers swelled to over 1 biiilllliooon dollars. Much of that credit goes to everyone that listened to FTR Radio’s wall to wall coverage of PamelaPalooza. Thank you!

The lead up to yesterday was fun. I thought it would be funny to make up a bunch of ridiculous statements about Pamela Gorman and tweet them with the hashtag #pamelagormanfunfacts. I heart Twitter.

Well it didn’t take long for me to gravitate to some old Chuck Norris fun facts. I repackaged some of them as Pamela Gorman fun facts and included a new car smell. Others joined in on the fun. It was pretty successful.

Later I found out that CQ Politics noticed our shenanigans-and wrote about them on CQPolitics.com. Fingers Malloy on CQ Politics? All I can say is- it’s about time.

From CQ Politics:

Random can be funny. Just ask “Fingers Malloy.”

Malloy came up with a clever way to invite listeners to tune into “Pamela Gorman Day” on his online radio show, “The Snark Factor.”

He tweeted fictional and clearly silly “fun facts” about Gorman, a Republican running for the House in Arizona’s 3rd district.

Then others joined in.

Here are the contributions to #pamelagormanfunfacts that made us LOL, groan, or both:

• “Crop circles are @PamelaGorman’s way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie down.”
• “@PamelaGorman can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.”
• “@PamelaGorman knows where Carmen Sandiego is.”

Today is Pamela Gorman Day.

I remember my first Pamela Gorman Day like it was yesterday. The family and I got up early to decorate the tree with Arizona flags and pistols. The traditional Pamela Gorman Day feast was out of this world.

Most of you are probably wondering what’s usually served at a Pamela Gorman Day feast. It doesn’t matter what you eat on Pamela Gorman Day, as long as at one time the main course had parents.

This year Pamela Gorman Day is significant for many Americans. You see, Pamela is running for Congress in the 3RD district of Arizona.  She is one of many people running against an inexperienced candidate that is very well funded, with a famous last name.

But Pamela is the type of candidate that conservatives can enthusiastically support. She has a strong record of fiscal responsibility and she is determined to secure our borders.

Not wanting to shortchange her constituents, Pamela resigned her seat in the Arizona State Senate to run for Congress. That my friends, shows character.

So today on FTR Radio, we are dedicating our broadcast schedule to all things Pamela Gorman. We did not make this decision casually, we believe in her.

Tune in today to learn more about this fantastic leader. If you like what you hear, check out her website and make a donation to her campaign. I know I will.
