You should taste the taste we got!
With the stinging recruitment loss of Biotech millionaire John Crowley, it looks like the GOP is falling back on Plan B — disgraced Goya Foods frat boy Andy Unanue:
“I just filed the petitions,” Unanue spokesman Mark Duffy said this morning as he returned to State Republican Committee headquarters from the Division of Elections office.
While Unanue was unavailable to talk to the press or pose for pictures, Duffy said he had more good news.
“He’s in the state,” Duffy announced.
Even as he remained a man publicly defined as a hard-partying nightclub owner without a New Jersey address, the millionaire businessman’s absence on a family trip to Vail did not prove a stumbling block to winning county support these last few weeks since Anne Evans Estabrook left the Republican primary race.
Unanue will face off with Ron Paul supporter and college professor Murray Sabrin and crypto-fascist state Sen. Joe Pennacchio for the GOP nod. Oh boy-a!
Crowley may think he’s a Republican, but he needs to see the light. Perhaps Gov Corzine could do it.
I know Crowley is rich, and that condition alone could make him think he’s just naturally a Repub. But it’s really hard to see him marching in lockstep with the crazies against stem cell research, for example. And what does he think of the whole anti-science stuff anyway? Maybe put him in a room listening to speeches by Sen Jim Inhofe ranting that Global Warming is a fraud for a couple of hours and Crowley will come out a Democrat for sure. In fact, maybe in his exploration of making the race he met enough Repubs to convince him that he isn’t one of them. I’d sure prefer to see him on our team next time.
I have no idea whether the description is accurate, but:
I don’t really care for “crypto-fascist” state legislators. Does this one have to relinquish his seat, to run for Congress?
