Ironic Johnny unopposed, but still a tool

While Johnny will be breezing into his next term as our Jr. Se’NO’tor;

It’s official. Sen. John Thune will run unopposed this year.

Mark St. Pierre of Pine Ridge had sought to challenge Thune as an independent. He turned in petitions before the Tuesday deadline, but Kea Warne, the state’s elections supervisor, reports that St. Pierre fell short of the 3,356 signatures he needed to qualify for the ballot. He was apparently short by more than 400, Warne said.

Lester Benson, a guy who was in the office last week saying he had enough labor support to make the ballot, apparently also fell short in his quest. Last time I saw him, Benson was off to a bowling alley to collect signatures.

The rumor on the street is that God intervened and made sure John was unopposed. In a recent interview, God said;

“Washington just isn’t full enough of contradictory, lying, hypocritical, self-serving politicians – Washington needs more John Thunes.”
