This is picture Pat Powers snapped of Jason

AFP (American Freedom Press) reporter, Katt Stephens interviews Johnson staffer/scout ‘Jason’ about Pat Powers obsession with him.

Stephens, “Doesn’t it seem kind of odd that a married man with twenty-three children is stalking you?”

Jason, “Oh, I don’t mind. You know besides him snapping a few pictures from time to time, he is pretty harmless, and if he was chasing me, he probably wouldn’t be able to catch me on foot, or could his midget of a dog.”

Stephens, “So no close calls that may worry you?”

Jason, “Maybe. I do remember seeing Pat at the Brookings grain elevator one day filling the back of his truck up with feed, you know when you have that many kids, you need to buy in bulk. Anyway I really had to go, so I used the elevator’s restroom and I saw a guy with grain dust on his shoes wave under the bathroom stall wall.”

Stephens, “Are you saying Pat was attempting a ‘Larry Craig’ move – so to speak?”

Jason, “I’m not saying it was Pat, you know, Brookings is a weird town, and it seems the elevator is where all the creeps hangout and drink free coffee. It could have been any farmer having a sexual identity crisis.”

Stephens, “Any other times?”

Jason, “He did slip me his business card once and told me to give him a call if I wanted to buy any real estate. I told him thanks, but I didn’t have the heart to tell him it would be a cold day in Hell before I would move to Brookings, let alone buy a house there.”

Stephens, “So do you think he was trying to meet with you?”

Jason, “Probably.”

Stephens, “To get to know you  ‘better’ – so to speak?”

Jason, “I still think he is harmless. Actually, I got the suspicion that he might have wanted to change parties since his (Republican) is pretty much in the toilet and since he ran on Democratic party issues in the primaries.”

Stephens, “Yeah with that many kids you are either a Democrat or a Morman. Seems odd he‘s neither.”

Jason, “Exactly.”

Stephens, “Any closing thoughts on Pat.”

Jason, “Yeah, I wish he would send me some wallet sized copies of the photos he has taken of me. I especially like the one he took of me in my pink polo at DakotaFest.”

(FOR THE RECORD: Pat isn’t a ‘Larry’ and neither is Jason, but seriously guys, you really need to kiss and make up.)
