Linda McMahon Exposes Democrat Snobbery and Hypocrisy

You could not pay me to watch professional wrestling. I think it is The Jerry Spriger Show with spandex. But since I have a long history with comic books and science fiction as well as a allergic reaction to hypocrisy, I try not to judge fans harshly. Nor do I critique politicians for exploiting the fan base of potential voters. The rock showed up at the 2000 Republican National Convention, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton recorded messages for WWE fans during the 2008campaign, and some local wrestlers have shilled for candidates I my home state.

But going back to my allergic reaction to hypocrisy, I do find it annoying the Democrats are now snobbishly attacking the Republican nominee for Senate in Connecticut, former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, for her association with professional wrestling.

It is not like the lady is talking about braining her opponent with a metal chair. McMahon is a smart businesswoman who helped build the WWF/WWE from a regional carnival act to an international business. She knows what running a business is all about. She is also running a respectable, legitimate campaign with tons of cash on hand to do so.

Bottom line: McMahon would make a far less embarrassing senator than baggy pants comedian Al Franken. He has an incredibly difficult time faking class under any circumstances. McMahon has proven she can be appropriately serious when the situation calls for it. Democrats should take note.
