“Dead goldfish offered the vote in Illinois”

The AP has the story.

From what I can see, this appears to be an honest mistake — though the owner of the fish, a Barack supporter, using the fish’s name to sign up for a second phone line speaks to a certain curious mindset.

Still, not much there there.

Unless, of course, the fish happened to vote for McCain Palin. In which case one could expect Henry Waxman’s nostrils to expand to the size of teacups as he peddled his indignation to the nation.

    “There was no fraud involved,” said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. “This person is a dead fish.” The pomo makes my head hurt.

    Seems like a metaphor for the entire Obama campaign.

    My goldfish (“Sanchez-Nannerz”, don’t ask) pretty much spends his life swimming in circles waiting for someone to give him his next meal.

    The perfect Obama voter.

    It turns out that “Princess” (the fish) was also erroneously enrolled in C.A.D.A.V.E.R. (Chicago Area Dead Voters Association Excluding Republicans). I hear it’s a very powerful voting bloc up there.

    Please, no Waxman/Nostril jokes.

    It’s just too damned easy.

  7. heeeeey, that reminds me, maggie still hasn’t received her free Obama sticker from Moveon, yet. and I was so looking forward to the junk mail with her name on it.

    Not to drag this too far off topic, but did you know you could build a tea cup ride in Henry Waxmans nostrils. Yep. It’s true.

    We need a Constitutional Amendment.

    The same proof of identity for buying a gun, or driving, or getting on an airplane, or opening a bank account, or buying beer should be required for voting. Too controversial? I agree.

    The same proof of identity to be claimed as an exemption on a tax return shall be required for voting.

    but, Mark D, those old people working the poles can’t tell one person from another and the print on those ID’s is tiny. so then the lines will be so long people won’t wait to vote.

    Jeff, next you’ll be expressing dismay that some Chicago precincts manage near Cuban voting levels (a couple of times in my adult life, they really slipped and had a 102% turnout initially report – that managed to get “Corrected” down to the 90s – ha!)…
