We're Just Glad It Wasn't Puck Who Got Elected....
For a party that has a reputation as being stuffy and dull, we Republicans do tend to elect some pretty interesting candidates to Congress. Whether it be the widow of a 60's Pop Icon, Cooter from the Dukes of Hazzard, or the Yeoman Purser from The Love Boat, the GOP occasionally will rip off a good one. For the MTV Generation like myself, we finally have one we can identify with...
If the name Sean Duffy doesn't ring a bell for you, we'll just say three words: The Real World. Duffy appeared on the show in it's heyday. His particular skill? Tree climbing. Growing up in Wisconsin, climbing trees in those big spiky boots is old hat. But, even in Cheddar Country, Duffy was exceptional. Now you probably remember him. If not, we wonder where you were in the early 90's...
After TRW, Duffy appeared on Road Rules, where he met his wife, who was a hottie from an earlier Real World, and they have six kids. Yeah, they've been busy. Eventually, Duffy got his law degree and worked his way through the GOP. His win was a big indicator of the change of 2010. He took over the seat of the retiring David Obey, who seemed to be Wisconsin's own version of John Spratt - a former moderate who grew tired of pushing Nancy Pelosi's bullshit. At least he was smart enough to quit...
Do we expect to see Duffy walking 90 degrees up the Capitol Rotunda in his spiky boots? No, but he could if he wanted to.... We'll settle for some sensible, fiscally responsible legislation. If that fails, then he can break out the boots.
