Pot, boobies and panties in the Alabama Govenors Race
March 24, 2006 8:24 AM Subscribe
Pot, boobies and panties in the Alabama Govenors Race Loretta Nall is running for govenor of Alabama on the Marijuana Party ticket and also trying to the the nomination from the Libertarian Party.
Her cleavage recently became an issue when a columnist for an Alabama newspaper got huffy because his newspaper ran a picture of her showing cleavage.
But that's not all. Ms. Nall was also denied permission to see her brother in jail because she wasn't wearing panties.
She tells all about it in her blog.
"One little 7-year-old boy, (who was so precious I could have gobbled him right up)..." apparently in addition to smoking pot, she EATS KIDS!

Man, it would be great if she got elected. Just for the refusal to wear panties. :)

I would vote for her if I lived in Alabama. Her blog is excellent. It makes Howard Dean's blog look like an advert for Celexa. Uncluttered, informative, and homegrown. Its too bad she lives in Alabama. Does the Internet go to Alabama?

Sort of. You can find it in The How to Crush Your Competition with Money and Politics Bible written by the alcohol, tobacco and cotton lobbies.

And....
6 posts to make fun of Alabama. Congratulations! You are our grand prize winner!
Some people in Alabama do stupid things and should be mocked (of course some people in California take millions from defense contractors and we don't mock California as a whole). For singling out the state for being stupid for the stupid actions of, um, a woman you would vote for I heartily congratulate you. Kudos!

Ok, you may continue with your Alabama-bashing.

Pssht, old news. Our Dear Former Governor Jesse Ventura is on record stating that he prefers 'going commando' most of the time.
One journalist wrote about Ventura: "He's not a man afraid of 'skeletons in the closet', mostly because his skeletons are all out in the open, sitting on the couch and smoking cigars."

Probably through some clever combination of wearing outerwear and having a vagina rather than a snail.

"Now that you and the rest of Alabama have been introduced to the twins perhaps you would like to meet the rest of me. I'll don my burka so y'all won't be offended and then perhaps we can discuss the other planks in my platform since you only covered one."

Snail trails? WTF? Vaginas do not secrete anything while the woman is not aroused or menstruating (As far as I know) And in the second case they could wear a tampon.

Welcome to Alabama. Surprising as it may seem and though there may be many of them, not everyone is a toothless hillbilly, a bigoted redneck or a rabid bible beater. Plus the food is great and tea comes sweet unless you ask for it not to be.

I opened this thread with great trepidation. My fears were confirmed. Tee-hee, look at the inbred hicks. I guess the state that could produce such utter assholes as Judge Roy Moore deserves it. As a native son, I feel the need to defend my home state, even as I hate so much of what it has become.
Then I read the links.
I am going to vote for this woman. I am going to volunteer for her campaign. I will continue to support her efforts at drug law and prison reform.
Dig, e-mail me and we'll go out for drinks and then maybe we'll go shoot a Yankee.
And yes, the Internet goes to Alabama, it's just kinda slow and tends to drop its g's.

I'm sincerely hoping that she makes at least enough of a splash to reach northward a few miles into Tennessee and shake a little sense into some folks around here. Not that the Powers That Be aren't going to make the news anyway regarding busts. Seems like all the time there's another big pot bust around here. (Warning: Second link not Firefox friendly)

I read the column. The columnist says toward the end (direct quote, including the dots, which he uses as punctuation):
"In 55 years of political writing, that was a first for me—-a picture in my column of a woman displaying cleavage. I can only hope that my mother...and I know for a fact where she ended in the after life...didn’t see that column."
Exact quote. This raises several questions, among them:
-- which place, Heaven or Hell, provides a mother with her son's newspaper column?
-- which place allows the display of cleavage?
-- don't both? If not, why not?
-- how this columnist can "know for a fact where she ended in the after life" and
-- why he's not saying where, exactly, or how he knows this.

Oh, and there's a mailing list.
She's actually writng the blog, handling the mailing list and all of that herself. It's not someone else doing it, like most political blogs.
I knew about this story because she's been writing about it on the mailing list.

According to the Shelby County Reporter's subscription page, 12 months of delivery to Heaven or Hell would only cost you $53.60. Such a bargain! Assuming Hell/Heaven is "Out of State" and not "In Shelby County" or "Out of Shelby County, but in Alabama."

I am actually voting in the Republican primary so I can have as many chances to vote against Roy Moore as humanly possible. Siegelman is in court for his role in Alabama's own version of Enron, but in a pinch I can live with Don, Lucy Baxley or even incumbent Bob Riley, who seems infinitely more worried about Alabama business than Alabama churches. So after voting against Moore in the primaries, I think I will chalk a vote up for our new pantieless, dope smoking overlord (overlady? governatrix?)
