Here Come Da Judge!

Ms. Renée McElhaney is a candidate for Judge of the 73rd district court in Bexar (pronounced bayer) county, Texas.

I’m not sure she should immediately be categorized as a Dumbass, but a commercial of hers caught my attention this morning. During the commercial, she claimed she was “among four generations of military heroes.”

Whatever. Leave it to a Republican to cash in on someone else’s accomplishments.

On her web site, you can find the following text, which also gets a big, fat ”whatever” from me:

“Dedication and service is central to my personal ethic—you could say these are embedded in my DNA. My grandfather lead a squadron of fighters to provide air coverage during the D-Day invasion, and my uncle island hopped behind Japanese lines as part of a bomber crew. My father, brother, and now my daughter and son-in-law, have all served in the Air Force to protect this great country.”

[sigh]

I’m mildly disappointed she didn’t throw in any 9/11 references like Kevin Wolff did.
