Rusty Tanton is more popular than Jesus
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
The people have spoken!
Local blogger Rusty Tanton — a Decatur resident who mounted a one-man write-in campaign to be elected Cobb County Tax Commissioner — received more votes on Nov. 4 than the Son of God.
This was quite the coup, if I may say. Tanton was able to trump such notable candidates as “Keith Richards,” “Obi Wan Kenobi,” “Zombie Reagan” and perennial officeseeker “The Hell With IRS :].” “No More Evil Nazis” and “Paris Hilton” polled favorably, but alas, their respective public foibles — silly moustaches and sex tapes, respectively — ruined their chances.
State Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, received one vote. Really.
