Vote for Benson
November 4, 2008 at 10:59 am by Joe BardiThis just in from food critic Brian Ries, manning CL’s Sarasota office today:
“Nope, it’s not photoshopped. Republican Laura Benson is running for state house in Sarasota’s district 69 against incumbent Keith Fitzgerald (D). Her campaign has been marked by numerous attack ads (Keith is responsible for your high gas prices!) and a little scandal involving a few Tampa Republicans with ties to Benson’s campaign manager backing a pretend Green Party spoiler candidate (http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20081103/BREAKING/811030226?Title=Testy_race_winding_down).
But this … this is just art for arts sake. Someone took the time to measure her big, roadside campaign signs and produce a full-color cut-out head of Robert Guillaume to tack onto Laura Benson’s hateful melon. Benson. Get it?”
