Want to be this guy's consultant?

You have to see this. You need to see this.

Per the Arizona Republic:

This is the most damaging political article that I have ever seen, if not the funniest. Wes Marsh, former Arizona state representative, is trying to make a comeback.

The highlights:

"Over his past two campaigns, the former four-term member of the Arizona House has been accused of everything from lying about his military record to falsifying residency."

"Moments before participating last month in a candidates debate in Carefree, Marsh was served court papers for unpaid child support."

Strike tonight's line about "cracking down on deadbeat dads."

"Two weeks later, a former girlfriend filed a lawsuit claiming he owed her more than $10,000 for a loan to finance his unsuccessful 2002 election."

"Now, a complaint has been filed with the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission questioning the legality of the loan, which apparently was not reported to the secretary of state."

"Marsh claims that Davies (his ex-wife) was physically abusive during their eight-year marriage, that she forged one of his checks and had a child with another man."

This woman used to be on the Republican National Committee. I'm serious.

"Marsh claims he was a battered husband and that Davies gave him tinnitus, a ringing in the ears, and cracked his front tooth when she pushed him to their tile floor."

"Usually she sat on me," Marsh said. "She's almost 300 pounds."Court records lists Davies as 5-foot-8, 290 pounds. Marsh is 6-feet, 170 pounds. "

Uncle! Uncle!

"According to Marsh, Davies was physically abusive, behavior that stemmed from her own abusive childhood and former forced marriage to her stepfather."

Former? You mean it didn't work out!?

Her response:

"She doesn't deny her abusive childhood or marrying her stepfather. "Whatever," she said. "That was a long time ago."

I don't know a political reporter with the guts to ask a follow up. In fact, I'm sure that this was a phone interview. Maybe e-mail.

"Marsh works as a Homeland Security consultant and is a major in the Air Reserve. "

I feel way safer.

Conclusion?

"He's a non-entity," candidate David Burnell Smith said. "If he gets 5 percent of the votes, I'll be shocked."

Roger that Dave.


Richard Nixon once said that all news is good news. Richard Nixon didn't read todays Arizona Republic.
