Today’s Doofus comes from Virginia.
Krystal Ball dressed as a naughty Santa at a party “right after college.” Her then-husband wore a dildo on his nose and leash around his neck.
Years later, Krystal decided to run for Congress in Virginia. Guess what happened next?
Krystal Ball is running as a Democrat in Virginia’s solidly Republican first district, which means there’s no way she’ll win. Which is too bad, because how funny would it be if future history books had to include a paragraph about Krystal Ball’s Great Dildo-Nosed Reindeer Scandal of 2010 ? Anyway, Krystal’s 29 and graduated from UVA in 2003, which puts her squarely in the Facebook generation. So consider these nine pictures … our first glimpse at the coming ludicrous future where all political candidates have caches of embarrassing digital pictures lurking on the internet.
There’s more at the link.
I suspect that this Christmas, in and around Virginia, the traditional carol about Rudolph the Reindeer will be rather more anatomically specific than usual!

Ummm…yeah. I'm pretty sure that's not actually a 'nose,' Rudolph.
I'm just sayin.'
People stupid enough to go on those sites and post stuff like that deserve whatever comes their way in later life.
Yeah. I live in the First District and see her campaign signs every day. Klassy.
I love how (in the video on the site Peter linked with the nine pictures) she pulls the "sexist card."
No dear, it isn't sexist to drag up pictures of you doing something embarrassing that is pontentially going to derail your policital ambitions. If your boyfriend (in the picture) were running instead, they'd use the same picture and embarrass him too. Guys or gals can both play.
It's just politics. All is fair in love and war, and politics. Except you can only die once in war.
Stupid people doing stupid things. Although she is kind of cute!
