SUPERDELL won't beg
Leave it to "SUPERDELL" Schanze to combine politics, free enterprise and a complete absence of taste into one totally awesome hairball of self-promotion. The goal, Schanze says, is to pay for his gubernatorial campaign without resorting to handouts from voters.

On Schanze's campaign website he announces that he has been hired as pitchman for a title loan company.
They very wisely wanted to cash in on the extreme amounts of exposure I receive. They will be paying for a very large campaign staring SUPERDELL as their spokesman and inside of their commercials they will allow me to promote my campaign in any way I like. I much prefer this method as I feel I am EARNING my way through the campaign instead of begging others to fund it.
In other words, next time you take out a short-term title loan, you'll not only get to pay usury interest rates, but you'll be supporting SUPERDELL's campaign.

Word on the street: Long-shot Democratic hopeful Bob Springmeyer, left, has been approached by Midvale-based loan-sharking entrepreneur Benny "The Weasel" to negotiate a similar cross-promotional deal.

But he won't be "owned" by anyone!

Who are you going to trust? A person that raises $25 from 1,000 people or a person that raises $25,000 from one company.

Whatever. He and his ego (I think it has its own zipcode now) are just aching to be back in the news.

Every one of your posts is entertaining, but I have to say that this one made coffee shoot from my nostrils.

My nomination for best use of Dell's old trademark to make him look even more ridiculous:

"Leave it to "SUPERDELL" Schanze to combine politics, free enterprise and a complete absence of taste into one totally awesome hairball of self-promotion."
