Former Gov. Pat McCrory (R-NC) said that he lost the Republican race for U.S. Senate because his primary challenger toted a pistol in his pants in television advertisements.

"I lost a primary two weeks ago to a congressman who had a gun in his front trousers in a commercial," McCrory noted during an interview on Meet the Press.

"In every TV ad," host Chuck Todd observed.

"In every TV ad," McCrory confirmed. "And that was a more powerful message to the constituency voting in that primary. He was tougher; I was weaker. And yet, my record of accomplishment fighting crime is unsurpassed."

Shame he didn't shoot off his manhood. Seriously, they call that the appendix carry.

5. What are you saying, Mr. McCrory?

That Republican voters are so shallow that they can't resist some knucklehead making an ersatz display of impotent manhood? Sounds to me like you lost because you didn't appeal to the lowest common denominator of the electorate.

9. Front trousers?

Are there back/rear/aft trousers?

What a peculiar word choice.
