2. Another unstable teabagger

If he were Governor and had a disagreement with a member of staff or another elected official, he would just punch them out.

3. for governor

People in Maine are really not happy with this guy. He's now in a free-fall in the polls.

4. If I was said reporter

I would continue to piss this tea bagger off, and when he hit me, have him arrested for assault.

5. What happens if one is elected to office, but one is in jail?

is one automatically disqualified? I would think so, but I don't know how all the laws work, especially if one is in jail for just a week or two for something non-felony or other larger crime.
