A big "You go girl!" to Manhattan Borough President candidate Brian Ellner. The New York Times reports that Ellner not only included, but mentions by name his partner, Simon Holloway, in a television campaign spot. While Ellner stands to the left of the Offender on a few things, the fact that he starts the ad with Bush's head on a bare male torso, stating, "the Emporer has no clothes" is spot on. Manhattan shouldn't have to cower to puerile, self-righteous red staters who take no pause in putting us down.
I had previously dissed the Ellner campaign slogan, "Feel Good About Voting Again" (which apparently was noticed by someone on the Ellner campaign). Now that the campaign is putting out it's full message, the slogan works. In fact, let it be proclaimed that as of today, Manhattan Offender endorses Brian Ellner for Manhattan Borough President! (I'm sure this endorsement will be added to all campaign materials immediately.) And invite Mister Offender and me to the inaugural ball - doubtless to be better than any other candidates!
