We love Teri Davis Newman. She’s been reading IHateTheMedia.com and leaving pithy comments since about day three.
Teri’s the Republican nominee for Congress in Illinois-12. She’s running against fat-and-happy, 12-term incumbent Democrat Jerry Costello, who hasn’t had a real challenge in god knows how long.
She’s smart, spunky, and not afraid to say what needs to be said even if it’s not the “smart” thing to say. For some unknown reason, she agreed to do IHateTheMedia.com’s first congressional candidate interview.
As you might expect, her answers are better than our questions.
1. If you were a witch, would you be Glenda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz, Samantha from Bewitched or Nancy Pelosi?
Nancy Pelosi isn’t qualified to be a witch. The only magic she’s ever performed is convincing the people of California-8 that she’s not a psychotic Botox-addicted knuckle-dragging vodka-swilling spotted owl-loving liberal. The rest of the country knows better.
2. On gay marriage, would you vote as a typical conservative and be against it, or would you be in favor of it because as a wedding planner it could increase your income?
I’m not one to sell my integrity for money.
3. You can invite any three people – living or dead- to dinner. How do you split the bill and under whose name is the reservation made?
I’ll make the reservation and pay the bill. They’re dead so it’s a cheap date.
4. Beatles or Stones? PC or Mac? Ninja or pirate? Hayak or Keynes?
Stones, PC, Ninja, Hayek
5. Celebrated movie The Graduate is left famously unresolved. In your estimation what happened to characters Benjamin and Elaine after they departed from the bus?
They get married, have 2.3 children. Subsequently they divorce and Elaine takes half of the money he made in “plastic.” Sadly, Benjamin is killed in a prison riot where he was doing time for insider trading.
