Mine was parody - this is unintended parody.
From today’s Kane County Chronicle:
“The [Chris Lauzen running for congress in the 14th District] announcement kicked off a three-day, eight-county tour with 26 stops throughout the district.
….
Lauzen took the offensive against his two GOP competitors in his speech, calling himself ‘the only traditional conservative in the Republican primary’ and criticizing the style of politicking Oberweis used in his failed U.S. Senate and Illinois gubernatorial bids.
‘I know there are candidates out there who will spend millions on robotic telephone calls and TV commercials filled with false promises,’ Lauzen said. ‘No one should be able to buy public office.’
[Geneva mayor and GOP candidate Kevin] Burns fired back on Wednesday, issuing a release saying Lauzen’s three-day, eight-county, 26-stop tour was a knock-off of Burns’ own two-day, eight-county, 11-stop tour last month.
‘It is proof positive that imitation is the greatest form of flattery,’ Burns said in the statement.”
Yep, it’s true, nobody ever thought of doing a multi-day, multi-county tour right after announcing their intent to run for congress. Nobody.
