Meet Richmond, Virginia mayoral candidate Donnie Corker, aka Dirtwoman.
If elected Dirtwoman pledges to get the prostitutes off the street and
dress in drag every day. A little more dirt on Dirtwoman:
Reared in Oregon Hill, Corker literally made his name in
politics, becoming legendary for crashing the gates — and getting
arrested — at the gubernatorial inauguration of now-Richmond Mayor L.
Douglas Wilder. Oh, and there was a little incident where he left that
“deposit” in the back seat of a Richmond Police car.
Now a born-again Christian whose voting rights — revoked for a
decades-old felony sodomy conviction — were recently restored by Gov.
Tim Kaine, Corker says he mostly refrains from his drag queen get-up
except to draw crowds to the annual Hamaganza charity benefit in
November, where he appears as a not-ready-for-primetime (or Christmas
time) Miss Claus.
If Stephen Colbert can run for Prez, why shouldn't
Donnie Corker do a little mayoral campaigning. We say, bring it on
Dirtwoman. We're sure Richmond, VA could use a little drag and sodomy.
But, honestly, who couldn't? (via Joe.My.God.)
