In a landmark ruling, U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton has ruled that voters in Connecticut can dress badly on election day! As you no doubt know, Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is the Republican nominee for Senate in the Nutmeg State, and there was concern that voters showing up at polls in Santino Cobra T-Shirts would be violating the prohibition against political paraphernalia within 75 feet of a polling place. But rest assured: the votes of citizens who avidly follow professional wrestling will be counted! more ›

Former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive—and wife of Vince—Linda McMahon won the Connecticut Republican Senate primary yesterday. According to the Courant, she "came on stage to Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger.'" She said of the Republican Party, "Families don't always get along and don't always agree, but, in the end, they do stand together." This means she'll be vying for Senator Christopher Dodd's seat this fall against Richard Blumenthal, the Democratic candidate and fake Vietnam vet). As Democrats slam her WWE connections, McMahon said she is willing to spend up to $50 million on the race. more ›

Days after the NY Times questioned his apparent lies and exaggerations about his service during the Vietnam War, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal accepted the Democratic party's nomination to run for Senator Chris Dodd's seat this fall. Blumenthal, who claimed he simply misspoke and also didn't have time to correct reporters (because they've made so many mistakes in reporting about him) said, "I have made mistakes. I regret them. And I have taken responsibility. But this campaign must be about the people of Connecticut." more ›

While her husband Vince might be given "no chance in hell" if he were to run for public office, former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon is being treated like a serious candidate after announcing that she will run for the Connecticut Senate seat now held by Democrat Christopher Dodd. McMahon is a good friend of CT Governor Jodi Rell, who nominated her for the the State Board of Ed earlier this year. McMahon's publicity stunt candidacy is being sold as a self-funded fiscally conservative but socially left-leaning outsider, that at least one political expert says "could improve the image of the party" in the state. The announcement gave McMahon's fellow Republican challengers a chance to make corny jokes about not expecting "smackdowns" and whether she was "a welterweight," despite that having no connection to WWE lure. Everyone expects McMahon to take heat for raunchy WWE programming, but no outlets mentioned what a liability her promotion of state gang activity may be through her son Shane's "Mean Street Posse" from the rough terrain of Greenwich, CT. more ›
