HEADLINE: Kevin Brooks eyes 2014 GOP primary bid against Scott DesJarlais
THE RECAP: State House Assistant Majority Leader Kevin Brooks, R-Cleveland, said Tuesday he is eyeing a possible bid against embattled U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., in the 2014 GOP primary.
DREW’S VIEW: Join the club, Rep. Brooks. The list of would-be challengers to the mistress-having, abortion-coercing, drug-using, patient-cavorting Dr. DesJarlais is growing faster than my waistline after devouring my dad’s deep-fried Thanksgiving turkey.
Those reportedly considering a run for the 4th District Congressional seat include: Former 3rd Congressional District candidate Weston Wamp, State Rep. Joe Carr (R-Murfreesboro), retired Cracker Barrel executive Forrest Shoaf, State Sen. Jim Tracy (R-Shelbyville), Rutherford County pharmacy company executive Shane Reeves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Anyone with any values, morals or common sense wants to see DesJarlais out of Congress and replaced with someone who isn’t a hypocrite and a fraud about the issues he or she claims to care about most. As a result, if one quality candidate runs against DesJarlais in the 2014 Republican, DesJarlais stands almost no chance.
