No doubt you’ve heard about GOP Senate candidate, Linda McMahon of Connecticut trying to grab an illicit hitch on President Obama’s coattails.  It seems  to be an act of pure desperation by McMahon who has little hope of defeating Democrat Chris Murphy, who actually received the President’s endorsement.

In a season of extreme head-slappers this example of crust barely merits mention; that is, until you take a look at the candidate’s bizarre personal history.

Mrs. McMahon, who, together with her husband of 50+ years, Vince McMahon, presides over the professional wrestling empire that is the WWE, has been implicated in the rampant steroid drug abuse within the organization that came to light at the time of the sensational murder-suicide of Canadian wrestler, Chris Benoit in 2007.

Documents from the Oversight and Government Reform Committee that investigated the WWE following the Benoit incident, were damning:

The documents stated that 75 wrestlers-roughly 40 percent-had tested positive for drug use since 2006, most commonly for steroids.

Curiously, no action was ever taken by the Committee.

Linda was asked why there had been no follow-up during a televised interview with CBS Face the State on January 20, 2010 and responded, “There’s not been any follow-up from any of the inquiries that were made because I believe we had furnished thousands of documents and testimony for them, and I think if they looked at our policy and really delved into it, they would be very satisfied.”

‘No reason to suspect influence peddling there!

Always ready to give the paying fans whatever they wanted, Mrs. McMahon even wrestled her husband in a celebrated “grudge match,” before finally setting her sights on the Senate.  She tried to clean up the act by adopting the TV Parental Guidelines for the traditionally violent and sexually suggestive WWE in order to rehabilitate her image, but failed to win a Senate seat in 2010.

Apparently voters were none too impressed with her conservative credentials:

Under Linda’s tenure, WWE became one of the largest recipients of special tax credits for film and TV production granted by the State of Connecticut. During her 2010 campaign, Blumenthal’s campaign criticized her and WWE for accepting the tax credits while laying off workers in 2009.

So, now she apparently is prepared to go to any length to give the suckers what they want, even if it means misrepresenting herself as an “Obama Girl.”

I predict a smackdown, once again, for Linda McMahon’s senatorial ambitions.
