Dave Friend and a duck

This is Omaha Mayoral Candidate Dave Friend and a duck. I wish I could make this stuff up, but I’m not that talented.

This picture appears on a direct mail piece, and you can find the piece at his website.

I wanted to make a joke about this picture, but I think the picture speaks for itself.

In order to be protected from “lawyers,” I will try to comply with the Fair Use Doctrine. To comply, I have to criticize the picture. So here is my criticism… “What the hell was he thinking!?!”

    What he was thinking was….. that Omaha just doesn’t need a friend…. they need a ducky to make bathtime fun… because if he’s mayor… we will all get hosed….

    If it looks like a loser, and talks like a loser it must be a loser!

    Apparently none of you people have any humor what so ever, hes not serious, maybe if you’d pull your heads out of you ass you would realize this. And another thing you people are a bunch of haters, i’d like to you see you all try and run for mayor and work your ass off all the time, and then still have people like you bitch and complain constantly, no one is ever satisfied.

    What the hell? Way to jump into this conversation a year and a half later, way after Friend got his ass handed to him. Get a life.

    If you dont think we know how hard it is to work on a campaign, come to one of our meetings and see how many campaigns we volunteer for.

    Dear Mike M, your a douche bag. Because you yelled at the person who posted above you, and you also said its a “year and a half later” when yet, your posting also, so therefore that makes you stupid too! And who is this “we” that you speak of, no one gives a flying fuck about your bullshit campaigns, so why dont you just shut up, you would be doing us all a favor. No one cares about your shitty useless opinion!!!

    Concerned Citizen,

    Please stay off our blog if you are going to post comments like the one above. Although this particular blog post is a bad example, we are actually trying to spark somewhat intellectual converations. If you are simply trying to spout out mindless insults, I suggest you post on a different website.
    My comment is also directed toward anyone else who feels the need to write such distasteful things. Instant Messenger, for instance, may be a better atmosphere for that kind of dialogue. Thanks
