Texas Congressman Invites Ted Nugent to State of the Union

Stockman, a hardened conservative in his first term representing a swath of Texas stretching from the outskirts of Houston to the Louisiana border, sees in Nugent an ally against increased gun control, which Obama is expected to address tomorrow night. Nugent was invited "because he is a supporter of the Second Amendment and American values," says Stockman's spokesman Donny Ferguson. "We thought he would be a good representative."

Donny Ferguson? I've heard that name before.

Learning from the master of corrupt politics himself

Donny Ferguson, former aide to as yet unindicted Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), is the subject of a fascinating investigative story by PBS Frontline showing how Donny has applied the lessons of dirty politics, smear campaigns, and dubiously legal fundraising pioneered by his mentor Delgaudio.

Donny, as many Loudoun residents know, is the mastermind of periodic sleazy robocalls which attempt to spread dirt on candidates just before an election. Because his “American Tradition Partnership” claims to be a “social welfare non-profit” organization, it is allowed only to “educate” voters on “issues,” not endorse candidates. It is illegal for such organizations to coordinate with campaigns.
