Michael Vaughn is running to keep his seat in the Maryland House of Delegates. The personal bio on Vaughn’s official campaign helps explain why he deserves one: Representing the Prince George’s County–based 24th District, which includes portions of Landover, he’s racked up a slew of community service and political accomplishments, like being named deputy majority whip and co-chairing the Task Force on the Minority Business Enterprise Program.

There’s also a compelling nugget about his athletic background: “Michael Vaughn played professional football for the Dallas Cowboys for 3 years.”...

We have no record of him playing for the Dallas Cowboys,” says Jancy Briles, spokeswoman for the Cowboys. Briles says she also checked an NFL database, and learned “they don’t have a Michael Vaughn listed as ever playing in the NFL, either.”...

:wtf:

But wait, there's more...

I came across Vaughn’s alleged NFL career last week, while fact checking a story about Dan Snyder’s cigar bar at FedExField. Vaughn had co-sponsored a bill that would have given the establishment, called the Montecristo Club, an exemption from state anti-smoking laws, and I had looked into his background trying to find an explanation why a lawmaker would do Snyder a favor like that. The bill sponsorship made sense when I saw the NFL experience listed on Vaughn’s resume, but I removed that from my cigar bar story when I couldn’t verify that he had actually been with the Dallas Cowboys for a day, let alone three seasons.

:rofl:
