Can you provide us with some before and after photos, with and without the padding, to verify your statement, please?
All kidding aside, can we possibly get another GOP candidate to replace Kirk while there is still time? He is no longer trust worthy. How about that guy, Scott Cohen, who won the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor and then cried with his kid when he withdrew? He won't have much success running as an Independent and should be available.
"People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked. And if one gains the immediate purpose of the lie - the price one pays is the destruction of that which was intended to serve. The man who lies to the world, is the world's slave from then on."

hi CatMan,
Did I say "more padding"? I think I meant to write "more paddling".
Also I'm surprised there is no Independent in the Senate contest, running to the right of Kirk. Someone is missing a bet there.
