A candidate for the Duluth City Council election sent this to me last year and I counseled him not to send it to anyone else lest it offend voters. His e-mail had Hillary Clinton in the lower right corner.

When I was going to college the most popular insult among the student politicians for an idiot was “horse’s ass.” So, I thought it was entirely appropriate to put a representative of that class of people in the corner to demonstrate the power of makeup. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
