Meet Richmond, Virginia mayoral candidate Donnie Corker, aka Dirtwoman. If elected Dirtwoman pledges to get the prostitutes off the street and dress in drag every day. A little more dirt on Dirtwoman:
Reared in Oregon Hill, Corker literally made his name in politics, becoming legendary for crashing the gates — and getting arrested — at the gubernatorial inauguration of now-Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder. Oh, and there was a little incident where he left that “deposit” in the back seat of a Richmond Police car.
Now a born-again Christian whose voting rights — revoked for a decades-old felony sodomy conviction — were recently restored by Gov. Tim Kaine, Corker says he mostly refrains from his drag queen get-up except to draw crowds to the annual Hamaganza charity benefit in November, where he appears as a not-ready-for-primetime (or Christmas time) Miss Claus.
If Stephen Colbert can run for Prez, why shouldn't Donnie Corker do a little mayoral campaigning. We say, bring it on Dirtwoman. We're sure Richmond, VA could use a little drag and sodomy. But, honestly, who couldn't? (via Joe.My.God.)
