There are so many jokes that we could trot out right now (i.e. "Hell, all politicians are schmucks, why not a real Schmuck?")
A candidate for Arizona legislator is finding that his supporters are having their yard signs stolen in alarmingly high numbers. True, typical elections feature some degree of vandalism and theft, but Frank Schmuck's campaign posters are disappearing faster than he can print them...
Schmuck, a decorated Gulf War veteran and Air Force Academy graduate, wondered why people are focusing on his signs....
"You're not stealing from Frank Schmuck, you're stealing from the public," he said.
While funny, this quote from the candidate is actually true. Arizona has a public financing law that enables candidates to buy in before the primary and, in this case, spend the bulk of their windfall on lawn signs.
As one local told us: "We see his signs everywhere. It's hard to keep from laughing when driving past." Watch out, Arizona, some schmuck is causing accidents all over the place...
P.S. According to Wikipedia, in case you didn't know: "Schmuck entered English as a borrowed word from Yiddish, where it is an obscene term literally meaning a foreskin or head of a penis, and an insult."
