Equinox of the fall Silly Season


It's the equinox of the fall Silly Season.

Your Dome correspondents have sifted through a number of ridiculous claims and counter-claims since this election began, but we haven't posted some because, well, we had slightly better things to do.

That said, we had a few quiet moments this morning and wanted to share them with you:

POTTYMOUTH PAT? The Perdue campaign would like you to hear the clip below of Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory — they say — swearing in a WPTF interview Wednesday. We honestly can't tell if he's saying what they say he said.

SATANIC CONTRIBUTION? The National Republican Senatorial Committee would like you to know that Democratic Senate candidate Kay Hagan received a donation for $666 around the time of the fundraiser hosted by the founder of the Godless Americans PAC.

LICENSE TO DRIVE? The campaign of Hagan would like you to know that Sen. Elizabeth Dole's "ElizaBus" touring the state right now has a Tennessee license plate, though we're here in North Carolina.

Should we have devoted the waning minutes of the campaign season to digging deeper into these stories or were we right to move on? Let us know in the comments.

Re: Potty Mouth Pat

The proof is in the proverbial Playboy Pat's potty mouth now! No one with any sense believes he said anything but sh**t. Sorry, but I've said all along he does not make sense and mispronounces words, but this time, he got sh**t just right. It goes just like this (listen as you read this), "Which is, which is...Sh**t, there is no quote me ever saying that, whatsoever". (quote; end quote). Sorry, Pat's Pawns, but his sentence is clear; there is no "she has"; instead he says "there is" (sh**t is definitely the expletive it was meant to be)
What a great role model for our children.

Re: Equinox of the fall Silly Season

I'm always enthusiastic about a good four letter word utterance, but it sounds like he's saying "she has no quote of me every saying that." If he were saying "Sh*t" where I think he says "she has" the sentence wouldn't really make sense.

I'm really disappointed, though. It would have been such an important contribution to the political discourse we're all enjoying here if we could have an audio of him cussing.

I wonder who will do the cussin' on election night.

It definately sounds like he says "she has no quote of me ever saying that"
