‘Jack the Dripper’ Running for Congress?

According to a news source, “Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a prominent United States advocate for the right-to-die for terminally ill patients via physician-assisted suicide, stated on Wednesday that he intends to run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.”

“‘We need some honesty and sincerity instead of corrupt government in Washington,’ Dr. Kevorkian said while announcing his bid to represent Michigan‘s 9th congressional district.” In an age in which we need more right-to-life candidates, we get this.

The piece added, “He was released [from prison] in June of 2007 on parole due to good behavior.” I am persuaded by the argument that we should give criminals more time for bad behavior, not less for so-called good behavior. But I digress, as this news story is twisted enough.
