Illegitimate U.S. Senate candidate Annette Bosworth showed how much she cares for South Dakotans by making a point of taking my hand Saturday night and telling me, "I'm sorry for the things that happened to you as a child."
The only problem is, I couldn't figure out what dreadful childhood things she was talking about. Moving to Lake Herman down the shore from Gerry Lange? No, Lake Herman was nice, and Gerry was a decent neighbor. Not getting to keep that pet skunk? No, I think I'm over that. Mom and Dad not letting me drive to Sioux Falls until I was 18? No, they were right, since I still got a speeding ticket the first time I did that drive. What could Annette mean—
—oh my stars! Then I watched Gordon Howie TV, and it hit me. It was my separation at birth from my evil twin, Howie blog minion and Pennington County Commission candidate Ed Randazzo:

The receding hairline, the regal nose, the greying whiskers, the sharp sartorial sense, the passionate commitment to liberty... aaaahhh! The lights! The men from the sky! Samantha!!!
I'm all verklempt. Give me a few minutes to recover Dr. Bosworth's skillful hypnotic regression therapy....
I'm so happy for you...maybe Bosworth does that with everybody in order to look sympathetic and kind on top of that evil, Republican black heart.
So now we know how you got to where you are; what about Boz? What monumentally dark past has brought her to this strange and twisted life?
Also, it occurs to me: how do we know Ed is the evil twin? Just sayin'...
I bet all you have in your vest are the non-pocket-protected pens. Mr. Randazzo probably has a loaded pocket pistol, a copy of the Constitution and a Gideons Bible in his vest.
And as to poor Dr. Haber, or Bosworth-Haber, or Bosworth, or whatever her name is, I'm sorry for the things that happened to her employees and business associates as adults.
Cory,
As I said to you on Facebook, this all could have been avoided if you accepted Chad's invitation to sit with him and the doctor.
Partaking vittles with Bosworth would have been a heck of an experience.
I'm sorry for what is happening to her children's lives. That is sad.
Ed = Bizarro Cory. :-)
What Rorschach and Dan said.
Plus, what she did was just skin-creeping icky. In addition to a giant insult/belittling of anyone who really did endure an abusive childhood.
I can't believe she's fallen even further in my respect. I didn't know I had any Lower for her to go.
My concern for her children is the only thing that's gone up.
Cory, I hope nobody got a picture of you two holding hands, I can only imagine the right wing batshit crazy stuff they will come up with. Marriage wrecking libruls, what ends they will go to, to stop Gods candidate. LMAO
Cory, my heart cries for you not being able to drive to Sioux Falls until you were 18. I had to be that old to drive the car two miles into town on Saturday night, and then I had to park in front of my aunt's house and walk a couple blocks to the main drag to meet my girlfriends and walk the street like we had done for four years. My brother, who was two years younger got to take the car to other towns starting when he was 14. My folks felt if he had car trouble he would know more what to.
Seems like Dr Bosworth has had her share of troubles with the South Dakota medical board. Even required to see psychiatrist/psychologist then failed to comply. She also hired an unlicensed PA and was required to be mentored. Is this what SD wants representing them? https://login.sdbmoe.gov/Public/BoardAction/GetBoardActionDocument?DocID=168057900&LicenseeID=18375966
