A Jesus-y Christian Republican with a fetish? Who didn't see that coming! Hah!

I misread the last sentence of the article as : The local erection is in November.

So, prison time "finally woke [him] up to some things", heh ? I wonder which things.

I'm so proud of my state. First the creepy pedophile radio host, and now this dude. Pure Michigan!

Cranking? I would have put $1000 bet down that was about drugs...who would have thought?

"Men think of themselves as cars."

(I know it's not exactly MY comment. But I can't let this fine bit of simile rest ignored by the Sloggy public).

Frankly, I see this as pretty unremarkable and harmless, really.

@6 Well, yes, with your own car. A bit more remarkable and harmful when you are breaking into and vandalizing county vehicles to do it.

I think we can place entirely too much emphasis on youthful indiscretions. I'd hate to have my collegiate shenanigans held against me. But, then again, I've never been arrested or gone to prison so I think I kept it to a dull roar.

I blame Michael Bay.

Hell, what Michigan voter wouldn't support a candidate who loves automotive culture that much.

Doesn't he look like he's holding something in his mouth? And what could it be?

@7 Compared to the shit priests have been and are still getting away with, that we let get away with, this is nothing. Pay a fine and be on your way, pal.

@ 2 - Sissoucat, you should do a search for "Stephen Harper" and "Erection" on youtube.
Sorry, non-French speakers...

I'm perfectly fine with anybody having their own personal pervy nature as long as it's not harming anybody else but why the hell didn't he just do it with his own car? Jerk off in your garage until you can't get your hands unstuck from the gear shift for all I care but don't go fucking up other people's cars.

@7, I agree that youthful indiscretions should mostly be ignored in politics but if you want to leave your childhood behind to run for office maybe your tagline shouldn't be "Saginaw's boy legislator". It kind of implies you haven't grown up yet. Come to think of it, nobody should use that tagline.

Just...wow...forget the fetish, look at the arrest and conviction record...do they not vet these people at all? Clearly, if they did, the fetish would have disqualified him. Still...really? Is this "someone just like me" or "someone I want to have a beer with" politics?

I know this is funny, but all I see is a person burying their somewhat charming fetish (who the fuck ever heard of cranking?) into religion and feeling enough shame to join a party where shaming every human thing is normal. Come on, dude. Start a chat room about cranking and meet other crankers. And feel better.

The whole point is that he's a Jesusy 'pub. It's his own standards he's violating, not those of the much more enlightened Slog readership (SB and a few others being the exceptions that prove the high intelligence most of the rest of us possess).

Hey Bailo! That was actually funny. Strong work.

@2 THAT'S JUST RACIST! (HULK THINK YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WRONG ERECTION!)

Hmm ... wonder what the motor sports crowd favors in the lube department.

@14: He's been cranking to that car for years. You know how it is when you're in a long-term relationship: things get stale. In my opinion, he should have just gone online, rather than cheat with someone else's vehicle. That shows low moral character, and it will matter to voters.

@ 25 - I love the bit when he complains that Canada has had too many erections... like, you know, five or something!

Shame on you, Dan! Republican or not, you are an advocate for safe, healthy, guilt-free sexual expression. How shameful of you that you would promote such an article ridiculing a sexual expression just because the fetish-er is a republican.

@27 Dan is an advocate for "safe, healthy, guilt-free" AND CONSENSUAL "sexual expression".

We're talking car-rape, here.
