Vermont tea party frontman Paul Beaudry has indicated he will be leaving his far-right True North radio duties at WDEV to run as a Republican for the US House of Representatives against incumbent Democrat Peter Welch. He intends to make a formal announcement “on or before” April 26th. He will face a primary on the GOP ticket from Springfield businessman Keith Stern, who has run for office in the past as an independent and has indicated he may step aside if a stronger candidate emerges. Beaudry referred to Welch (and Stern) on the radio as “a fine gentleman.”

But, I don’t think there will be much of an effort by Welch to hold him accountable for that. That’s the problem.
Beaudry, who’s been taking a perpetual crap in his pants every day since 9-11 is giving bloggers an early Christmas present. Nothing better than a high-profile wingnut candidate, I tells ya.
Hey it’s a 2for. It gets Beaudry off the air and provides the Republicans with another “can’t win right-winger” candidate. Life is good!
