Blueman: Brian Davis needs some postage stamps

In Coleman Ad Implies Brian Davis Unfit For Congress, Blueman blogger Hal Kimball lays out some prime snark:

With the revelation yesterday that Brian Davis was fined $1,237.05 for late property taxes every year between 2003 and 2007, Davis continues his downward spiral in the 1st Congressional "race".

"It's something that has come in the mail, and between my wife and [I] it's taken a while to pay it," said Davis. 

Perhaps Davis or Biers ought to call the Bachmann people. Instead of wasting her time on postage stamp analogies of ANWR, she could actually send him some postage stamps to pay his property taxes.

Charlie Quimby, who ripped the analogy yesterday in Postage Stamp on a Football Field? More Like a Pile of Horsepuckey, would likely agree.  Go read the rest at Blueman.

We do have one caveat to the Blueman's post: the $13,000+ in contributions wasn't missing from the Olmsted County RPM treasury during Davis's watch, just the paperwork that documented it. "Incomplete bookkeeping" subsequently required the committee's next treasurer to work with Minnesota Campaign Finance staffers to clean up the records.

But we do have to agree with Hal about something. Between the late tax payments (because they "come in the mail"), the calamity of service as Olmsted County RPM treasurer, Davis use of dubious facts and exaggeration, and the failure to register a vehicle and to pay the ticket--leading to a suspended drivers license--we second the Blueman's questions about Davis's readiness for federal office.
