running for Senator in Maine

it's hard

to run for public office these days,

whether mayor

of a small town,

or to become a Senator

in Washington.

apparently

it's frowned upon to have

a Nazi tattoo on

your chest,

or to have many allegations

of domestic

violence in your past.

you no longer can cheat

on your wife,

or send nude photos

of yourself

to people on dating sites

while still

married.

you can't even threaten to kill

people anymore

if they break

into your house

and do unnatural things to them.

and to top that,

you can't be antisemitic

either.

they've set the bar so high

these days.
