Tom Tancredo has largely flown under the radar with his campaign, but The Thom Hartmann Program reported some interesting new developments today. Tancredo is obviously modelling himself after Grand Moff Tarkin in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. This week in Iowa, Tancredo announced his plan for deterring terrorist attacks on the United States: destroy Muslim holy sites.
That’s right. Blow up Mecca. Blow up Medina.
Tom, have you ever seen Star Wars? Nuking Alderann didn’t put the Rebel Alliance in their place, and blowing up Muslim holy sites would be even less effective. But, your plan is getting you the media attention you weren’t getting before.
Tom, you didn’t have to go to this silly length to get attention. Pink Raygun has been trying to pay you some positive attention since May 30th when we sent the Geek Survey to your campaign staff.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
