What the Plummer picture doesn’t show … that shirt was given to Jason after 3 failed attempts at spelling “kiss” correctly on his own …

Does that say “kiss me I’m genormous”? That could explain the general’s expression.

Plummer is one of the first congressional candidates in the country who had a facebook account while in college (there’s another kid running from california this year who is 25) at a time long before anyone ever imagined he/she would be running for office or that some opposition researcher would be searching for their st patricks day (I know u of I does it early I don’t know what they call it though). Schock graduated in 2002 or 3 or something before it went mainstream in winter 2004 and I think Kinzinger is also too old to have had it while still in his “formative years”. Plummer does not strike me as someone who spent his friday nights reading up on V.O. Key and first past the post so I would imagine there’s a lot more where this came from as well as messages/emails people still have.
In the future this may really really deter or prevent future candidates who had teens and 20s and (in bush’s case 30’s) like our last 3 presidents given the pictures, messages, and emails engaged in compromising positions or advocating certain ideas.

The picture of Jason Plummer was cropped, due in part to the Kilt he was wearing ….

To be honest, that has to be just about the tamest Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day photo ever posted on facebook by a U of I student.
Also kudos for spending it at Murphy’s and not Kam’s or C.O.’s.

I agree with OneMan. Folks are gonna have to wake up and realize that these candidates were once people too.

Also his glass appears to have ice in it… So unless he drinks beer with ice (ugh)…

Well, shore, what’s fair is fair. Same should then apply to those with whom our elected officials associate–especially the peoole they appoint as chairs of their boards.

I knew Jason when he was in college, he didn’t drink, not a drop. You’ll notice his cup is a water glass (from Murphy’s in Champaign.)

Jason, Thinking …”I knew that vote on the U of I Student Council was big, but big with the ladies too???”
“General, you want us to rewind the part where they sweep the leg out from under ‘Daniel-son?’…”

Well, there’s a problem.
Any word from his first roommate?

Congratualtions(?), I guess(?)
What is NOT known, is Jason, since age 6, has been voting …He is crazy like that.

While the shirt said Jason was 25% Irish, when the girls asked him “what quarter is Irish?”, Jason responded, “This Half” … and that was that.
“General, Jason Plummer called, he wants to debate … on TV …”

When the girls “asked” for their kiss from Jason, he told them to close their eyes … and gave them each a Thimble …

This should disqualify him from running for office.

This, in fact was Jason’s low point … he was up to 4 waters a night … his Aqua drinking was getting out of control, and no one was there to help. Jason was lost …
The cupcakes with the sprinkles and stars … those are for you General …

Crystal Ball, now an MSNBC commenter, had pictures showing her dressed up as a sexy elf and some compromising positions with a fake Santa. Jason and others will be just fine.

The good General may have the trump card when it comes to goofy expressions, but at least when the photo was taken, the General was actually of legal drinking age..
