The great white hunter

Posted in:

• Illinois

Multi-millionaire Ron Gidwitz wakes up really early, hangs out with regular fellas, dons a goofy hat, borrows a shotgun that doesn’t work and blogs about it on his campaign website:

For whatever reason be it rain, elevated temperatures, too much wind or just plain bad luck, only two geese had the temerity to come within range. On that occasion, I had a regrettable equipment malfunction with my borrowed shotgun. Clark missed but Mike saved the day, bringing both geese down.

The “temerity”? I guess he didn’t pick up on any of the local lingo.

At least that photo is better than the “action shot” of him standing in his hotel room talking to a WGN radio personality Spike O’Dell… on the phone.

1. Wonder if they had time to “chat” about his slum in Joliet where real people are getting shot with real guns while he rakes in big profits to add to his family wealth.
