Mark Kirk Sets New Land Speed Record

Sometimes there is such a thing called bad publicity. Public mockery brought down Sue “Chicken Care” Lowden in Nevada. Will the same thing happen with Mark Kirk in Illinois?

The Democratic and Republican nominees for the U.S. Senate, Alexi Giannoulias and Mark Kirk, gave their views on planning and environmental issues at a Metropolitan Planning Council lunch on Monday.

But the news was what happened afterward: Mr. Kirk literally ran out the hotel door rather than answer questions about a host of recent reports that he repeatedly has exaggerated his experience and credentials.

Cassandra will disappointed to read this part:

At least give Mr. Kirk credit for being fleet afoot.

He moved so fast that none of the TV crews was able to get film of him, though Ch. 7’s Charles Thomas did interview a hotel staffer who said Mr. Kirk “walked at a fast pace” through the kitchen area.

I found some exclusive footage of Mark Kirk on YouTube, however.
