I’ve written before about Ieshuh Griffin, the Wisconsin candidate who wanted to use “NOT the whiteman’s bitch” as her description of candidacy on the November ballot. She’s now hit the big time — a mention on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The Government Accountability Board denied Griffin’s request to use that description, and a federal judge rejected her appeal on procedural grounds. See, Court rejects candidate’s lawsuit over ballot slogan: Federal judge doesn’t rule on merits of case. (Griffin had a right to appeal the GAB decision, but she’s completely wrong to think that right meant she could file any kind of appeal she wanted; she’s not entitled to her own, confused legal standard.)
As for Griffin, I thought that she was entitled to use her preferred slogan on the ballot, and the GAB should have allowed her to do so. Candidly, Griffin may be many things, but I’m sure she’s NOT the whiteman’s bitch.
She may have a new slogan, too —
Enjoy.
