We know absolutely nothing about the gubernatorial race in Michigan, but this flier that landed in our inbox supporting Republican candidate Dick DeVos gives us all the information we need at a glance: incumbent Governor Jennifer Granholm has allied herself with the darkest, most nefarious forces of liberal Hollywood evil, and she must be stopped. We immediately understand the campaign's efforts to tie their Democratic opponent to Madonna, whose recent headline-grabbing purchase of a foreign orphan is a clear affront to family values and anti-immigration advocates (not to mention her open practice of scented-candles-and-red-string witchcraft), and bullhorn-wielding troublemaker Michael Moore's inclusion on their list needs no explanation, but Scorsese? Haven't these people seen The Departed? Maybe the Republicans think voters believe that anyone who can coax a scene-stealing performance from Mark Wahlberg is clearly in league with Satan himself.
