Karin Tanabe, a blogger for Politico, has a strangely funny little gem today about drag queen RuPaul cashing in on the similarity of his name to candidate Ron Paul — and heading to New Hampshire to play it for all its worth.
Here’s a portion of Tanabe’s blog:
“RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, is on his way to the Red Arrow Diner in New Hampshire to spread his message. What would that message be? The host of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ on cable TV would like to promote a little love and remind folks in The Granite State that he is not 2012 candidate Ron Paul.
“RuPaul explained to Politico: ‘I’m going to N.H. on a mission to spread love and set the record straight: contrary to recent reports, I am not Ron Paul. And I am not running for President of the United States. I hope to meet Ron Paul in person so we can be seen together to put the rumors to rest once and for all.
“… RuPaul described himself in a press release as ‘not a political person by nature,’ but added, ‘any time a man leaves the house in a wig and a pair of cha cha heels, he’s making a political statement. Let us not forget that this great nation was founded by a bunch of men wearing wigs.’”
