Sorry, No Rape Jokes On My First Day
David Dickerson, a longshot (as in no chance whatsoever) candidate for Senate in Maryland, has set the bar for 2006 campaign implosions . The rugged "citizen candidate" has been brought up on rape charges after he "allegedly ordered a mail order bride from Latvia and repeatedly assaulted her."
And on his "about" page, they seemed so happy...
David's wife is a legal permanent resident from Europe as well, so understanding how to reconcile cultural differences with different religion and thinking has been a part of his life.
Little known fact: In Latvia, the word for "vicious beating" is rekoncilia.
