Catching The Starr Bug
(2 of 2)
If Beasley is in trouble, it's also because he sometimes treats truth as less than a close relative. Addressing Christian athletes, the Governor claimed he had run the 100-yd. dash in a Superman-worthy 9.5 sec. He also maintained, incorrectly, that he had earned a degree in microbiology. His worst tactical mistake may have been the decision to air, beginning two weeks ago, an ad against Hodges showing his opponent's face morphing into Bill Clinton's as an announcer intones, "There's a difference in what he says and what he does...Remind you of anybody?" His Democratic challenger's response: "Beasley reminds folks of Bill Clinton a lot more than Jim Hodges does."
