NO! Mary Denny Not Seeking Re-election

What will do? Where will we turn? We've relied on Representative Denny every time we've been desperate for a punch line and now she'll be no more. We're crushed. Let's take a look back at some of our favorite Mary Denny moments...

  • Mary gets married
  • Mary enjoys free speech

    Don't worry, PD. I'm sure whoever gets elected in that district will give you plenty of material. But she was special, all right!

    Yep she was special. She looks like Skeletor.

    Wonk, you're thinking of Rep. Crownover, who's still running for reelection. Rep. Denny looks more like a Hummel figurine (http://www.mihummel.com/collection_detail.asp?link=1&ItemID=837).

    Nah I'm sticking with Skeletor.

    well, at least the old bag will leave with a first place medal in tastelessness: getting married in the house chamber just hours after the place was packed for a memorial service for a recently killed colleague. niiiiiiice.

    With Denny gone its one down and two to go. Can't understand how Myra Crownover still retains her seat. If worthless legislators are defined by the term "furniture", then Crownover is the entire bedroom suite.
