This is despicable and wrong on so many levels. It just churns the stomach!

PALLONE FOR SENATE ENDORSED BY LAUTENBERG FAMILY
STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY OF SENATOR FRANK R. LAUTENBERG:
“Frank Lautenberg followed three fundamental principles as New Jersey’s U.S. Senator: stay true to his progressive values, put New Jersey first, and be a workhorse, not a showhorse. After he announced his retirement, he spoke often about his desire that his replacement in the Senate respect those core principles and continue his work.
Deciding which candidate to endorse was not an easy decision. Most of the candidates in the Democratic field have proven themselves as hardworking, progressive leaders who care deeply about New Jersey. But only one of them stands out as ready to continue Frank Lautenberg’s progressive leadership in the U.S. Senate. That candidate is Congressman Frank Pallone.
We are saying: Stick with Frank.
Frank Pallone, like Frank Lautenberg, has always looked out for working families in New Jersey and made them his top priority – in fighting for economic justice, healthcare reform, environmental protection, education and so many other issues. Frank Pallone, like our Frank, will put in the hours and hard work necessary to fight for New Jersey in the Senate. And Frank Pallone knows that gimmicks and celebrity status won’t get you very far in the real battles that Democrats face in the future.
Frank Pallone worked with Frank Lautenberg for many years. He understands what it takes to take on and defeat Republicans and the special interests that attack the well being of working families. While it may not always attract glamorous headlines, Frank knows that to be effective you must put New Jersey and your principles first, not your own glory.
When New Jersey Democrats examine the Senate candidates closely, they may be surprised to find out that not all of them share core Democratic values or loyalty to the party. And one candidate stands out as the best hope of continuing the progressive legacy of Senator Frank Lautenberg – Congressman Frank Pallone.”

A very funny and a truly classic endorsement of a political candidate from a celebrity.
Comedian and "home crafts expert" Steve Martin, endorses Bob Kerrey (D) for U.S. Senate in his race to once again become Nebraska's Senator.
(hat tip - Political Wire)
Steve Martin has some great reasons for endorsing Bob Kerrey in Nebraska's U.S. Senate race, but you'll have to watch to find out -- and you might just learn something. About home crafts. Stand with Bob at www.bobkerrey.com/stevemartin
