Vic Sprouse STILL can't say one positive word about Capito

We noticed Vic Sprouse, the owner of overpriced gyms who "consults" for GOP candidates running on pro-adultery platforms, still can't say one single thing positive about his candidate Shelley Moore Capito.

In a post where Sprouse drew attention inadvertantly to the fact that All Points Bulletins have been put out for the missing Capito (check the country club golf course!), he failed to list a single event Capito has attended.

Not one.

Zero. Zilch. Zip. You know, the same number equal to the number of marriages where he's remained faithful. (But I'm sure this time it'll be different unlike all of the others.)

I bet Sprouse's email is burning up alright, but it's from a fellow Pennsylvanian political consultant for Capito asking him to avoid drawing contrasts between the ineffective and rarely seen Capito with the highly visible and highly effective Anne Barth that make Anne Barth look so much better in comparison.

Holy cow! does Sprouse, who as the former Senate Minority Leader prided himself on being a "back bench bomb thrower", prove once again that when the heat gets hot, the Pennsylvania boys sweat more than the 800-pound lady who Vic wipes up after when she finishes on the weight bench.

As we've pointed out here time after time, Sprouse never lists a single reason why Capito should be in Congress. He's never got a word of praise for her. Just like he can't list where the rarely seen Capito has been.

That silence is even louder than Sprouse's usual sheep-like bleating.

BTW, I've obtained video of Sprouse spouting off his regular rightwing talking points fed to him from the very uncivil Capito campaign.

Spouse is Irrelevant (4.00 / 1)
It may just be me, but I don't think we need to give so much attention to Vic.

First of all, I think he enjoys the attention, and secondly, he is increasingly becoming irrelevant to WV politics.

His days as a Senate leader are behind him, and it seems that any influence he had within the WV  Republican Party is waning significantly.  I'm just sayin'.

Although the snarky comments can be fun. :-)

In a good conversation everyone speaks.  In a great conversation some even listen.


You're probably right on all counts (4.00 / 1)
Although I think this attention is really getting under his skin because he's not accustomed to people calling him on his lies. But he is becoming irrelevant to WV politics, a state with so few GOP candidates that it doesn't need two consultants - probably why he allowed that slur against Abernathy to be on his site until we embarrassed him enough to delete it.

I heard Capito's guy is trying to take over both their territority.

Not gonna happen. (4.00 / 1)
Rumor has it he's taken a job with Fox Noise beginning November 5th as a Senior Anchor Fluffer.

Apparently Fox initially told him he was over-qualified - having blown so much hot air and screwed the public so often while working for SMC - but Shelley's boy responded with "I'm gonna need a job, and heck, sounds like a lot of fun!"

Hmm (4.00 / 1)
Maybe she's up here. She used to come to the Parkersburg area all the time, despite this being Mollohan territory. With that said, we see her more than we see Mollohan.

Why would she be in Parkersburg? That's way out of her district.
