Erskine's Trunk of Funk

The race between Erskine Bowles and Richard Burr for the NC Senate seat being vacated by John Edwards has been surprisingly quiet and low-key so far. Local coverage here has been scarce (and mostly focused on silliness); national attention has been almost non-existent. But Erskine's on Wonkette's radar.

Hotline's Last Call asked: "Erskine Bowles said this weekend: 'You are looking at one jacked-up candidate!' Is his campaign being run by Hans and Franz?" We wonder if Hotline is being run by Lorne Michaels. "Jacked-up" is really more of a "pimp my ride" term. Bowles is tricked out, not pumped up. We especially like the little neon runner that they've placed on his undercarriage.

In all seriousness: Could someone please pimp out our man Erskine? A little disco ball, maybe? A fuzzy steering wheel cover? At the moment, we fall asleep just looking at him. . .
