House Democrat Can’t Spell “Unconstitutional” — Literally

by Stephan Tawney on October 25, 2010

Congressman Tom Perriello (D-VA) is locked in a tough re-election campaign against grassroots-backed candidate Robert Hurt. Recent polls show him lagging behind the Republican challenger, and that’s bad news for the incumbent when we’re just days away from polls closing. So you would think Perriello would avoid stupid mistakes. You’d be wrong.

Hey, you know what you never do when your opponents accuses you and your party of ignoring the Constitution? Make a dumb error like misspelling the word “unconstitutional”. Especially if the misspelled word is set to appear in an attack ad you hope will sink your rising opponent.
