DeVos Off His Rocker on Off The Record

On this week's Off the Record, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos proved himself to be a rambling, incoherent mess of a politician - refusing to offer any specific proposals or policies while repeatedly attacking Governor Granholm. He said he would refuse to take a "no tax" pledge, and then he did just that - having it both ways within one minute. Time and again, he attacked our Governor on the issue of jobs, stressing the need to have a leader who understands businesses - and yet, he was unwilling to offer even a passing criticism of the state legislature or our national economic policies (both of which serve to weaken progress made by Jennifer Granholm). But ultimately, listening to DeVos, the founder of Amway/Alticor, talk about creating good, sustainable, well-paying jobs is like having Ken Lay tell you how to protect pensions.

I can't take my eyes away from Dick here...I just...I dunno. I feel like I am watching a train wreck right before it happens. Like, the guy is gonna become unhinged and totally flip out.

Great picture Zack!

What I especially like is anytime long-time Repubs are saying things like what this person from KZoo says:

Hey Zack, Dick DeVos didn't found Amway. His father Rich DeVos did. You know this to be true, because Dick couldn't find his own butt with both hands.
