Pat Leahy finally has a republican challenger: Scott "bunny fucking" Milne
This inept idiot came close to winning the last gubernatorial race here, but that was all backlash against Shumlin. Leahy will chew him up and spit him out.
The New Candidate For A New Millennium, Scott “Mr. Bunny” Milne, is off to an inauspicious start. He doesn’t have a campaign website yet, so there’s no established way for supporters to, like, give him a campaign contribution. He has yet to hire a single staffer. And he acknowledges that he has yet to formulate positions on some key issues.
Plus, at last Saturday’s VTGOP confab, he was a tad underwhelming. The Freeploid’s Terri Hallenbeck:
He then launched into a story about raising rabbits as a kid and how his out-of-state relatives enjoyed watching them breed, prompted by the premise that he got his rabbit cages in Wolcott, the town where Berry lives. In the parking lot afterward, Milne wondered how well the rabbit story had gone over with his audience. He has three months before the primary to weed the rabbits out of his political speeches.
Aww, bunnies.

Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Milne hopes to unseat incumbent Sen. Patrick Leahy in the November election. Two years ago, Milne challenged incumbent Gov. Peter Shumlin and almost won that race. Now he hopes to defeat seven-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy.
"You know maybe once every 42 years it would be nice to try a new horse," Milne said. "I think that our incumbent senator epitomizes being a career politician and a Washington insider."
There was some initial confusion if Milne was committing himself to this race because his press release said he would "continue to talk with Vermonters as he explores a potential candidacy."
Milne says there's no question that he's running. "Yes unless I get hit by a bus or some act of nature, I'm in," Milne said. Milne says he's planning a formal campaign kick off in July.
