Brett (douchebag) Favre Appeared in a Campaign Ad (Thad Cochran)

Hoping to appeal to the everyman demographic in Mississippi, Republican Senator Thad Cochran has released an ad featuring a humble, high school offensive coordinator named Brett Favre, who helped lead Oak Grove High School to the state 6A championship last year.

When many politicians focus on getting big name endorsements from governors or captains of industry, you have to appreciate Cochran highlighting the average Joe, no matter where you land on the political spectrum.

It should be noted that Favre does have some local celebrity in Mississippi, as he apparently served as the starting quarterback at the University of Southern Mississippi for four years in the late 80?s-early 90?s.

There is a video of the ad on the link above, if you are so interested in watching it.

1. Astonishingly, Cochran is the less douchey candidate in Tuesday's primary

despite his boasts about fooling around with animals when he was a kid (or was it "with a kid"? ). His opponent is a hardcore teabagger.

And even doing or saying something absolutely crazy, he could probably still get elected.
