Wisconsin GOP candidate touts sex with Green Bay Packers in campaign
CNN/AP: Candidate touts sex with Packers in campaign
October 10, 2006


Wisconsin secretary of state candidate Sandy Sullivan published a collection of her memories of an affair with Packers great Paul Hornung.

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- Sex! The Green Bay Packers! Sex WITH the Green Bay Packers!

The usually ho-hum race for Wisconsin secretary of state is being spiced up by one candidate's naughty tell-all book about her bed-hopping exploits with Green Bay football legends during the team's glory days under Vince Lombardi in the 1960s.

Sandy Sullivan, a 65-year-old Republican with no political experience, self-published a gushing memoir in 2004 titled "Green Bay Love Stories and Other Affairs" in which she claims she was the girlfriend of Green Bay Packers Paul Hornung and Dan Currie, deflected a pass from Hall of Famer Don Hutson and was on the receiving end of a saucy comment from Richard Nixon.

If the book is to be believed, the Packers did a lot of their scoring off the field, and Sullivan got her share of playing time.

In football-crazy Wisconsin, it is unclear whether the book will be a gain or a loss for Sullivan, who is not given much of a chance of beating Secretary of State Doug La Follette, a 28-year incumbent and a member of one of Wisconsin's most distinguished political families. But the book is getting people talking....

9. And if elected, I promise to sleep with prominent politicans to get what
this state deserves. Seriously woman, you're honesty should be applauded but your tactic of using it as a springboard, only drives home this point. Republicans are the party of family values hypocrisy.

12. We had a terrific progressive candidate, Scot Ross
who lost the primary to the incumbent. This is a funny story, but its not funny to think of a flake like this being 2nd in line to the governor's seat in our state.

13. I've been giggling about this story all morning long.
I especially love this part: "She also fell for Currie, a Packers linebacker. ("SIGH! One would have to be in a coma not to want him," Sullivan wrote.) She later married Currie's dentist, Matt Sullivan. He died in 1984."

She couldn't get Currie to marry her, so she marries his dentist???
Sorry folks, but something is very wrong with that picture...
Add to that the supposed Milhouse "cherry" comment.

Priceless, absolutely fecking priceless. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

14. She told Don Hutson he was "a relic from the past"???
So today, that makes her.....? :eyes:

Old news in WI - this book has been around a while. And, apparently, so has she. :boring:

She said that the girl would come in the next morning looking like something the cat dragged in.

18. And what happened to morals?
So now it's a good thing to talk about sleeping with a bunch of people? I wonder what the family values crowd thinks of that.

20. More fine Republican Values on display

And contrary to the reporter's take on it, I think it's fairly clear we're not that football-crazy. No matter where you live I don't think you get any street cred for being a football "groupie" (there's a better word but if I use it the post will be deleted) .
