Let’s get this out of the way….
Pat Powers mocks Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jay Williams and GOP black sheep and alleged District 19 Senate candidate Stace Nelson for subpar online content.
Yet at the drop of a press release, he fundraises for novice District 3 Senate candidate and Rounds errand-boy Caleb Finck, whose Facebook photos would not rise to Pat’s standards for social media image management:
Whether it’s Hobo Days or just another Friday night, everybody’s entitled to have some fun. But if Finck’s frolicry is fine with Powers, then he should get the heck off Jay Williams’s case.
As for Finck and his potential District 19 Senate primary opponent Stace Nelson, well, I dread the debate they may have over House Bill 1008.
Caleb seems to be enjoying his drag role way too much!
That young fellow almost seems to need to have the Ohmdal head treatment. Which rest room does he use?
That doughboy doesn’t have just one drag outfit. He has a whole drag wardrobe. Where’d he get all those lady clothes that fit? PP lives in Brookings doesn’t he?

And if you like the censored version, here’s uncensored.
Has similar appearance to Texas congressweasel,Blake Farenthold. He of ducky pajama and underage girl fame.
Cripes, how do I un-see that????
I’m with you Loren,
Always appreciate your stuff Corey, but geeez…. lol
Looks to me like our guy Caleb will fit right in Pierre.
On a much more pleasant note. Happy Spring to all
Sign up and run,Spike,run for the lege. That would be worth winning the lottery and moving to South Dakota to vote you in. Might just be the inspiration I need to win the lottery.
I like the picture of Mr. Finck with the you SDSU queen. The makeup he is wearing along with the cameraman’s skill with angles makes his head look way too big even for his body. It is like an optical illusion magic shot. Well done.
Grudz, are you sure that is an optical illusion?? :-)
I guess I don’t really have a problem with any of the pictures.
Being a resident of District 19 I’m more interested in his views. Since he’s a Marion Mike Rounds disciple I’m guessing he’ll talk in vague terms and he’ll say a lot without really won’t say anything.
What will be interesting is how he does in debates against Stace. Stace will surely use the RINO moniker and bring up abortion over and over again. It’ll be interesting how Finck will handle it.
It’ll be fun to go and watch.
Plus I don’t give a crap what Pat Powers thinks.
Spike! Indeed, Happy Spring!
You know, Owen, I can go with you on not minding the pictures. As I said, everyone’s entitled to some fun, especially during Hobo Days. And I certainly don’t care what Pat Powers thinks, since there’s not much thinking there, just sitting up and barking to please his masters. But we owe those who care what Powers “thinks” reminders like the above of Pat’s inconsistency.

That Caleb’s pretty dern cute for a guy. I imagine republicans in his district will vote him in to our pretty dern good state legislature because he probably has some pretty dern good connections.
Caleb probably needs to manage his online persona a little better:

CH,
I think both of you are guilty selectively using unflattering pictures of people pulled from places like Facebook to paint those you disagree with in a negative light.
You don’t get it Troy. Cory is pointing out PP’s hypocrisy here. It’s very low hanging froot in this instance.
Rorschach,
Pat uses unflattering pictures. Cory uses unflattering pictures. Neither can throw stones without being a hypocrite.
You think the pictures of Finck are unflattering? Is it the old lady helmet in the top photo you object to?
Troy,are you suggesting there are flattering pictures of this guy out there?
Troy, Pat uses unflattering pictures. I point out the unflattering pictures that Pat chooses to ignore for his personal and political reasons. You should bring that up at your next editorial meeting (especially since you’re the only one bringing reasonable, principled political commentary to DWC).
Troy, be a good guy and leave a comment on DWC pointing out PP’s hypocrisy, won’t you?
It is not so much about hypocrisy as it is just taking something personal. likely out of context, for a political purpose. My main reason for not liking them is it brings out the worst in people as they pounce on it in ways that don’t serve any discussion of the issues.
While I don’t like the use of such pictures, I don’t recall Pat criticizing Cory for using unflattering pictures but he may have. When he did use one about Jay Williams, I defended Jay as a person and his fun-loving nature (from which the picture appears to have been an example of). While I’ve probably known Jay my entire life but haven’t seen him for maybe 20 years, my earliest memory of him (might have been his brother Bill) was him showing me how to play a board game he had gotten for Christmas. I still remember how “cool” it was to go into a high school guys room. Haven’t thought about that in years. As I think about it now, I think it was just basic kindness as my younger brother and sister were close to his sisters’ ages and I probably had nobody to be with.
You will note that coincidentally on the DWC some posters (not Pat) made derogatory comments about a candidate and her picture today and I did say that it was inappropriate. I don’t know the time but I might have done so before I even commented here.
For the record, I don’t think when CH transposes a politicians face on a cartoon for satire, that is out of line unless it is mean-spirited in a personal way. Humor is a legitimate means for making political points.
Messrs. H and Troy, I really have no problem with pictures in general and feel the flattering and unflattering aspects are probably relative and subjective.
But when Mr. H says that Mr. Troy is the “only fellow bringing reasonable, principled political commentary” to Mr. PP’s blogging site, that is subjective and just downright inaccurate.
The fact of the matter is that Mr. H posts as many unflattering pictures and blogging headlines as the next guy. It’s all about partisan politics and is Mr. H’s right, of course. But he’s less objective than…say…the Argus Leader. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but we should all be honest about it.
Troy, I’ll try to keep those cartoons coming. ;-)
Grudz, I have always been honest about my subjectivity.
