Tommy Gun Gorman

Congressional hopeful Pamela Gorman wants you to know that she can and does shoot guns. Lots and lots of guns. Capitalizing on the pretty lady–automatic weapon combo that works so well for Sarah Palin, Gorman used this video in her bid for the GOP nomination in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District. But this seemingly endless montage showing Gorman discharging lead into the desert wasn't quite explosive enough; she failed to overcome a crowded field of Republicans vying to replace retiring Representative John Shadegg. We'd make a firearm-related pun or two at her expense, but Gorman already used them all in her video (caliber of the candidate, a pretty fair shot, right on target). Plus, the tommy gun is intimidating.
