I saw this on FaceBook earlier today…

Just got off the phone with former Secretary of State Brad Johnson. He will announce his 2012 campaign plans at the beginning of Oct. He says he is looking at all his options but he sees the Secretary of State’s office as a great fit for his qualifications.

And those qualifications would be????

– Short-term “serial employment” in the private sector – at least 10 different jobs (with different employers) in about 20 years.

– Losing three major elections – Senate in 2000, Secretary of State in 2008, and PSC in 2010

– Attempting to pay over $50,000 in illegal bonuses to his appointed staff after losing the 2008 election

– Chronic drinking that eventually led to his arrest and conviction for driving under the influence with a BAC over three times the legal limit

If Brad thinks he’s a good fit for SOS – or any job involving the public trust or taxpayer dollars, methinks he ought to take a good look in the mirror…
