Chicken Suits Banned Near Nevada Polling Places
Monday, May 24, 2010
Voters in Nevada will have to leave their chicken suits at home when they go to the polls this year. Elections officials decided to ban such attire to prevent opponents of Republican Sue Lowden from making fun of her recent fowl remark about health care. When asked how the country should deal with high medical costs, Lowden advised patients to barter with their doctors like they did in the “olden days” when “our grandparents would bring a chicken to the doctor.”
Lowden is hoping to win a crowded GOP primary and take on Democratic Senator Harry Reid. Democrats responded to Lowden’s suggestion by launching a website, Chickens for Checkups, and dogging her campaign events with volunteers in chicken suits.
