VOTE FOR NOSFERATU

The GOP celebrates diversity:

His family made a fortune on men's work clothing. But it's Sam Walls' apparent fondness for women's apparel that is dividing the Johnson County Republican Party.

Walls, 64, is in the April 13 GOP primary runoff against Burleson real estate broker Rob Orr for the House District 58 seat. As a leading businessman, former Republican Party chairman and benefactor of Harris Methodist Walls Regional Hospital, Walls seemed the odds-on favorite to win.

But then pictures of Walls in women's clothing -- several of which were provided to the Star-Telegram -- began circulating late last week around Burleson and Cleburne, rival towns on opposite ends of the district.

Here’s Sam in men’s clothing. Could a picture of him in a dress be any more damaging?

Odd how certain people look like villians from The Lord of the Rings - Wheelchair Willy was a dead-ringer for Saurman. This doofus looks like the Lord of the Nazgul when you're in the wraith-world.

Aw, c'mon. The guy's a lumberjack and he's O.K.; he sleeps all night and he works all day. He cuts down trees, he wears high heels . . .

IF this guy ever becomes president, Madame Tussaud's people would have an easy time with this one.

Not that the representation would be life-like, of course.
