I don’t believe it. Scott Maddox, of all people, is thinking about running for Commissioner of Agriculture here in Florida!
What do we have to do to kill this political hack? CROSS POSTED FROM FLAPOLITICS.COM
This is the guy whose dysfunctional mismanagement of the State Democratic Party almost ran it into the ground. How about a quote from Karen Thurman, his successor and the current head of the state party, soon after she took over and had a good look at the books:
The internal controls in this office were absolutely, unequivocally the worst
And now he wants to be put in charge of a major state agency? Puh-leeze.
Back in 2005 he thought he could run for governor but dropped out when reality hit him in the face. But, like the mindless zombie he is, here he is back for more!
For the full lowdown on Maddox’s sordid provenance, read this wonderful piece by St. Pete Times correspondent Adam Smith. You might have to take a shower afterwards, though. Sleazy politics ain’t pretty.
So why is Mr. Maddox thinking about running for Commissioner of Agriculture? What in his background would lead him in this direction? I guess Chief Financial Officer was definitely out of the picture, even though there aren’t any declared Democratic candidates yet.
I suppose the guy has passed by some orange groves while driving down the Florida Turnpike. That’s probably enough for him to think he’s qualified. The ego of these people never fails to astonish me.
Where’s Shaun of the Dead when we need him? We need to stop Maddox before he infects the entire Democratic slate.
