From St. Petersburg, Florida, comes a story that would be an excellent April Fool's Day story…except it's not, as far as we know. But it is perfect for our long-running feature, "At Least They're Not Your Legislator."
According to Saint Peters Blog, conservative Republican Jacob A. Rush is challenging first-term GOP Rep. Ted Yoho in Florida's CD-3. While he's running to the right of the Tea Party favorite, Rush is also really, really, really, really creepy. You really should read the whole story, but here's a tidbit:
What the slick [campaign] video does not mention is that Rush – as “Chazz Darling,” “Staas van der Winst” and a host of other roles – was a long-time member of the Mind’s Eye Society, otherwise known as “Camarilla.”
Mind’s Eye, or MES, is a nationwide community of gothic-punk role-players who come together to take on personas of vampires and other supernatural beings (known as Kindred), dealing with night-to-night struggles “against their own bestial natures, hunters, and each other.”…
…Images that remained under the attorney’s name range between the utterly childish and truly unsettling — especially for someone wanting to be a serious “law and order” GOP congressional candidate who leans to the right of the Tea Party.
For example, images not erased — unlike one deleted photo uploaded in 2009 titled “Put on my Rape Face” — illustrate a disturbing spectrum, ranging from the silly and mild to unsettling portrayals of bizarre, ritualistic scenes of the occult, book burnings — even a succubus.
Now you have heard of a "succubus," which is some sort of sex demon or something (yes, we just wrote that sentence). Don't say you never learned anything on Colorado Pols.

Of Course, I have heard of a succubus. The Oxford English Dictionary includes this usage: "Sarah Palin is generally regarded as Satan's Succubus."
Things must be really going to hell in Hell if the Prince of Darkness is having to stoop that low??
Meh. Not IMHO a big deal; I know my share of LARPers (Live Action Role Players), a whole bunch of SCAdians (classified by the FBI as the second largest paramilitary organization in the country and a neo-feudalist organization), and a few Vampire types. I can't get in to the site to see the pictures, but unless they're truly out there, I'm not going to pile on someone for having an imaginative personal life.
We might have given him the benefit of the doubt…up until the "rape face" part.
