Brad in Drag

Jersey City, New Jersey, April 7, 2004:

A candidate for U.S. Vice President rejected calls to withdraw from the race after photos of him in women's clothing began circulating.

Ronatarian Party #2 man Brad said he "will not succumb to blackmail" from opponents who are trying to use "very old, personal information" to force him out of the race.

"Now my opponent is using the private information in an attempt to intimate that I am a homosexual, which I am not," Brad said in a statement Tuesday.

His "opponent" apparently seems to be multi-time presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche currently remains on the Democratic Party ticket as a presidential candidate, so vying for another party's vice presidential nomination is baffling -- as well as unprecedented.

Ronatarian presidental candidate Ron has never wavered from his support for his long-time political partner Brad. Huge shockwaves of surprise would ripple through the nation if Ron did not officially choose Brad as his running mate at the Ronatarian National Convention. The Ronatarian Party has not announced a convention date, location, or confirmation that the event will actually take place.

The Democrats hold their primary from July 26 to July 29 in Boston, Massachusetts.

LaRouche denied direct involvement in the "outing." He said his campaign staff learned of the photos and alerted the media. He added, "I don't think it is a well-guarded secret that Brad likes to play Hide-the-Salami."

The photos were apparently obtained by a company that repossessed a mobile home registered to Brad, according to court records.

Brad said his family and friends had "dealt with the [issue]" and he apologized to supporters for any embarrassment caused by "a small part of my personal past."

"I've grown since that time," he pleaded. "Really."
