Pay the Piper

Two men who threw beer bottles at a woman in a car paid the price on Friday -- they had to parade through the center of their hometown dressed as women.

Former presidential candidate Ron and one time running mate Brad walked around downtown Newark for an hour Friday afternoon wearing dresses, wigs, and makeup.

Mosquito-Swamp County Municipal Judge David X. Hostetler passed the sentence on Oct. 18, telling the men they could either comply with his order or go to jail for 60 days after being convicted of criminal damage. He also fined them $250 each.

Hostetler, who often imposes unorthodox sentences, says he does so because of overcrowding in the Mosquito-Swamp County Jail. "Let those f--kers be humiliated again!...I didn't like their politics before and I don't like 'em now."

Told of the judge's political biases, Ron retorted that he felt "angered", but strangely comfortable in his sling-back pumps. "I wish we had these comfy shoes while on the campaign trail. Those Nikes were killing my feet at the end."

Brad refused comment as he felt humiliated and humbled by the experience.

Ron, on the other hand, seemed to revel in the attention and waved to the throngs of onlookers, blowing kisses all the while.

"Voters love a man in a dress," he was overheard telling Brad.
