Who says politics can’t be funny?
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon was stumping around his state trying to get his constituents to get out and vote, so he had a staffer take a picture of himself next to another citizen, voting, to tweet out to his followers. Unfortunately, in what can only be described as delirium caused by the Royals losing the World Series, he didn’t notice that the woman voting next to him had her pants down so low, you could actually see a half moon. Talk about getting your butt to the polls.
Here’s the picture:

They’ve since deleted the tweet, but not before political funny-man and pizza mogul Herman Cain could zing the Governor.

No further word from the Governor’s office on this matter, but in light of the issue, soon-to-be former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) allegedly decided to shelve his campaign video “Back Dat Azz Up (To The Polling Booth)” featuring Howard Dean and Juvenile..

Nixon isn’t that big of a Royals fan. He prefers the Cardinals.
Well, it’s not what I expected, but way to continue the butt stuff trend.
