"Ugly, ugly" should be reserved for whatever homophobe shite that continues to spew out of Perry's-Pendering-Evangelical-Mug during his re-election bid. The Kim/Clarke allegations are in every political contest. By continuing to allow those low level violations define our local races we can never expect turnout to improve. The lack of differences between the two just allowed those petty issues carry more weight than usual. </p>
