Local Tea Party candidate sues after losing election

Suppose you're a Tea Party candidate for public office. (You might just be! The Tea Party does monitor my Internet posts.) And suppose (shudder!) you lose the election by almost 20 percentage points. What ever shall you do?

No bother! Just sue!

This past November, northern Kentucky's Supreme Court Justice Michelle Keller handily defeated Tea Party challenger Teresa Cunningham. But that wasn't the end of it! Later, Cunningham filed a lawsuit demanding that the election results be overturned. Just because. I can't really figure out why. Because it bips, you might say.

Last month, Kenton County Circuit Judge Kathleen Lape dismissed Cunningham's frivolous suit. Lape wrote, "The factual allegations pled by Plaintiff are absurd, not meeting the threshold of fraud, intimidation, bribery or violence required by [state law]."

This effort may have blown up right in Teresa Cunningham's stupid face. Keller wants to be reimbursed by Cunningham for the legal fees she spent defending herself from this ridiculous lawsuit.

See, the Tea Party can be defeated when we really try.
