Last week, Linda McMahon, WWE CEO and wife to Vince, formally announced that she would enter the Connecticut Senate race. One of the biggest obstacles she'll face in a crowded Republican field will be her 30-year association with professional wrestling, especially, as The Fix's Chris Cillizza wrote at the time, "...the sort purveyed by Linda's husband Vince -- is heavy on lewd storylines and the constant whispers of steroid abuse" So how do you run for national office while tiptoeing around how you spent the previous three decades of your professional life? Glad you asked. (Via Hugging Harold Reynolds):
That's right, you just talk up the fact that you started a business, point out that it's now publicly traded, and throw in the part about said business creating jobs in Connecticut. Oh, and you don't actually mention the name of the company.
