Former WWE Boardmember Endorses Linda McMahon's Opponent

Former Connecticut Senator Lowell P. Weicker Jr., who previously served on WWE's Board of Directors for 15 years, has endorsed Linda McMahon's Senate opponent, Chris Murphy. In the process, Weicker ripped Linda for a history of "self-service and no public service with the exception of a couple of meetings of the state Board of Education." He added, "It's the ultimate corruption that says you don't have to earn the senator's job and it's out there on the table for the highest bidder."

Asked if his decision to endorse Murphy has anything to do with WWE, Weicker replied, "My choice has nothing to do, quite frankly, with WWE." A spokesman for Linda's campaign claimed Weicker's "current comments are transparent in their partisanship and represent nothing more than just another one of Chris Murphy's politically connected friends who has been deployed in an attempt to rescue the ethically challenged congressman's flailing campaign."

"It's funny that Lowell Weicker would make such strange comments about Linda McMahon since just two years ago he was quoted as saying Linda had 'a fine mind and is a very decent person,' " McMahon spokesman Todd Abrajano said Thursday. "Weicker's current comments are transparent in their partisanship and represent nothing more than just another one of Chris Murphy's politically connected friends who has been deployed in an attempt to rescue the ethically challenged congressman's flailing campaign."...More?
