John Mantooth kandidiert in Oklahoma, USA, für das Amt des Richters. Soweit so gut. Nichts ungewöhnliches. Aber John´s Tochter, Jan Schiller und Ihr Ehemann haben eine Kampagne, unter dem Motto: “Do not vote for my dad” ins Leben gerufen.

John Mantooth is not a good father
.. is not a good grandfather
& [..]
He would not be a good judge”

Geil nicht? Eine politische Attacke der eigenen Tochter. Nun geht das ganze aber auch über dieses obrige Anti-Wahl Plakat hinaus. Ein Blog namens “Do not vote for my dad” wurde die Tage gelauncht, in dem bis dato ein paar Link zu Fällen sind, bei denen John angeklagt worden ist und eine skurille Geschichte über mit Würmern gefüllte Pralinen:

After a delightful lunch, I unwrapped the chocolates in anticipation of a quick dessert before returning to work. Also offering a chocolate to one of my friends, I took a quick bite. However, upon recognizing an unfamiliar and unpleasant taste I yelled in shock for my friend to stop. My deepest momentary fear was realized when a survey of the remaining chocolate revealed the remains of the numerous worms and weevils that had long ago devoured the aged chocolate.

The following day would find a slightly enraged voicemail from John Mantooth who had discovered that I was under the erroneous assumptions that the gift was for me. He wanted to clarify that the rusted golden basket, pocket knife, stale potpourri and worm-ridden chocolates were not for me, but were in fact for my wife, his second daughter, for Christmas! He did not want her to think she was forgotten! The slight humor I had originally felt quickly turned to anger and a renewed sadness for the years of such indifference my wife had endured.
