That Crazy Sure is Contagious

Here's a political story that doesn't involve Sarah Palin, though if the polls keep trending the way they are, I can see the McCain campaign pulling this sort of stunt:

Death rituals. A voodoo priestess. A cancer-causing curse. A Cobb County Police report details the lengths Cobb Commissioner Annette Kesting allegedly was willing to go to get even with her political rival.

Kesting wrote $3,000 in bad checks, allegedly for the services of a "high priestess of voodoo" to prepare an untimely demise for commissioner candidate Woody Thompson. Kesting wanted the priestess, identified by authorities as George Ann Mills of Blythewood, S.C., to cause Thompson to "catch cancer" or "have a car accident" according to a police report obtained by WSB-TV.

"It is very bizarre," said Thompson, who soundly defeated Kesting in a runoff earlier this year. "I find it almost hard to believe."

I love it. How do you catch cancer, anyway?
