Ohio Republican Angrily, Tearfully Wants To Be Stark County Treasurer [UPDATED]

Evan Hurst September 09, 2010

This video is going viral, so we might as well post it here. This is truly astounding. Introducing Phil Davison, everybody!

UPDATE: The video has been made “private” on YouTube, but oh, lookie here.

[h/t Oliver Willis and Josh Holland, who asks if "this hilarious buffoon" is "the angriest white guy in the year of the angry white guy."]

You will be very upset to learn that he did not win his nomination.

That little sh*t must have gotten the video taken down.

I’ll find another copy.

Since I can’t seem to “Like” the posts on this site anymore, I’ll just have to say, in the comments section, that this insanity is highly entertaining.

Did he take crazy pills that morning or something?

Um, there is a problem with the “like” feature today, wherein you can’t click it from individual posts, but if you are at the blog’s home page, you can click “like’ on all the pieces you want. Go, try it!

He sounds like a drunken Bill Murray.

All that drama and he’s just running for treasurer. Imagine what he might do if he ran for governor…

By the way, I loved his tool gesture and the slick way he turned his imaginary screwdriver into a weapon…..and the sheep-like Republicans all clapped when he finished. And they still want us to believe they think for themselves.

Whoa. Who the f*&% is going to vote for this mental case? It’s Glenn Beck on PCP.

This needs autotuning, so bad!

Whoa. Who gave him a Master of Communication?

I love how he pauses from his tirade and glances at his notes, storms out for a sentence, and then shuffles back again. Over and over. Seriously, you don’t even need sound to enjoy the ridiculousness.

Was he on something? Churchill was not this passionate on the floor of the House of Commons after the Blitz. For treasurer? Wow.

Imagine a debate between this guy and Alvin Greene.

Um, he’s a little nuts no?

I think they only clapped out of fear in case he was waiting in the parking lot.
