Maybe Alan Keyes should set his sights on Broadway instead of Washington.
As part of a local news story that aired Wednesday, the new Republican U.S. Senate candidate delivered a soulful rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for the camera, complete with vibrato and sweeping hand gestures that would make Judy Garland proud.
Keyes–a tenor, by the way–was one of several singing politicians featured in a story broadcast by CBS 2 Chicago. Producers used archive tapes, and a newsroom source could not confirm how recently Keyes’ performance was taped.
Maybe Barack Obama would forgo a debate for a talent contest?
