Steve Muratore, the blogger has kept a close eye on redistricting for months, is now picking through the applicants for the new applicants for the chairmanship of the Independent Redistricting Commission, should the Arizona Supreme Court decide against taking action to reinstate Colleen Mathis.
He’s found a number of Tea Party plants, including a registered sex offender. Check it out here. (I misread Muratore’s blog entry and screwed up; none of the IRC applicants is a registered sex offender, although Muratore notes that one of the most vocal opponents of the IRC is.)

I will. I am right for the job:
My snow globe gets 24 inches of fresh powder annually.
Regardless of temperature, you can never see my breath.
My Turduckin consists of a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey . . . back inside the original duck.
I have never relied on mistletoe.
My New Year’s resolutions would blow your mind. That’s why I don’t tell anyone.
I am the reason those nine ladies are dancing.
One should never shake my gifts. Just trust me on this one.
