Dudley Snags The Comedy Central Vote

A lengthy write-up in the New York Times' sports section was enough to catch the attention of the satirists at Comedy Central. In a posting on the cable channel's political blog, the jokesters write: 

Oh, this old story again: The six foot eleven inch ex-NBA player with the Yale degree and the type 1 diabetes runs as the Republican candidate for governor in a state composed primarily of lumberjacks and lesbian hippies.

The writer, Sara Benincasa, goes on to note that Dudley supports some traditional lefty causes and that his wife is also named Chris. She concludes:

A million votes for Chris Dudley, the other Chris Dudley, and their adorable giant children, now.

Of course, the last Oregon candidate to catch the attention of a basic cable channel didn't win when the real votes were counted up.
