What *is* it with Democratic candidates and sex offenders? #minnesota #MN08

You would have thought that House Rep. Rick Nolan (Minnesota-08) would have learned from Martha Robertson‘s fail and not decide to use convicted sex offender Peter Yarrow for a campaign event.  Apparently not: “U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan canceled his appearance Friday at a fundraising reception that originally had been paired with a concert by entertainer and convicted sex offender Peter Yarrow.”  Largely because of the NRCC’s rather pointed commentary:

As Hot Air notes: it took forever for the Nolan campaign to give ground on this. Eventually.  Through gritted teeth. I guess that Rick Nolan really, really wanted to hear “Puff the Magic Dragon” performed live.
