Truth to Power

The punk rock Republican?

Jimmy Camp, a tattooed punk rocker with a history of drug abuse and theft, is one of California’s most reliable Republican political operatives, according to a column in Tuesday’s Orange County Register.

“Maybe it isn’t uncommon for a rock musician to live on the streets of L.A. and San Francisco, to drink to excess, to take a lot of drugs, to rob people out of desperation, to get stabbed in a seedy hotel room, or to disappear for days while loved ones don’t know whether you’re dead or alive,” writes Register columnist Frank Mickadeit. “But it is uncommon among Orange County’s in-demand Republican political campaign managers. And that’s what Camp is.”</p>

Weird. Just dang weird. Somehow, I can’t see him getting many converts in the pit at a X show…</p>
