2008: The Campaign Without Teenagers
Monday, April 16th, 2007

Duncan Hunter’s Son Duncan Hunter Now Just Doing His Dad’s Work For Him
Monday, March 26th, 2007
An emailer claims to have caught Duncan Hunter’s son Duncan Hunter pretending to be his congressman dad this last weekend. Though we’re pretty sure that’s not against the law — the district voted for Duncan Hunter, not necessarily that Duncan Hunter, right?
Presidential candidate and former HASC chair, Duncan Hunter, was outside his office Friday practicing his golf swing at some length….while his son (also named Duncan Hunter) sat in on meetings in his Dads office — inc meetings with VERY high ranking military officers.
There’s a hilarious story in here about the time our uncle Dick accidentally deposed the prince of Cambodia during a White House tour mistaken identity switcharoo in the ’70s, but it’s a bit long to get in to here.
More speculation, including claims of presidential campaign impropriety (horror of horrors!), after the jump, as always.
