Ron, Picasso and Budweiser

As pressure mounts on Illinois gubernatorial candidate Ron Gidwitz to pull his slam ads, he continues to assert that he is just regular Ron trying to help the little guy.

And to prove he is just like us, the New York Times is reporting today that he and his family are selling their original Picasso, valued at fifty million dollars.

“I am so street,” said Gidwitz. “This painting is so bizarre, and, besides, I think Picasso was a liberal.”

“This is a win-win,” commented Gidwitz spokesperson, Francis Cotter Wilson Wellington III. “Some of the profit will help Mr. Gidwitz take additional classes on how to drink a Bud, understand Nascar and talk to people of color.”

When asked about the intended sale, fellow GOP candidate Bill Brady told CBS2 Chicago reporter Mike Flannery:

“I have never met this Mr. Pichacho, but if he is liberal, I don’t want his vote.”
