There’s a three way race in the Republican primary for the State Senate seat in south central Missouri.

It got a little nuts this week when one of the candidates decided to run a rather clever negative ad claiming that neither of his opponents have backbones.

He used pretend x-rays with the backbones removed and his opponents’ heads put on top.

The dirty minds arrived with Karla Eslinger’s sideways x-ray. Check what would be her left hand.

Holy cow, she had a fit!

“I am saddened my opponent, Robert Ross, would attempt to diminish my accomplishments and who I am by putting a photo of my face on top of a skeleton that included a depiction of a male appendage,” she said in a statement. “I would welcome Rep. Ross refocusing his campaign on issues that matter to most voters like jobs, education, and healthcare rather than pornography.”

Clutch those pearls, Karla!

She does know that a male appendage is not actually a bone, right?  Quick, somebody tell her or this could get embarrassing.
