Russ Carnahan's congressional campaign today debuted an online video game featuring Republican challenger
Ed Martin. Dubbed
"Ed Martin is Hackman" the game is a riff on the '80s mainstay Pacman.
Carnahan communication's director
Angela Guyadeen says of the game: "
The website uses a funny theme to highlight
the seriousness of Ed Martin's personal bailout, costing taxpayers $2.4 million
dollars for destroying government emails, firing a whistleblower and then trying
to cover it up as Governor Matt Blunt's chief of staff."
Last week
Daily RFT touched on some of the same themes in a post
highlighting the irony of Martin's recent FOIA request for emails from Carnahan's office and suggesting that the congressman has destroyed such documents.
As for the the video game? It's fun. But, like real life, no matter how many times you think Ed is dead, he keeps coming back with three new credits and a brand new life.
