'This is a baaaaad look': Well, Beto O'Rourke may have just 'locked up the furries vote' [video]

OK, we seriously wish we had access to Beto O’Rourke’s journal entries for this:

Well, yeah. Obviously.

“Our persona was that we were a very famous band from New Zealand and we didn’t want people to know our true identities—that’s why we wore masks,” Ailbhe Cormack, the band’s bassist, tells Mother Jones. “I think people followed along with the mystery of it, but they knew who we were.”

…

The costumes varied. Aisling Cormack, on the audience’s left, dressed as a nun and played keyboard; Arlo Klahr, a former bandmate from Foss, played lead guitar; Joey Cazares, wearing a bunny mask rather than a sheep’s head, played drums. Ailbhe Cormack is on the far right. As of Wednesday, the video of this performance—which included a rendition of the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop”—had 53 views on YouTube.

The Sheeps had a short run. The band played three shows around El Paso between 2003 and 2004, “just for a lark,” according to Cormack. The group never toured. At its final show, in 2004, at a local club called the T-Lounge, band members wore brown paper bags over their heads—because some members had lost their sheep masks.

news isn't all bad, folks! and if you *don't* think this is interesting idk what to tell you

2020 General, ready to go
I wanna be debated
I'm here to woo, my name is Bet-o
I wanna be debated

Just get me to the White House, It's where Obama went
Hurry hurry hurry, and make me President
I can't control my drinking, I can't control my car
Oh no oh oh oh oh

Does this mean Beto locked up the furries vote?

— Glenn Amurgis (@gamurgis) January 23, 2019

At least he’ll have one constituency he can count on.

THAT'S MY PRESIDENT. https://t.co/u4qR6BZtlH

Someday we’ll look back and say, “Remember when it looked like Beto might be the nominee?”, and laugh.

That day is in like two weeks.

Who’s responsible for this getting out?

Who wants to bet Kamala dropped this on Beto? pic.twitter.com/Vj3MUx081d

Inquiring minds wanna know.

Meanwhile:

First I was shocked that Beto spent $75mil and still couldn't beat the most hated man in America, if not the world.

But now that I know he's a thin skinned emo furry who can't handle parody, I understand.
