Herschel Walker, Senate Candidate, guest blogger Brian Rhodes

Now that Herschel Walker is running for U.S. senate, liberals have begun their inevitable attack on him. I just saw one person refer to him as a pea brained idiot. Uh huh sure, a pea brained idiot who overcame a speech impediment and bullying as a kid and then went on to become valedictorian of his high school class, a Heisman trophy winner in college, a professional football player, an Olympic athlete, an mma fighter, and a successful business man who started renaissance man foods in 1999 which he’s now grown into the largest minority owned poultry company in the United States providing jobs and financial security to hundreds of people. He also bought into a drapery company in North Carolina that supplies curtains for hotels across the country, and has helped to grow that company exponentially through his involvement. In addition to that, he founded H. Walker Enterprises, LLC and started his own promotions company out of Atlanta that works with Fortune 500 companies on promotional goods. What’s more, is that he’s actually hands on and serves as chief executive for all 3 of his companies. But yeah! Just some dumb former athlete right!?- Brian Rhodes

Diane notes:  He also did all of his athletic achievements without ever lifting weights. He did sit ups and push ups and simple things like that to strengthen himself because he couldn't afford to train at a gym or own weights when he was younger.
