Police are still looking for signs of lipstick.
Was it a real hockey mom? Who has time to check for lipstick when the thing lunges at you? How can you really tell?
From The Dallas Morning News:
Democratic judicial candidate Ken Molberg was attacked and bitten multiple times by a pit bull Saturday while walking a southeastern Dallas neighborhood as part of his party’s organized effort to turn out Democratic voters.
Mr. Molberg, a Dallas lawyer who is running for the 95th Civil District Court post, was going door to door on Lake June Road with fellow candidate Judge Don Adams when the attack occurred shortly after noon, local Democratic Party officials said. He was bitten on the upper leg and groin.
Steve Tillery, executive director of the Dallas County Democratic Party, said Mr. Molberg was walking up to a house and saw the dog through an open door. The dog ran out and attacked him, he said.
Mr. Molberg said he punched and kicked the dog then hopped onto a car to get away from the animal.
He said he received 17 stitches at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and has about eight open puncture wounds. He was home by late Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Molberg is the most senior member of the party’s State Democratic Executive Committee.
“My crack to the family that helped me was that it must have been a Republican dog,” he said.
The candidate said the wounds will keep him out of commission for a while, but he’ll continue to talk to voters – by phone.
“I think I got a bunch of votes in the emergency room,” he said.
Molberg is famous for his cowboy hats and for his staunch support of the Democratic Party. His candidacy is endorsed by the Dallas Morning News.
