NPR: Doug Wormington For President

Doug Wormington For President

A Hawaiian man in an earthworm costume goes on the air with a campaign ad of sorts. "Doug Wormington" declared himself the Earth Party nominee for President last week. According to CMAG, this spot is airing on Honolulu's ABC affiliate, KITV.

A little bit of bio from Wormington's campaign website:

With no money for food, he was forced to eat the garbage and food scraps that fell into the dumpster. It was during this darkest point in his life that Wormington was struck with an epiphany: that he, a lowly worm, had the power to turn waste into nutrient-rich vermacast.

A truly presidential skill. The site says that Wormington's memoir, "Worm Wisdom," will be published soon.
