Pitkin County sheriff's candidate Rick Magnuson made a video last year that shows him masturbating in the Mojave Desert and the 41-year-old Aspen patrol officer said yesterday that he is proud of the film.
Since Magnuson announced his candidancy, it has been my contention that this is simply a publicity stunt. Magnuson has long been a publicity hound and this is yet another in the list of escapades in which he has engaged to put his name before the public.
He allegedly stole his own piece of "artwork" which resulted in newspaper coverage. He drove around the roundabout for over 6 hours (more than 1000 times), filming a gold fish bowl on the dashboard which resulted in newspaper coverage. (Of course, it is a small town so the bar for meriting newspaper coverage is pretty low.)
He has even returned campaign contributions which, in my mind, bolsters my conclusion that he's not running with any intention of trying to win, but just to increase his name recognition.
He's running as the ethical, honest candidate but he used "pretexting" (can you say Hewlett-Packard?) in order to try to trick Bob Braudis, the incumbent, into revealing that he was away at a spa/rehab center.
Braudis for Sheriff!
