We revisit one of our favorite candidates of all time, Muhammad Ali Hasan, son of GOP heavyweight donors Malik and Seeme Hasan. You might otherwise know him as “the next fucking state representative.” And for God’s sake, don’t point at his girlfriend, though that’s probably not a big deal now that she withdrew the restraining order.
But apparently girlfriends aren’t going to be a problem anymore for Mr. Hasan. In a story that proves once again his title of Master of the Terrible Press, the Summit Daily News reports:
A Republican candidate for the state House has taken a vow of celibacy that precludes dating, following a jestful suggestion from Summit County party officials.
“I wanted to disagree,” Ali Hasan, 28, told the Summit Daily News. “They said they would take away their endorsement. So I guess that kind of makes me a bit of a monk.”
Hasan is running for state House District 56. He said Wednesday that he made the decision at the party’s state convention in May, and he’s sticking to it – until January.
Local GOP leader Debra Irvine said no demands were made of Hasan regarding his love life, but she takes credit for the joke.
District 56 incumbent Christine Scanlan, a Democrat, was surprised to hear about Hasan’s plans.
“Oh my goodness,” she said. “That probably falls in the ‘too much information’ category. Yeek.”
Uh,
State Republican chairman Dick Wadhams said Wednesday that he wasn’t aware of Hasan’s decision not to date, nor has he ever heard of such agreements from state candidates.
He also said the race could be surprising, as Hasan’s running an aggressive campaign.
“He has a good shot at winning his seat. The Democrats have already decided they cannot lose,” Wadhams said.
Wonder what makes them think that?

He’s definitely not:
I do believe you’re right. 🙂
Once he BECOMES the next State Representative he’ll be making up for lost time and probably going at it like a bunny.
College Interns! Honestly, with his history I wouldn’t want any of my lady friends regardless of their age around this creep.
be the only ass that Dick Wadhams isn’t going to be ramming anything up.
Have a sense of humor.. Good to see.
because his girlfriend filed a restraining order against him!
she used to post on here…..haven’t seen her on here in a while
Nice one, Representative Scanlan.
is probably what she was thinking

What is it with these guys?
Hasan and Armstrong both look like they have had too many late night shots of tequila. Look at their eyes in their ads and photographs. I bet that Wil Armstrong is one big time party animal. The other Will is just plain slow.
his black, outer space wallpaper in his room in his parent’s house isn’t doing him any favors.
Imperial Stormtrooper in the corner.
Has anyone noticed whether there has been an increase in calls to 911 from despondent women?
Does the celibacy extend to inanimate objects?
Other species?
Other orifices?
Are Hasan’s own hands exempted?
Because inquiring Republican minds really need to know ALL these things in order to evaluate their candidates.
Even Larry Craig and Ted Haggard would meet that test.
But David “You Want a Date?” Vitter probably couldn’t.
In case you missed Naomi Zeveloff’s withering expose on Hasan titled “Is This Muslim Republican Mr. Right or the Big Cheese?”, in Westword last January, here’s the link: http://www.westword.com/2008-0…
Christine Scanlan, the incumbent representative who was appointed to the HD 56 seat at the start of the legislative session this year (along with Douglas Bruce), has performed with distinction.
The question to be answered in the contest with Hasan is can a quirky rich kid convince enough voters in Summit, Eagle & Lake Counties that he could do a better job than a professional with years of nonpartisan public policy mediation experience (at the Keystone Center for Science & Public Policy) to win?
I think not. Though with Hasan’s giant ego and penchant for publicity, he won’t go quietly into the night. It should be an entertaining race.
Has anyone shipped this story to Leno? There is so much ammunition for a comic that it could carry him into November.
put away the courvosier because the ladies man is OFF THE MARKET !
for someone to be a bigger embarrassment? THis is a race where even I would vote for a Democrat to get rid of this guy.
Please go away.
Who’s the bigger embarrassment, this guy or the incumbent GOP Rep in HD 15?
Tough call. I have to give the douchebag edge to Hasan. At least Bruce came up with TABOR. I’m a big fan of TABOR. It’s going to protect us from all you Dems until we can get a little more balance in the gov. here.
🙂
It’s Iraq, and as soon as everybody sees how expensive it is to unionize everyone, it will swing back.
Got to protect us from those evil Unions. Such a drain on our ecomomy. HA!
BTW, what does Iraq have to do with Doug Bruce?
HAHA. Right.
“I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women… women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.”
Reminds me of Rumsfeld. Sitting in his ivory tower, watching the world burn.
…we just keep on going and knocking on doors
is probably what you hear when you knock on a door.
..knockin’ on doors and then not puttin’ out.
