Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer -- in a fit of pique or boredom, it was hard to tell which -- announced last week that he had filed a campaign finance complaint against Leon Drolet, the Macomb County anti-tax activist and former Republican legislator now running for state Senate.

Brewer's accusation? That the giant, trailer-mounted pink pig Drolet hauls around to promote his campaign failed to include the "paid for by ... " disclaimer required of campaign signs.

Asked about the charge, Drolet said he believes Brewer has a "very personal vendetta against Mr. Perks," the pig's given name. Mr. Perks is not a sign; he is a registered trailer, Drolet said.

Further, Drolet said Brewer would do well to heed the advice sometimes attributed to Abraham Lincoln about never wrestling with a pig, because "you both get dirty, but the pig likes it."

I should remind folks about the Michigan Democrats trucking in a live donkey to Traverse City in support of Obamacare.  The donkey was led up the crowded sidewalk before its handlers were cited for having farm animals downtown without a permit.  I don't recall the disclaimer "Bar-X'd" on it's backside, though I can imagine that brand exists on Mr. Brewers'.

Hey Mark?  You have some of the biggest donkeys in the country in the Michigan Democrat party.  Just have them run around on a trailer to balance it out.
