Paging Doctor Death! The Pages have great news for sodium thiopental industry lobbyists! You may soon have a friend in Washington by the name of Rep. Jack "Dr. Death" Kevorkian! The famed assisted-suicide doctor and convicted felon is now officially a candidate for the congressional seat now held by Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI)!

For those keeping score, Kevorkian would not be the first celebrity elected by the voters of Michigan. In honor of his candidacy, the Pages would like to profile other famous people who held office in the Great Lakes State:

Martha Reeves
Detroit City Councilwoman

Skyrocketed to musical fame and fortune on the coattails of The Vandellas. Accepted bribes in a sordid sludge-hauling scandal.

  1. I hope Kevorkian will pay a numbre of "house calls" to his colleagues in Washington.

  2. The more I hear about Martin Van Buren's Presidency, the more I wish I'd lived to see it. Or that I were dead.
