I don’t know much about Keith Fimian, the Republican candidate for Congress in Fairfax County, Virginia, but I kind of like the tag line he ends his [TV ad](http://www.wikio.com/video/537518) with:

> GERRY CONNOLLY
> 
> 
> TOO CORRUPT.
> 
> 
> EVEN FOR CONGRESS.

As it turns out, though, he’s [probably not.](http://www.dcexaminer.com/local/33665129.html)
