Linda McMahon running against Dodd

If you thought the Republican primary for Senate – a race already shaping up as a multimillion dollar intramural competition for the fringe right-wing among assorted Bush lackeys, Ron Paul acolytes, out-of-step cultural conservatives, and stumbling unimpressive has-been pols – couldn’t get more ridiculous… well, it just did:

Linda E. McMahon is a mother, philanthropist, member of the State Board of Education, and CEO – as well as occasional performer – of the multimillion-dollar World Wrestling Entertainment empire.

Now she’s also a candidate for U.S. Senate.

McMahon, who is 60 and lives in Greenwich, is joining an increasingly crowded Republican field hoping to oust the man many perceive as the Senate’s weakest incumbent, Connecticut Democrat Christopher J. Dodd.

The chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. says she’s seeking the Republican nomination to run against Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd.

Linda McMahon announced her candidacy Tuesday, saying Washington is “out of control” and Dodd has “lost his way and our trust.” McMahon says she has the experience and strength to stand up to special interests and bring much-needed change to Washington.

The 60-year-old Greenwich resident is up against three other Republicans – former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley. Dodd plans to run for a sixth term next year.
