Don’t Vote for My Dad, Mr. Mantooth
Jan Schill of Oklahoma, along with her husband, took an ad out in the local newspaper (Purcell Register) to tell voters to not vote for her father for the position of district judge. Schill’s father, John Mantooth, says that his daughter is just upset about her parents’ 1981 divorce.
Mantooth, in a three-way race for a post that will judge cases in three Oklahoma counties, did not help matters by running campaign ads showing himself as a family man and a father of three daughters with grandchildren, Andrew Schill said. (Reuters)
Despite the interesting father-daughter story, the more intriguing aspect is the fact that the father chose to keep the last name Mantooth. Jan Schill should have simply pointed that out as proof of the man’s poor judgment.

Did he LIE when he said he has three daughters and grandchildren? Why would that make things worse? And did I miss the part where it was explained WHY people shouldn’t vote for her father?
This just flew over my head for MYRIAD reasons.
The reason it made things worse is that he tried to present an image of himself that is not accurate. Clearly he’s not much of a family man if his own daughter hates him that much. So, as a voter you might wonder what other misrepresentations he has made.
Dorothy Mantooth was a SAINT!!
BeanPod, you’re an idiot, STFU
If his own daughter hates him i’m guessng he’s a total dickhead.
But then again most dads are asshats so there ya go
Wow Shorty that Anchorman reference just flew right over your head, didn’t it?
Well the whole point of this article was to make fun of this guy’s last name, hence the last paragraph. So you kindly shut the f*ck up, Shorty.
The article is the set-up, the final paragraph is the punchline. It makes fun of the man’s poor judgement, that was previously hinted to in the quote and intro with information about his marital success, his factual PR adventure and his loving offspring.
Maybe the next one will be about your dashing demonstration of comprehension.
It is nice to see such clear and precise writing with wonderful grammar, that first paragraph is spotless – after all, sarcasm wouldn’t work if the author couldn’t be bothered to construct a sentence correctly ;)
Well glad to see that this article is like so many others…leaving out important parts so that we come to the same conclusion as they did. What made this man so horrible? If he is so terrible how come only 1 of the 3 daughters isn’t speaking to him? Maybe she has a hard time letting things go. It is a good thing she is perfect & won’t do anything that will make her children unhappy.
Did you bother to read any of the other comments? Just wondering.
