Politics Wamp Steps Up TV Analogy Attacks on Haslam

- Rin Tin Tin took orders from Rip and Rusty.
“Bill Haslam didn’t run Pilot Oil. Goodness gracious. He’s a sissy wannabe. By comparing my opponent to old TV show characters, I will demonstrate this fact to the people of Tennessee,” Wamp said, adding that he will do so every day until the Republican primary on Aug. 5.
Wamp launched his new campaign initiative by likening the Knoxville mayor to Rin Tin Tin, the world’s most famous German shepherd dog.
“Rin Tin Tin was a great dog,” Wamp told reporters. “Courageous, frankly. But you wouldn’t put him in charge of the Cavalry post, would you? No. He’s a dog. Bill Haslam is Rin Tin Tin, honest to goodness. He’s a great dog. Wags his tail. Bites the bad guys. But he’s not a leader.”
Next, Wamp said he will compare Haslam to Opie Taylor.
