Linda McMahon Being Attacked Over The Eugene Character

The Courant has an article up noting that Rob Simmons recently attacked Linda McMahon's senate run by claiming that WWE was inappropriate in its use of the Eugene character played by Nick Dinsmore. Below is an excerpt from the article:
"A day after Rob Simmons attacked Linda McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment, the company she helped build and once led, for insensitivity toward people with mental disabilities, the McMahon campaign fought back.
The issue bubbled to the surface of an already acrimonious campaign between Simmons and McMahon, both Republicans running for U.S. Senate, after White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used a derogatory word for people with learning disabilities.
That prompted the Simmons camp to circulate a couple of YouTube videos showing a WWE storyline that featured Eugene, a character with a mental impairment, being humiliated in the ring.
"Rob Simmons indicates once again that he doesn't understand how to separate fact from fiction,'' Ed Patru, a spokesman for the McMahon campaign, said in a statement. "In the soap opera world of WWE, the character 'Eugene' was developmentally disabled, but rather than the beaten down, pathetic character that Rob presents, Eugene was treated via scripting like all WWE superstars with no special privileges. He competed in the ring or in a steel cage, sometimes winning, but often losing as an underdog. In the end, in spite of any disability, he was victorious and became a hero."

i thought the whole Eugene character was stupid anyway. Looks like it's kinda biting them in the ass.

lol this is to funny

They should be attacking her for the shitty ass wrestling shows they air. I like Linda though.

HEY just wait one god damn minute
Raws musicals chairs was a corner stone for that god damn show....its sucked in comparison since

Does she really think after all the soft porn, racist and stupid programming she and her husband have aired over the past decades she can just run for a position like that without questions??????? Dumb b*****.

LMFAO I hated that character when he was around so this is funny that it is being used against them now.

Reminds me of the time when he was at One Night Stand and had that segment with Sandman......
