Candidate Mails Fake Kevorkian Certificate

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho -- A one-time Idaho House of Representatives candidate won't face criminal charges after mailing his Republican Primary opponent a fake certificate for one visit to Dr. Jack Kevorkian.

Mike Adams resigned Tuesday as a precinct committeeman in Bonneville County and will no longer be the county's voting representative on the state GOP central committee.

Bonneville County prosecuting attorney Dane Watkins Jr., said Adams would not face misdemeanor charges of making a threat against a state official because the law requires that a specific threat be made.

Adams challenged Rydalch in the GOP primary last year, but dropped out of the race a month before the election. Rydalch won the seat by 351 votes. Two months later, Rydalch reported receiving a death threat.

In a personal column published last week in the Post Register, Adams admitted sending the certificate. He apologized and said it was meant only as a joke, but Rydalch clearly didn't see it that way.

Rydalch said she was "scared to death," when the certificate arrived in the mail.

1. At least he has spunk

Personally, I would have prefered cash.

Gift certificates are a hassle.

2. Kevorkian would have done it for free.

I don't think Kevorkian has much use for the Repugs.

3. When Bushco starts sending Kovorkian Certificates to our young

people to make them go to Iraq, then there will something to be "scared to death" about. As for Rydalch, Drama Queen.

4. Yet another Republican class act.
