Feingold’s Number One Convict Supporter
Posted Friday, June 27, 2008 at 5:22:20 PM
I was closing up shop the other day at the Daily Scoop (unless you really like ice cream it’s not worth the inevitable wait) when Herald Managing Editor Jason Smathers stopped by. He told me he was there “to make fun of my shirt” — a green and white “Russ Feingold for President” T-shirt I had found at Goodwill in October. Although the slights against our ultra-liberal favorite son were in some way expected, what was quite unexpected was Smather’s reference to the maker of the shirts, a man named Dennis Denure. I googled Denure later the next day and quickly discovered why I found the shirt at Goodwill and not in the “historical section” of the Democratic Party website.
Anyway, if any of you are in for some enlightenment, or maybe just a good laugh, you should read about Feingold’s number one supporter here.
Some highlights —
— Denure was actually born “John Michael Denure” until he changed his name to “Dennis Amadeus Denure.”
— He spent time in a maximum security prison in Iowa for DUI and plans to sell his art, prison clothes, and “unopened mail” (?) to help Feingold become president.
— He has run for mayor of Madison on several occassions, and has a great photo of himself with Joe Sensenbrenner.

Dennis also tried to start a Feingold museum, and wants to create the "Museum Mile" in Madison. He trademarked the phrase "Make Sport Not War." He has a bold new idea to make video games about video games, that Feingold does not endorse or understand.
