Lest anyone think that this election season couldn't get any weirder, enter the latest character to make his way into the Meg Whitman-Jerry Brown race for California governor.

Last night Whitman's spokeswoman, Sarah Pompei, used Twitter to attempt to disparage  Brown.

"SD Cnty Sheriff Assoc says @Whitman2010 4 gov! RT: @Murphy4MegNews: CA Cops get it: Jerry Brown is too soft on crime," Pompei tweeted and included a link, PolitiCal reported last night.

Small problem: She left out a letter in the link, and when the hyperlink-shortener company bit.ly got hold of the incorrect URL, the Twitter followers of Pompei were sent to a cross-dressing bass-wielding Korean phenom who goes by the moniker H.J. Freaks, who apparently is a YouTube star.
