As if politics weren’t enough of a circus, an actual clown is running for City Hall in Boston. Pat Payaso is running for an at-large City Council seat, and donned a full-blown clown outfit in a newly posted campaign video – complete with a red nose, face paint and a rainbow wig that’s more than a little creepy. According to The Boston Herald, Payaso, whose last name means ‘clown’ in Spanish, will appear on the November ballot with seven other candidates. The candidate’s bizarre YouTube video -- set to standard, high-pitched circus music -- is largely devoted to mocking money in politics. According to the Herald, City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George said Payaso is making a “mockery” of the election.
