POLITICS: Christopher Walken Not for President 2008

Sadly, Christopher Walken will not be the next President of the United States.

I'm pretty happy it's a joke. He's way too cool to be President. I've always wondered why anyone qualified for that job would want it. It seems like a shitty gig to me.

Thank god for that, the last thing we needed was a president of the most powerful nation in the world being elected in because he's a celebrity.

Too bad. You know the campaign volunteers would be so hot.

although it sounded far-fetched to me from the get-go, i knew the website was a fake the minute i sailed over to Wikipedia and saw that its bio was lifted directly, word for word, from the Wikipedia entry. now you'd THINK a serious run for the presidency would start from scratch...

too bad, though. couldn't you imagine walken's inauguration speech?

"for yes i. do, swear. to uphold, THE! constitution of... the united states..."

i swear, it would probably take at least eight hours.

But what an awesome eight hours.

And all those campaign volunteers would be so very drunk. Mmmmm.

Hang on, people thought it wasn't a joke?

It's Christoper Walken!

took the words right out of my mouth, then made it better.

again, you mean?

MISTER.........gorbachev. TearDOWN! This......WAAAAAL.

yeah, cause having a celebrity running your country is so much more ridiculous than having the retard you have in charge now

We've had a retard AND celebrity at the same time, you know. I wish I could remember the line from Back To The Future regarding old Ronnie as President....

Ronald Reagen?.. The ACTOR!? HAH!

The Cock o' the Walk Baby!!!!!

2012 then?

You know, he probably could eventually be president if he wanted to. All he'd have to do is be governor of California first, and that obviously isn't too hard. Once he had some political cred, he would absolutely kill at the debates.

WRITE IN CAMPAIGN GOD DAMNIT.

I love this part: "And who would be his running mate? Asked for her suggestions, Buxbaum remarked: "I wouldn't know where to begin." Might we suggest Willem Dafoe?"

Classic!

They only happen to be my most favorite Actors! I'd die.

Really now, would it matter that they were celebrities if their political views matched your own... if they did mine, I would vote for them.

If Bush were a celebrity prior to him being elected I still would not have voted for him.

I knew it was a joke, but I just held on hoping that he'd take Gary Oldman or even James Woods as his running mate.

hey, if Reagan could do it why not Walken?

I don't care, damnit. I'm writing him in on the next ballot.

i've read somewhere that gary oldman is in fact a devoted republican.
wtf?

It's for the power. Anyone above average height with good hair is in a good position to make it to a high office. When installed, they get cool stuff, they get bodyguards, they get attention, and they gain the power of life and death over trusting citizens.

That's pretty intoxicating for most people.

So, he stole his speech from Bill Shatner?
