Such a masterpiece. Did you see that Gatling gun?
Oh, sorry. Back to my point...
Now Kentucky is the latest state to have one of its own former "Predator" co-stars running for office. As CNN.com reports, Sonny Landham, who is a retired actor, one-time convict, current libertarian, and former pornographic hunk (true story), will be running for United States Senate this November. Apparently, for some odd reason I simply cannot comprehend, several political specialists have doubted Landham's ability to win over the traditionally conservative constituency of Kentucky based partially on his past "acting" experiences:
"I'm not sure which is more of a hurdle for Landham, being a former porn actor or being a Libertarian Party candidate," said Political scientist Michael Baranowski, of Northern Kentucky University, "But if the race between McConnell (Republican opponent) and Lunsford (Democratic opponent) is tight enough, the votes Landham pulls from McConnell might be critical."
According to the CNN article and other more untrustworthy sources, Mr. Landham considered following his "Predator" co-stars and running for Governor back in 2003 but was too busy compiling information for the worst biography ever written for a potential U.S. Senator. Either way, win or lose by an enormous margin, I find it hilarious that being a Libertarian can actually hurt a candidate more than serving 2.5 years in Federal prison or having sex on film for money. But hey, at least he has the Cherokee-American and Seminole-American vote all locked up in Kentucky for '08.
God bless America, and God bless Sonny Landham.
