And the Political Oscar Goes To ....
Presidential candidates are campaigning with unlikely celebrity endorsements.
Jan. 24, 2008— -- Hollywood might be abuzz over which big-time celebrities will win Academy Awards, but the political world is just as caught up with which not so big time celebrities are backing which presidential candidates.
Imagine what the Political Award show might look like …
In the category of Best Black-Belt endorsement?
The winner is Chuck Norris, backing Mike Huckabee.
Norris who may be best known nowadays for his fitness infomercial cameos, is a two-time winner. He also prevailed in the category of Most Creative Math Skills, which he earned trying to say John McCain is old.
"Look at George W., look how he's aged in seven years. He's aged three to one in seven years. Bill Clinton, he's aged three to one. If John takes over the presidency at 72, how old will he be in four years? He'll be 84 years old!" Norris told a group of Huckabee supporters as he tried to explain why Huckabee's youth makes him the best pick.
Best Estranged Relative of Angelina Jolie?
The winner is Jon Voight, backing Rudy Giuliani.
"We need Rudy Giuliani," Voight can be heard cheering alongside Rudy on the trail.
Best Portly Retireee with a big mustache?
The winner is Wilfred Brimley, who is backing John McCain.
"Chuck Norris is a pal of mine. He's a good guy," Brimley recently told McCain supporters. "But he's not real smart!" Sen. John McCain jumped in.
Now you might ask yourself, just how does Wilfred Brimley help John McCain? How many "Cocoon" fanatics can there really be? But it can't help any less than say, Ric Flair.
Because in the category of Best Pro-Wrestler it's a tie between Ric Flair for Mike Huckabee and Kane for Ron Paul. Even if pro-wrestling is fake, the endorsements are real.
It must be true that in an election this close, every vote counts, even Wilfred Brimley's.
