Well he was certainly effective in rousing the Rebels to evacuate Hoth.

As a resident of Connecticut, I wouldn't vote for him. I loved Cheers, but the guy's a Teabagger.

I only support left-wing wingnuts, not right-wing wingnuts.

Five bucks says Linda McMahon puts him down with a chair shot.

The Pope can run for the US Senate?

now hang on there Normie, the Guy did spend 10 years sitting on his butT pretending to be an expert on every subject known to man while in actuality being dumb as a box of hammers. I'd say that's pretty decent training to be a GOP congress person

We need to stop using the term Teabagger to describe the Tea Party/ Tax protesters. It is degrading to the fine citizens who express their constitutional right to engage in whatever consenting sexual activity between adults that they want to.

He's a pretty smart guy. he told me that women have fewer sweat glands than men. But they're larger, more active.

/better than that guy from Minnesota
//at least the Ratz has said something funny before

Who?

He'd be the go-to guy for filibustering, that's for damn sure.

"Vote for this bill or we let Ratzenberger speak!"

Where's Les Nessman when we need him?

He won't make it past the first marker.

I normally have no problem with celebrities running for higher offices IF they have some sort of political background. Sonny Bono was a mayor, Fred Grandy was a speechwriter, Schwarzenegger was ubiquitous throughout Reagan's administration, Fred Thompson fell into acting by accident (he was already a huge political figure during Watergate & was asked to play himself in a movie about another of his cases), and Franken's later career was most definitely political--Air America, his books, his support of Paul Wellstone.

What's Ratzenberger done? He & Kelsey Grammer showed up for a couple of McCain rallies and since then just seems to rile up crowds at tea parties. The equivalent of nothing.

Another actor? Gee. Great.

StudlyDoRight: He'd be the go-to guy for filibustering, that's for damn sure.

Filibusters don't work that way in the Senate

brigid_fitch: What's Ratzenberger done?

I already told you. He inspired the Rebels on Hoth to get to their transports.

So the man who advocates for the USPS yet decries "ZOMG SOSHULLISM11!" wants to be a Senator. Yeah. Makes sense.

you have to wonder if he would want to be associated with a man who is seen by the public as a clueless, know-it-all postal worker.

Damn.


However:

casting his lot with conservative Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty

burn.

didn't seem to hurt Sarah Palin

Cliffie trifecta now in play?

Its a little know fact that manatees can be smoking hot earlier in life.

Damn Hollywood liberal elites should just shut up! What business does one of those socialist actors have in politics? Acting is no background for serious policy-making. Just because he got his mug in front of a camera does not qualify him for ...

Oh, he's conservative?

Ratzenberger 2010!

Apparently Kelsey Grammer is a wingnut as well. Completely stomped the humor out of Fraser after I learned that.

That.

I look forward to teh Cliff Clavin-Linda McMahon Republican primary debate.

Mugato: DarnoKonrad: Apparently Kelsey Grammer is a wingnut as well. Completely stomped the humor out of Fraser after I learned that.

*shrugs* I also thought it was a pretty funny character. At least funnier than Cliff.

DarnoKonrad: Apparently Kelsey Grammer is a wingnut as well. Completely stomped the humor out of Fraser after I learned that.

Grammar is definitely a Republican, but I don't think he is a wingnut teabagger-type. If he were, I doubt that he would have worked on the show as long as he did being that half of the cast is gay. Then again, money talks.

I'd rather bunk in a Tauntaun than vote for him.

BertDog: I look forward to teh Cliff Clavin-Linda McMahon Republican primary debate.


Get Victoria Jackson to moderate.

Edsel: I'd rather bunk in a Tauntaun than vote for him.

And I thought they smelled bad ... on the outside!

That's a little presumptuous isn't it? I consider myself somewhat right of center and I'll defend to the death your right to stick your junk in whomever or whatever you want.

/as long as it isn't me

Eddie was gay?!!!

RINO

/Don't get me wrong, I love you guys. At least your philosophy has more than a snowball's chance in hell of actually working in a society... unlike your GOP brothers.

Edsel: I'd rather bunk in a Tauntaun than vote for him.

You know, for the Democratic party being dominated by "Hollywood Liberals", the Republicans sure like to run a lot of actors for office, have them appear at political rallies, have them talk politics on TV, etc.

GameSprocket: Eddie was gay?!!!

Eddie was all about pussy! The father and Niles were gay. Frasier just acted gay.

Crewmannumber6: I consider myself somewhat right of center

In this country that's somewhere to the left of Obama. If you ain't eat up with culture wars, you'd better start hugging trees and eating gluten free cereal hippie.

The presumption I make is that your standard Republican (or Democrat) may or may not have an issue with gays, but that a full-fledged teabagger (ironically) is likely not going to be very tolerant of "teh ghey"

Mugato: Well he was certainly effective in rousing the Rebels to evacuate Hoth.

Dammit. I came in here to say this.

/He was a Major in an interstellar military.

Cliff was a Rebel commander? This is why you don't clone your army, like inbreeding, it leads to incompetence.

HeartBurnKid: You know, for the Democratic party being dominated by "Hollywood Liberals", the Republicans sure like to run a lot of actors for office, have them appear at political rallies, have them talk politics on TV, etc.

At least the Republicans put their money where their mouth is, and actually run. The left just likes to make appearances with South American dictators and run their mouths.

Better than Republicans using the CIA to install South American dictators.

The sportscaster dude was gay also.

He starred in An American Carol. The prosecution rests.

Interesting phenomenon these days of people feeling the need to relegate everyone to either extreme rather than allowing for the possibility of a whole spectrum of viewpoints.

/fark republicans
//fark democrats
///two sides of the same coin

Jesus farking Christ. Cliff Clavin and Midnight Cowboy. Way to draw in the younger voters, GOP.

Pants full of macaroni!!: The sportscaster dude was gay also.

Bulldog? Gay? This STINKS! THIS IS TOTAL BS! THIS... oh wait a second. Okay then.

mediaho: Jesus farking Christ. Cliff Clavin and Midnight Cowboy. Way to draw in the younger voters, GOP.

One played a dumb bore and the other played a man whore... sounds like perfect GOP material to me.

DarnoKonrad: Apparently Kelsey Grammer is a wingnut as well. Completely stomped the humor out of Fraser after I learned that.

Seriously? You lose your ability to enjoy an actor's work if that actor doesn't agree with you on the correct way to run a country?
