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.

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!

And sometimes, the earlier the better.

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

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