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.

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

Where's Les Nessman when we need him?

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.

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

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

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.

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

And sometimes, the earlier the better.

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

It took that?

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.

GameSprocket: Eddie was gay?!!!

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

Crewmannumber6: 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.

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"

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.

The Why Not Guy: He starred in An American Carol. The prosecution rests.

Oh, I was not aware of that. Hrrrrm.

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.
