― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

and will either Eminem or Jay-Z be 35 by the time election 2008 rolls around?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Pauly Shore?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Schwarzzenegger can't run for President because the presidency is restricted to those born in the U.S.A.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Not if Orin Hatch has anything to say about it.

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

amateurist in taking things literally shocka

― Free the Bee (ex machina), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:40 (twenty-one years ago)

How about Big Bird, cus clearly some Americans have no trouble electing a puppet.

(Bahahaha)

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:41 (twenty-one years ago)

David Bowie is a swiss citizen?

― Andrew (enneff), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Warren Beatty

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Doesn't Warren Beatty's personal history kind of knock him out of the running?

Or Bulworth at least?

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I sure wish Clint Eastwood was about ten years younger.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Warren Beatty is a perfect match for Ahnuld - he was an even bigger horndog, but it was always (AFAIK) consensual. That's a leg up right there.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to run Rocky-era Stallone. The ultimate American underdog, which is what the Democratic party stands for. Not to mention the debates would be out of this world.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

wasn't stallone a clinton and gore supporter?

also, lest we forget ... HOWARD STERN (not entirely facetiously).

Maria Shriver!

Oh wait.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Schwarzzenegger can't run for President because the presidency is restricted to those born in the U.S.A.

I assumed the thread was inspired by this news item.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually support this, but not because it might get Schwarzzenegger elected.

If he does become president, it'll be funny having a prez who's name is constantly being spelled wrong.

― supercub, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 04:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait until I become the first Green Landeshauptmann of Styria, dudes.

(There's one z in Schwarzenegger. I can't spell a lot of things, but I can spell "Black Plowman".)

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 06:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Jerry Springer!

(who is also prevented from becoming president by the born-in-the-USA law)

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris Rock and Bernie Mac on the same ticket would get the job done.

― lukey (Lukey G), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I sure wish Clint Eastwood was about ten years younger.

He's a Republican

― Jedermann sein eigener Fussball (Dada), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't Chris Rock also a Republican?

(as, I suspect, is Michael Moore underneath it all - read his "Manifesto for Reasonable Republicans" in Dude Where's My Country?)

― Jasper Milvain, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Colin, it's "Ploughman".

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Hulk Hogan would walk it.

Linda Hamilton

Oprah Winfrey. Strategically, a slam-dunk.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

In American, it's plow, yough.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

But "plow" looks stupid

― Jedermann sein eigener Fussball (Dada), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 11:36 (twenty-one years ago)

But it looks like it sounds!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

So why doesn't it rhyme with "flow" and "glow" then?

― Jedermann sein eigener Fussball (Dada), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Rhyme: Plough / Trough

... on the banks of Lough Neagh

― Jedermann sein eigener Fussball (Dada), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

enough

― Cough Dough, Tuesday, 28 September 2004 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

No need to get in a hough.

No, wait...

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Words are awesome.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Hough = horrible jellied meat muck that my dad used to like - pronounced HOCH (in Scotland anyway)

xpost
the thing about warren beatty is that he has a bill clinto-esque believable dismissiveness about his past where he can acknowledge that it is ambiguously unsavory, but to dig further into it would cheapen the discourse. plus -- the big secret would be that warren beatty could actually physically kick arnold schwarzeneger's ass. i once read somewhere (in a fiction book though :( ) of warren beatty's incredible threshold for pain. plus, clearly the governator would be outgroped. plus, one was conan and the other was fucking clyde motherfucking barrow. it's no contest really.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Beatty is obvious because he's had almost as many women as JFK and Clinton

― Jedermann sein eigener Fussball (Dada), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Will Smith.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I sure wish Clint Eastwood was about ten years younger.
He's a Republican

Actually, he's a libertarian. He doesn't like the government "tellin' folks what they need to do." Eastwood's revelation led to this unfortunate quote from the Libertarian Party:

"Talk about making my day," said the Libertarian Party's National Director, Perry Willis. "Having Clint Eastwood declare himself a libertarian is better than a fistful of dollars. We hope his announcement will have a sudden impact on the public's awareness of the libertarian philosophy -- and the Libertarian Party, too."
Sigh. So sign me up for Paul Newman, I guess.

Ditto on Tom Hanks (even though I can't stand him.)

It's gotta be Oprah. I'm saying Clinton/Winfrey '08

If he does become president, it'll be funny having a prez who's name is constantly being spelled wrong.

Not to mention pronunciation.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Because to pronouncing wrong!

Yeah! Rosy Perez! Her speeches would be better.
