When Action Heroes Endorse

By Chris Weinkopf on January 25, 2008 9:03 AM | | Comments (0) |

ferrigno_hulk.jpgAs Bridget observes, Mike Huckabee has the endorsement of Chuck Norris, and now John McCain has picked up the backing of Sylvester Stallone. All of which has me wondering -- what candidates are the other action heroes of yore supporting? Some guesses:

  • Jean Claude Van Damme -- John Kerry (he's French, you know)
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger -- Mitt Romney (human who played a robot admires robot who can play a human)
  • Steven Seagal -- John Edwards (it's the hair)
  • Jackie Chan --- Hillary Clinton (it's the Norman Hsu connection)
  • Sigourney Weaver -- Anyone but Kucinich (Sigourney hates aliens)
  • Keanu Reeves -- Barack Obama (sympathy for people with un-spellable first names)
  • Will Smith -- Al Gore (both stars of scary movies in which they pretend to save the earth)
  • Lou Ferrigno -- also Al Gore (because big, angry green dudes gotta stick together)
  • Harrison Ford -- Rudy Giuliani (both made a fortune through Patriot Games)
  • Tom Cruise -- Ron Paul (both are creepy, yet have an inexplicably devoted fan base)
That's all can think of -- anybody got any more?
