As 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?
