You remember Jimmy McMillan? The “Rent is Too Damn High” Party candidate for Governor of New York in 2006, 2010, and for Mayor in 2005, and 2009? If you had not heard, he has become a Republican and is running for President. You can check out his official website here. But there’s more. First, on April 21, 2011, McMillan will be speaking at Quinnipiac University. Check the link for more details / specifics if you are interested in attending. Also, in a recent interview with Gotham Talk Radio, McMillan said that he wanted to see Donald Trump as his running mate. Now imagine that, a McMillan / Trump ticket.
I can’t imagine a ticket less likely to win than that.

I keep forgetting about Jimmy but Matthew keeps pulling me back in.
“The Trump Plaza rent is too darn high!”

Why is he always wearing gloves? Is the “heat too damn expensive” to bother paying for everywhere he goes?

Now my head really really REALLY hurts. I need to sit down…

#1 – Sorry. When it comes to the obscure, especially New York’s own resident 3rd Party kook who constantly repeats the name of his former party when he gives speeches, I just can’t help myself!

Are there two bigger clowns than Trump and McMillan?
April 14th, 2011 at 11:56 am
Way more than two, Sean.
Bozo
Bubbles
Krusty
Chuckles
Homey the Clown

Ray,
Maybe everything “is too damn germy”.
I don’t know though. That’s what I thought of when I saw him. OCD.

McMillan/Trump, The Hair is Too Damn High!

The freak show continues.
Funny line from the Indianapolis Star’s interview with Mitch Daniels yesterday:

That’s what she said.

10 was for 8 ..I forgot to refresh.

Matthew,
I’m starting to kind of enjoy your coverage of the 4th and 5th tiers.
April 14th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
MMmmmmm….less likely, how about OBAMA/BIDEN ?
April 14th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
#12 – Thanks. If I don’t pay attention – who will keep track of Jimmy McMillan or Fred Karger. Don’t want them to wind up on the side of a milk carton.
I kid.

Since I’m the obscure candidates guy…
April 14th, 2011 at 3:51 pm
How’d you snag the fifth-tier beat? Some people just get to have all the fun.
April 14th, 2011 at 3:59 pm
Interestingly, A McMillan/Trump or Trump/McMillan White House would essentially be the most belligerent, radical, violent, oppressive dictatorship.
They’re both funny, but come on, president?

McMillan/Sharkey would be a worse ticket….lol. A vampire who lives on the street cause the rent is too damn high? I like it.
