Third Party Watch

Yes, that Shatner—the William Shatner who was and is Captain Kirk and more recently has shown his political colors on Boston Legal. And David Hasselhoff, aka The Hoff (Knight Rider, Baywatch), in the Dick Cheney role. (It was hard to find someone who could continue the tradition of really sexy veeps.)

If you’re getting bored comparing national health coverage plans, take a look at this website for the kickoff campaign ad put together by some fans. (Scrolling down the site is half the fun, and the video is at the bottom.)

Then go to the “official” presidential website, where you can get the news deliberately not reported by MSNBC, CNN, or Fox—”Shatner and Hasselhoff Win Russian Permission for Missile Shield in Central Europe During Strip Poker Game,” “Shatner Frees Tibet,” “Shatner Negotiates North Korean Nuclear Disarmament,” and more!

We’re told that “the office of former Republican hopeful Fred Thompson issued a press release in response…calling the whole idea of actors running for the presidency ‘totally retarded.’”

Sour grapes, Mr. District Attorney. And Jesse, you had your chance. Arnold, you’ve gone as far as you’ll get because you and John McCain are not native born Americans, so give Sacramento a chance and you’ll grow to love it. Besides, we now have a presidential candidate who can really kick ass!
