I bet this guy's platform will be as clear as Nirvana's lyrics ;0)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

And that might be a good thing. : )

[Chad Fairbanks]

LOL

[jagrmeister]

Uh, Nirvana was only the most significant band of the 90s. As far as Novolesic, if I was his opponent, I would play that clip of Novolesic throwing his guitar in the air after a set and having it fall right on his hand leaving him motionless on the ground (actually happened). Then follow up with "Do we want this clumsy guy with his finger on the button?" (NO need to explain what "button" is being referred to)

Good God! Amerika has the balls to consider this? Just what are this pompus ass idiot's credentials (or does it matter to the mindless masses?)

[CyberCowboy777]

He heard it was the second highest position in the State.

Not realizing that it was neither an important office or a position in the hierarchy of haze.

[Chad Fairbanks]

It's a launching pad to higher office. That's really all it's good for.

Sharpton/Novoselic in 2008

Wrecks my dream ticket of Franken/Moore.

[CyberCowboy777]

You keep using the description "Higher" and you will get him to run for Governor, maybe President.

Don't confuse the poor soul.

[Chad Fairbanks]

"If you are to go parachuting, how high do you have to be?"

"Oh, about 15 beers ought to do it..."

Nirvana Narcissist Considering Run for Lt. Gov of Washington State


BTW Novoselic - Thanks for perpetuating the stereotype about Bassists and the Lt. Gov position.........that anyone can do it.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

ROTFL

[Chad Fairbanks]

LOL... How can you tell if the Political Stage is level? THe drool is coming out both sides of Krist's mouth ;0)

[CyberCowboy777]

If he loses it will only prove that it is easier to play bass in a famous rock band and make millions than it is to win a office were the duties include cutting ribbons at strip malls and holding the Governors pen.

See Publius' comments above. This is a non-controversial office, tends to be held on to for decades at a time.

But your point about mindless masses is well taken, we've elected just as bad in recent decades.

[Ribeye]

Actually I was hoping Al Franken could get Marion Berry on his ticket so we could have FrankenBerry 2008.

[My Favorite Headache]

LOL...you read my mind...he sucks as a bassist...Geddy Lee rules.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Now *that* is good. :)

[Libertina]

I guess the young generation had to enter politics sometime... Atleast the public won't be insulted with "smoked but didn't inhale" stories. ;)

[Chad Fairbanks]

True... in this case though, I think it's more like "I smoked, but didn't exhale..." ;0)
