OK, so he's not perfect on the issues, but if it comes down to this guy and Hillary, I'm voting Walken. More cowbell!

[Captainpaintball]

He went from serving a "glass of cham-pahg-neah" to running a "political cam-pahg-neah"

I swear, I can't for the life of me tell if this is a joke or not:

I have a wav from a movie, one of his first few, called 'The Anderson Tapes". He says, 'America man, you know it's so beautiful I wanna eat it' One of my faves.

In the eighties, Esquire did an interview with Walken. The title was a quote from the interview: "I AM THE MALEVOLENT WASP!" (he was thinking of his short, creepy role in Annie Hall). A lot of people still think of US presidents as more or less malevolent WASPs -- so he starts out ahead on that score -- but I don't think we'll elect someone who trumpets it from the rooftops.

In fact he's not much of a WASP -- his father was a German immigrant baker in New York. And he has been married to the same woman for years. But rumors about Natalie Wood persist, and after Kennedy and Clinton, I don't think we'd elect Walken -- assuming this is meant seriously.

Fun factoid:

Is only the second person in history to be nominated for both Best Supporting Actor from the Oscars, for Catch Me If You Can (2002), and Worst Supporting Actor from the Razzies, for The Country Bears (2002) in the same year. The first was James Coco, who was actually nominated for both awards for the same role in Only When I Laugh (1981).

The "world community" may be composed of tyrants and cowards, but it's hard to see how the US could have much credibility with anyone associated with the "Country Bears" movie at the helm.

Agreed, Walken or Hitlery? I'm voting for Archangel Michael every time(Prophecy movie).


I've always liked the way this guy spoke. Nice elocution.

[mabelkitty]

I vote James Woods.
He dated Sharon Stone, graduated from MIT, nailed the first seven hijackers (of which Clinton's FBI did nothing), and he plays poker.

[Casloy]

Perhaps the decision between he and Hillary can be decided with a game of Russian Roulette. She goes first and we use a Glock 9mm.

I just heard about this on the radio over here in england, and as a former actor who has worked with Mr Walken, I've felt compelled to do this.

I'm putting together a site to tell the TRUTH about this man and his real politics (I think we can agree that his policies page is mainly spin).

What do you think? You can probably all see where I've got my inspiration :)

[Army Air Corps]

If this were true, it would be interesting...

Walken ... running ... for president?

[Vision]

This is why we don't take Hollywood seriously. All these nitwits. This is actually the banner ad on his campaign website's homepage for Christ's sake.

[Fawn]
