SENATOR PREDICTED PRESIDENT OBAMA (Val Kilmer May Run For Governor of New Mexico)
New York Post ^ | 11/07/08 | Cindy Adams

SNIP

By cellphone from Bulgaria, he said: "There's sort of a rumor around that I'm maybe thinking about running to be governor of New Mexico? Well, it's sort of true. It's been my home 25 years. I really love my state. Poor, hardworking, decent people - Native Americans, carpenters, artists, expats mixed in with hundreds of the world's smartest physicists at Los Alamos. I've always thought of myself as functioning as a candidate for them.

"The media interests me and it's influenced politicians since the '60s, and I'm approaching this as a worthy serious endeavor. I would be very comfortable in my position as a representative for the people."

SNIP

"People in the state are being supportive. Our current governor, Bill Richardson, who's hoping to be picked as secretary of state, and whom I've seen down in the dirt helping people you know could never help him in return, and whom I love, had a dinner for me and said not to dismiss the idea. Said I could be a great governor.

"Right now I'm making a movie here. I won't say it's a remake of Hitchcock's '59 oldie 'North by Northwest' because that sounds awful. Let's say it's inspired by that film. Similar plot, espionage, mistaken ID," and here he laughed, "and I'm doing Cary Grant's part which, I guess, is like saying I'm doing a sculpture of the Statue of Liberty.

I’m guessing this interview took place with a pile of white stuff on his glass coffee table...

Is there a disconnect between the headline and the content? Is the Iceman another loser liberal?

I don’t want to know if Val Kilmer is a stupid liberal too.

But I can tell you from experience that Bill Richardson is nothing but a self-serving piece of political trash. And he’s even uglier (believe it or not) up close.

The tone of the e-mail suggests he would run as a leftwing
Democrat

He was unforgettably terrific in “Tombstone.”

***I’m your huckleberry.....***

He’s probably a far ways away from the mindset of that roll right now.

No pun intended on ‘roll’.

I guess is he hasn't been able to stop imitating Marlon Brando.

It happens to actors who take their work too seriously.

Isn’t this the same guy that has had trouble getting jobs in Hollywood because he’s such a jerk on the set? Marlon Brando told him “you confuse the size of your talent with the size of your paycheck”. Hahaha! I can see him on the campaign trail now!

He was hysterical in “Top Secret”, his first movie way back in ‘84.

Yes, he was great in "Tombstone". IMHO it was the role of his entire career.

I have not been particularly impressed with any of his other roles.

Actually, Val should run. He can run as a Green/Independent against Denish in 2010 and we can run Pearce or Wilson and win the Governorship.
