The Guardian conducted an interview with Alvin Greene, somebody I’d almost like to see get elected to the US Senate just for the material he’d provide.
The article covered Greene’s ideas on job creation. How would the Democrat running against Republican Jim DeMint go about creating some jobs? By making and selling action figures of himself.
Good lord, why didn’t someone think of this sooner?
It is clear, too, in the course of the two hours I spend with Greene that he has some pretty wacky ideas that, were he to win in November, would put him among the more unpredictable members of the senate. At one point, he lurches off on his big idea for how to create jobs in South Carolina.
“Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That’s something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It’s not something a typical person would bring up. That’s something that could happen, that makes sense. It’s not a joke.”
There’s a not-so-subtle hint of completely unmerited narcissism in Greene’s words that would indicate he may indeed be ready to aimlessly wander the halls of Congress with the other equally qualified blowhards.
I have to admit though, Greene has a better grip on actual private-sector job creation than Nancy Pelosi — at least he’s speaking of manufacturing and selling a product. Sure, demand for an Alvin Greene action figure might not be there, but the dude’s trying.
Nancy Pelosi voodoo dolls just might catch on, at least you could stick pins in them and wipe you rear.
I caught another interview with him the other day. Somebody asked him about the AZ immigration law, and after about fifteen seconds of looking like he was in the wrong class for the final exam, he sighed something like, wow, this sure is getting to be an intense line of questioning.
The amazing thing is that there are democrats who are STILL going to vote for this guy come November.
Oh, wait... I guess that’s not so amazing after all when you consider democrats...
Somebody give that man a Nobel Peace Prize.
So, why does the government need to get involved?
Why does he need to be elected to do this?
He could go for it now.
That's gotta hurt. Seriesly, though...he'd need to sell some villainous action figures, as well. Somethin' for kids to have him throw down the stairs or out a window.
South Carolina politics - the gift that keeps on giving. Wasn’t it Jon Stewart who called them ‘the whoopee cushion of American politics’?
I mean... c'mon: ACTION FIGURES -- ?!? ;)
“...somebody I’d almost like to see get elected to the US Senate just for the material he’d provide.”
LOL, why couldn’t he be running against Lindsey Graham? I know who I’d vote for!!!!!! BWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!
And ya, I love your Nancy Pelosi voodoo dolls. What’s your website that I can order from?
You press a button in his back and he says, “I’m OK.”
For the voodoo to work you need a hair of the target. Appears that she has none to spare.
Hey, you have to remember that one man already made a fortune selling PET ROCKS in this country! I have a strange feeling that with the right promotion Alvin Greene action figures might be a big hit. Anyplace where people will buy pet rocks and put Barack Obama in the white house and make Nancy Pelosi speaker of the house and put Al Franken in the Senate is capable of any level of insanity imaginable. Greene may be on to something here.
As far as Alvin Greene’s intellect and ability I agree with Ann Coulter that he is about the finest DEMOCRAT candidate around, he would certainly equal Barack Obama or Pelosi any day of the week. He is a veteran of TWO branches of service and I would wager that he is even a natural born citizen with a real birth certificate. Alvin Greene should not be underestimated. Minnesota has an insane clown representing the state in the Senate, I’ll take Al Greene over Al Franken any day.
Good point.
Hey, we still can’t compete with Minnesota. Al Greene makes more sense than Al Franken any day of the week. We won’t even talk about the fools who kept electing idiots like Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and on and on and on, really, I won’t even mention that.

I almost feel sorry for poor Alvin, he is doing his best.
