The NBC star said he'd likely run as a Republican, though he's not a conservative. "I consider myself a centrist..."

Don't worry, Kelsey. Sean stopped listening aftet the word Republican. He'll be proud to shill for you.

[yooper]

Why not? We've already had one coke fiend in the oval office. What's another?

[SoCal_Republican]

This IS Kelsey "flip my Viper while I'm drunk" Grammar, isn't it? I think he was busted only twice for cocaine possession, so he should have a good shot at Senator....on West Wing.

[jraven]

So what if he's a coke fiend? I drink Pepsi all the time.
Also, as a Californian, I'd say that he fits into our politics very well (I liked Reagan and just voted abstentee for Arnold by the way). In fact, I would say we need MORE NON LAWYERS running for office -- Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives or Don't Knows. Actors..Ok. Wrestlers...OK. Proctologists...Ok. IRS auditors....weellll, in that case there should be a limit...

[Endeavor]

No kidding.

[moodyskeptic]

We now have two East Coast wealthy liberal shrews as CA senators. I would welcome Kelsy's candidacy.
I find it nice that the Left created rampant celebrity worship, and now some of those celebrities appear capable of turning on them and helping to turn the cultural corner. Let's see what this guy has to offer.

What!!! That's news to me.

[hasegawasama]

Except real senators do coke more than the west wing ones probably.

[flaglady47]

Absolutely right, Moodyskeptic. We need all the help we can get from any quarter, especially in the Hollywood environs. You know, it's really starting to bug me all the Freepers who are so holier than thou, and think that no one can have had a moral lapse at any point in their life, and therefore are not worthy of being Pubs. We'll eliminate 7/8th's of the American population that way. Let he who is without sin. My humble opinion is, if someone has cleaned up their act, and is bright enough to see that the Republicans, and their philosophy, is the right way to fly, for heaven sakes, let them fly. When I was young, I was an idiot. I'm not now. Jesus forgave whores, and took them in. Once on the right track, those who have had an earlier "wild" life invariably clean up their act, once they see the light. That's good. Welcome them. Let them be on the "right" side. And can some of the gratuitous criticism. It's not useful to the cause.

Wow! a sane post amid all the RINO sky is falling posts from out of state. Most of us would consider replacing Barbara Boxer as a plus.

[joesnuffy]

Another Kennedy Republican infiltrator
this one a wet brain to boot..

Calls himself a "centrist" does he?

Nice enough name for another fifth columnist

The dems have found a neat way to take over the nation
just become republicans and call yourselves "moderates" or "centrists"

the media only cares about being next to anyone famous...as it does
what media is supposed to do...

Deliver an audience to the advertisor....

Wow! a sane post amid all the RINO sky is falling posts from out of state.

I didn't realize the city of Los Angeles was out-of-state. But I'm not staying, so I really don't have a dog in this fight.

Choose your representation as you see fit. Best of luck.

Kelsey Grammer; excuse me, but am I wrong? Wasn't there a little fiddling around with an underage girl in his past? Some sexual scandal? Can't be all that long ago. Anyone???

>>>...can some of the gratuitous critism. It's not useful to the cause <<<

:::thank you, flaglady:::

[byteback]

I would prefer to not have to move but I could be not for long if the jobs climate changes. I'm currently going against the crash and burn strategy but if I was leaving maybe I'd be for it. I also know that many states would gladly accept the CA businesses even if it meant accepting Californians.

[gubamyster]

Don't worry folks, that loud crash you just heard was only the Arnoids falling all over each other to chase after the newest Hollywood star.

If Arnie gets elected, every Michael Bloomberg politician will stick an "R" on their forehead and jump on the RHINO party.

[beckett]

Grammer has some very dicey episodes in his past. I believe he had a murdered sister, lots of parental strife, serious trouble with drugs, and, most problematically perhaps, his half-brother (or possibly full brother, I'm not sure) made an ugly allegation about some kind of inappropriate sexual advance Grammer made on him.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Wasn't there a little fiddling around with an underage girl in his past?...I think he stood trial and was found not guilty...

During the interview Grammer said he disliked the amount of "hate speech" in politics today and wouldn't want to hold office if it meant he would have to defend himself from attacks by opponents and engage in counterattacks - lots of luck on that one........
