"In 1967, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour premiered. Pat was hired because he sold them cheap songs and would run errands. At first he was cast as their editorialist and his double talk comments on the issues of the day propelled him into the national consciousness. "I felt I was saying real important things and also I got a lot more money."

Pat was later approached by the Smothers Brothers with the idea of running for President. Pat's reply was "Why not? I can't dance - besides, the job has a good pension plan and I'll get a lot of money whan I retire."

Pat's campaign was based in comedy and he ran it using outright lies, double talk and unfounded attacks on his challengers. Who would have thought this style would be the method of campaigns in the future? His work on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour earned Pat an Emmy in 1968.

He was a very nice guy. He came to Carnegie Mellon (Tech) in 1972 and brought the house down.

OMG, don't tell me you are really Pat Paulsen!

Who knew he was still alive?

Better yet, WHO CARED?

Talk about someone from the 60's who thought he was WAY more important than he ever was.....

‘Spur of the moment situation’

Wilbanks arrived at Albuquerque’s main airport Saturday afternoon for a flight back to Atlanta, her head covered with a striped blanket as about 10 police officers escorted her. She did not respond to reporters’ questions.

Marshall Katz, the airport police chief who escorted Wilbanks to her plane, said she was met aboard the aircraft by her stepfather and an uncle.

“Arms out, big hugs, alligator tears,” he said, describing the reunion.

Katz said he gave her a foot-tall white teddy bear, which she clutched for support. She planned to name it, “Al from Albuquerque,” she told him.
