To those who aren't already aware, Christopher Walken has announced his intent to run in '08. (http://www.walken2008.com/)

His platform, while I don't agree with it entirely as one might guess, is surprisingly more sensible than most of the current manifestos I'm seeing from the GOP or the DP. As much as it pains me to say this, he really ought to run as a Democrat in order to get a lot of press, hopefully to counteract the growing pseudofascism known as the Neoconservative movement.

If he does run as a Democrat, I'd consider voting for him. Short of that, I'd side with a small government Republican [provided the GOP is intelligent enough to field one] or a Libertarian like last time.

Walken in '08!

That's a joke site, you know that, right?

Old.

Joke or no joke, I'd still vote for him.

That Brooklyn accent would be great for a President.

Um... no, not from what I can tell. On what basis were you informed that it was? I'm pretty sure he's actually doing this, as a more comprehensive platform was released a few days ago.

Maybe it isn't. A thread about this was made about a month ago. I think someone pointed out that it was a joke.

That'll clear things up.

Well, that someone was probably missing a few brain cells.

Possibly.

Well his site is hosted by Overcity Productions (http://www.theocpd.com/hosting/), but there's nothing that leads be to believe [on the surface at least] that there isn't some substance to it. Chances are, if it were a hoax we'd have seen him release a statement on the issue, which admittedly I haven't yet looked for. Perhaps I'll hit Google and see if I can find a statement from him on the subject or somesuch.

"The person who put this together was just trying it as a hoax, I presume," said Mara Buxbaum, Walken's publicist.

The story is false. (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/walken.asp) Christopher Walken is not running for the office of president in the USA.

And there it is. God damn it.

The Washington Post seems to have a statement from him saying it's '100% false'. It doesn't look promising...which is annoying.

(Not American, but interested)
Yeah, I guess he'd be great.


Fat Boy Slim would be the first artist to have had a dancing head-of-state as the star of a video.

Joke...

beh...fass beat me

""The person who put this together was just trying it as a hoax, I presume," said Mara Buxbaum, Walken's publicist. "My take on it is it sounds like the person who put this on the Web took his role in 'Wedding Crashers' too seriously and now wants him to run for the presidency." "

edit darn dial up...

And there it is. God damn it.

I'm sorry for bursting your bubble. (Well, it was a wee bit fun, but, yeah.)

And there it is. God damn it.
He would have been a kick-ass president. I'd put Heaven's Gate in the past and vote for him.

Heh :p

I guess some people have a little too much time on their hands, eh?

The person responsible for the hoax should consider running for President (if that is his/her platform, that is).

Heh :p

I guess some people have a little too much time on their hands, eh?

You say that in General as if it were news! :D

Point.

Christopher Walken has played very few lead roles in his career. Why must he start now with something far bigger than the biggest movie lead?

He's got my ticket if Ron Paul isn't running (he prly isn't nyways)

:(

So I read through the pdf of his platform.

I must say, I've never wished a site to be more true than that one.

Good job to whomever put it together. Now let's all work to make it true!

Walken/FSM '08!!

If you Melkor, Super-Power, etc. all support him, then that's a damn good platform.

I sure wouldnt vote for him, even if he did run.

Iraq: He is for staying in, to "finish the job", even if he wants to leave sooner than later.

Immigration: Not for stronger border control.

Gun stance: Anti-gun, for strict liscencing, etc... Huge no-no.

Tax: He wants a fair tax, which I am quite against.

Sorry, but if anyone gets my vote, its good old stewart.

Were it true and he were elected, he'd likely assasinate himself.
No-I prefer he continue hiding beneath the creepy rock he spends most of his time hiding beneath.

I'd vote for him if he was running.

I am going to vote for him even if he doesn't run. Write-in vote!

But seriously I want a bumper sticker.

Kieth Richards should be president .

Kieth Richards should be president .
He can't be. He's from England.

Resind the declaration of Independence . I want to be Duke of Beer anyway .
You can be Earl of Chains . In fact I proclaim it . god save Queen Elton !

What I NEED is more Cowbell
I have a fever and the only perscription is more cowbell

Jon Stewart really should run

And there it is. God damn it.
Yeah DAMN IT

Dennis Miller ! Maybe he will do better at that than Monday night football ...

Oh damn that was some funny stuff. I think my favorite Walken moment has got to be his one scene in Pulp Fiction though.

Christopher Walken is elected President.

Foreign News Correspondent ( FNC ): "Who is your President now?"

State Department Official (SDO ): "Our President is Walken."

FNC: "That's nice, but what's his name?"

SDO: "He's Walken."

FNC: "You told me that already. But I need to know his name."

SDO: "Walken, Christopher."

FNC: "He's walking Christopher? Who's Christopher?"

SDO: "Walken."

FNC: "Walking where? Who's walking?"

SDO: "Our President."

FNC: "That's what I need to know! What's his name?"

SDO: "Lady, are you shinnin' me on? He's Walken, Christopher!"

FNC: "You're not making sense!"

SDO: "So now you're saying Americans are stupid?"

FNC: "No, I just don't understand why you're having so much trouble communicating! I just need to know his name, you twit!"

SDO: "Lady, you're being insulting! I told you he's Walken. If you don't want to believe me, at least be civil about it!"

FNC: "Arggggg! Just tell me his frakkin' NAME!"

SDO: "As the latest appointee to this Ambasadorship, I was appointed by Walken, and now you're telling me I don't know my own President???"

FNC: "You've lost your bloody mind! No one gets appointed by walking, not even in that cesspool of a country you laughingly refer to as 'America!' And I never even suggested that you don't know who your President is, which is more than I can say for me after trying to worm it out of you for almost a half hour now!"

SDO: "Walken's appointees are the best in generations! We are not insane! America is not a 'cesspool,' and I have had enough of this shit!"

FNC: "Holy Mary, Mother of God! My article about you, your unnamed President and your entire frakkin' country is going to make Al Jazziera look like a Sunday school picnic!"

SDO: "That's it! You print that damn article and I'll make sure Walken takes care of you, your rag of a newspaper, and your entire worthless country!"

FNC: [ storms out ]

SDO: [ storms out ]

Two days later America and the entire continent of Europe are at war!

PLEASE don't elect Walken! :D

I've got the Fever too!

Jon Stewart really should run

Just cast a write-in vote for him...I most likely will. :)

Oh damn that was some funny stuff. I think my favorite Walken moment has got to be his one scene in Pulp Fiction though.
Yeah poor kid … I would wash that watch

America does need more actors as President.

Let's face it, executive politics is as much acting as anything else. Why get tongue-twisted ex-oil execs or southern playboys? Actors all the way.

SCHWARZENEGGER 2008! (Though I would have voted Walken too. Seriously.)

I would vote for Walken or Stewart

That would be great Stewart with walken as VP (or vise versa)
