LMFAO!!!! This is a joke, right (I only had one cup of coffee today so my judgement is horribly impaired)?

I know I can't just vote for a man because I'm hot for him--however I may not be able to help myself. Cowbell indeed!

you guys do know this is a hoax, right?

part of today's LA Times article:

From Oscar to Oval Office?
A website touting twitchy actor Christopher Walken for president is a hoax.
By Robert W. Welkos
Times Staff Writer

August 19, 2005

He was a Russian roulette-playing Vietnam veteran in "The Deer Hunter."

He played an unsavory smuggler in "Pulp Fiction."

Now somebody, somewhere, apparently thinks the world is ready for Christopher Walken in a new role: Leader of the Free World.

A claim that Walken had launched a campaign for the White House caused a stir as it made the Internet rounds in recent days, fueled by a sophisticated website (www.walken2008.com) that lists a campaign platform, testimonials and bits of purported Walken wisdom intended to carry him far with voters in red and blue states.

Only, it's all a joke.

Walken's representatives say they aren't sure who masterminded the website but speculate that it might have been prompted by Walken's latest film, "Wedding Crashers," a hit comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. In it, Walken plays the U.S. secretary of the Treasury.

"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."

A spokesman for New Line Cinema, which released the film, said the website is not part of any publicity campaign by its marketing department. The movie already has grossed $165 million and doesn't appear to need extra help at the box office, he added.

Although the campaign is fake, there's a certain Ross Perot quality to the website that lends it an air of authenticity.

Hoo-rah, someone finally quotes the best part of the movie & in fact the only reason to watch it in my opinion. Sam J is entertaining as well .
