A few quick thoughts on action heroes and politics:
In 2003, Arnold goes Commando on Cruz Bustamante (a badass 80's action movie villain moniker if ever there was).
Five years later, I'm supposed to care if Chuck Norris finds a new Sidekick in Mike Huckabee? I mean, dude's got a sharp beard and knows how to use nunchucks and all, but -- unless he's hidin' out in the voting booth with a sai or somethin' -- Chuck ain't swayin' my vote.
And just today, the Associated Press cares enough to let us know that Sly Stallone "like(s) McCain a lot."
As an old friend used to say, "Dude. Wait. What?"
Not to take anything away from their storied careers, but not even a Rocky Balboa endorsement makes a damn to me. But, the scary-piss-your-pants part is that their opinions will actually sway some voters.
They pay people in business attire to figure shit like that out.
Me? I'm just waitin' for someone to pull Dolph Lundgren out of his or her hat. That mutha-effer was He-Man.
