Basil Marceaux : The Next Governor of Tennessee

[thoughtreader]

oh the caliber of the local candidate for governor..... *facepalm*

I've actually met this guy he comes into my Home Depot all the time talking up his political platform... (this is what he always sounds like)

[Janus%TheDoorman]

I feel like this is the sort of thing that's always been going on, but it's only recently that the internet's been used to connect us with all the most laughable examples.

But then, maybe that's just me trying to pretend I don't live in a country where government and politics have been co-opted by dumbasses who got tired of being told "No, you can't be President."

[Syphon the Sun]

His website is pretty much what I'd expect after watching that video.

VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE!

His website is pretty much what I'd expect after watching that video.

Is this guy a Time Cube follower or something? (the video reminds me of Gene Ray, too).

[CezeN]

He'd get my vote.

and The Colbert Report has picked it up....

I feel like I should be excited that i know someone who has been on Colbert... but at the same time its Basil and that man is an imbicile and I run and hide when I see him walking into the Home Depot (just like every other associate)

edit: because I can't type after working a 12 hour shift at work...

[Janus%TheDoorman]

Aww. As silly as he is, he seems just earnest enough that Colbert having a go at him seems cruel and unusual.

[mr_thebrain]

he's republican and it's for a southern state? he'll probably win.

He may seem earnest but try dealing wit this man as a customer for a few seconds and you'd understand...

[Psudo]

Just because he can register to run doesn't mean he's a serious candidate with any hope of victory. Alvin Greene is newsworthy precisely because he actually won a primary, something these kinds of candidates don't often achieve. Notice that no one is claiming Greene made it on merit; average folk recognize this kind of inability when they see it.

Basil will not win the primary.

I was reading about the candidates and issues for the primary here and I saw the name "Goodspaceguy" running for U.S Senator. His website gave me a good laugh.
