President Walken?

(A note for you "West Wing" followers: no, this is not a post about the short-lived fictional Missouri Republican Representative/Speaker of the House turned temporary President Glenallen "Glen" Walken, so memorably (for better or worse...) portrayed on "The West Wing" by John Goodman. Sorry to disappoint.)

Bogus or no? -
Christopher Walken for President 2008.

I'm going with bogus.

But it does bring up the interesting (and truly important, if you ask me) question - If Ronald "Call me Ronnie" "Don't call me Ronnie anymore I prefer to be known as Christopher" "I really prefer being called Chris to Christopher because I think my adopted name Christopher sounds like a sneeze" Walken ran for President, would I vote for him?

Sure, he has that 'capable of taking over the world and subjecting it to his ruthless and totalitarian control and then spending hours laughing maniacally about it with that crazed evil look in his two-different-colored eyes' look about him, but then again on the flip side his choreographing and dancing in the video for Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice' is almost enough to make me vote for him just out of principle.

So really it's a toss-up between the prospect of slave life under the authoritarian regime of the all-benevolent Walken (I figure he would drop the first name once becoming dictator) and having a leader capable of a level of entertaiment value unparalleled throughout Oval Office history.

But fear not, as there are more factors to consider - The decisive factor for him getting my vote is the following quote of his, which when pictured coming out of his mouth is fairly hilarious:

"Bear costumes are funny... Bears as well."

Indeed. Bear costumes are funny.

How right you are Mr. Walken.

Or should I say, President Walken.
