Christopher Walken 2008
So, as far as I can tell, this is legit. And it's not just, like, some funny random group trying to get him elected. He's actually behind this. There's a press release and everything.

Beyond the fact that it's silly...I'm not sure. I won't immediately discount him, and I'd actually be interested to see what his platform shapes up to be.

But c'mon. Walken for President? I really would love to see him screaming "More Cowbell!! I need more Cowbell!" at Kim Jong Il.

He's got my vote. I doubt he could fuck things up any more than the current president.

Haha, oh hell yeah I want to see Christopher Walken as president. Arnold can go suck it.


Now isn't that a face you can trust?

But he has to do press conferences in his "headless horseman" costume and say things like "ARRGH!"

His Captain Kirk cadence would make press conferences surreal.

Hey, anyone who can spend 5 years in a Vietnamese prisoner camp with a gold pocket watch hid in his buttocks gets my vote.

Hey, if Ronald Reagan can do it, why not Christopher Walken? I wouldn't vote for him just because he's an actor, but if I liked his stance on things, why not?

Just think about his role in the Dead Zone for a second...

OK.

You can carry on now.

He is a totally cool, genuine man who is brilliant, funny, and committed. I would love to see it play out from my viewpoint north of the border.

I had that thought as well. He should have ran in 2004.

snowy

Even Slate can't say for sure whether this is real or not, but most sources seem to say this is a hoax. Walken's publicist is denying that he will run in 2008. So there you have it.

He'd get my vote....I love this man...love love love this man....For some reason thinking of him as president reminds me of his role in Joe Dirt (yes Im one of the few people in the world that actually liked that movie)

Hell Yeah. Walken would get my vote anyday.

He'd have to be as good as Reagan, and he's a much better actor and dancer...remember this?
