Christopher Walken in 2008

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.

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

Sure to be revealed as an elaborate hoax in a few weeks.

The big question, of course: Is "Walken for President" for real? According to one source, the entire campaign, including registration of multiple Web domain names, is an elaborate hoax being perpetrated by members of the General Mayhem forums, one of the largest message boards on the Internet.

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?

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.

Is Walken going to run?

Aug. 15, 2005 at 9:50PM

A Web site announcing Hollywood actor Christopher Walken plans to seek the U.S. presidency is a hoax, his publicist says.
The site, walken2008.com claims to quote the actor as saying, "It's time to get America back on track," and says he will run for the nation's top post in 2008.
But his rep told "Entertainment Tonight" Monday that the sit is "100 percent not true."
"(It) sounds like someone got a little too excited over his role as secretary of the Treasury in 'The Wedding Crashers' and now they want to make him president," the rep said.
