Who's the next Illinois GOP hopeful after Ditka, Nugent? Place your bets!

[FredScuttle]

I say this will be the next name....native Chicagoan, good family man, long-standing Republican, active in his community (REALLY active).



aka JW Gacy




There is, of course, the small problem of resurrecting his evil ass.

1. The Zombie Corpse of Ronald Reagan

2. It had better as hell be me...

5. Gary Coleman

eom

6. I just read over at Atrios that 30 days prior to his physical Nugent

stopped bathing and existed on nothing but vienna sausages and Pepsi.
He filled his drawers for days with excrement and urine prior to the exam. But he does say that he would have killed or been killed if he had gone to Vietnam. Right.

[amber dog democrat]

10. that is an urban myth

it was penut butter, not excrement.

[demgrrrll]

11. The source was Chickenhawk from the Detroit Free Press which noted

that the story has never been refuted. I'm not arguing that it isn't an urban myth, the story may be just that but apparently there are those who don't agree.

7. Al Capone

Just another Chicago business man. And probably a Rebug as well.

8. How about Dick, I mean Rich Vernon

From Shermer High. Don't mess with the bull, or you'll get the horns.

[mermaid]

15. Shermer High??

Are you refering to Shermer, Illinois? There IS NO Shermer in Illinois!
I got the Sixteen Candles reference, if that is what you were going for...

[tridim]

17. It's actually a Breakfast Club reference

Shermer Illinois is fictional. http://www.riverblue.com/hughes/shermer.html

19. My Bad

You are correct. It is Breakfast Club. I had the wrong John Hughes film, there. But I knew Shermer Illinois was fictional!

[AntiCoup2K4]

9. Hillary Clinton!

Yeah, I know it's not possible for her to be the "Democratic" senator from NY and the Repuke senator from Illinois at the same time, but since the Freepers want her to run for office so goddamn bad, might as well write her in.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. "spider dan"

that kook who climbed the outside of the sears tower a couple decades ago.. He could capitalize on the "spider man" hoopla.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Joe Scheidler...

Director of the "Pro-Life Action League" ..opposed to all forms of birth control (which he has called "human pesticides" that turn people into "masturbation machines") ... a real bona fide religious right kook. Go get 'em!

[KamaAina]

14. Steve Bartman!

A perfect fit if ever there was one for the smoking ruin that is the Illinois repuke party today.

:-)

[Bjornsdotter]

16. We Never....

....mention "He Who Must Not Be Named"!

18. Popeye or Superman

Popeye is from Chester and Superman is from Metropolis. (not that they'd accept the Republicans' offer)

If they want a tangible candidate, I suppose they could consider Ray Bradbury. He's been making some noise lately.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. BOZO!

He'd be a perfect runningmate for Jeb in 2008!

[ClassWarrior]

22. How about "Da Bearsss..." guys?

Oh wait, Ditka said he wouldn't run.
