NPR: Chuck Norris, the GOP's New Dream Endorsement?

Chuck Norris, the GOP's New Dream Endorsement?

Filed under: Election 2008

What the what? Newsweek reports in the December 10 issue that the Chuck and Huck team -- actor Chuck Norris and candidate Mike Huckabee -- is the "GOP's Delta Force," calling Norris the next Charlton Heston.

Really? I suppose if I had to choose between feeling the wrath of Norris' sidekick body slam or giving political props to Chuck Norris, I'd go with the later ... But only because I fear the nunchuck. And this campaign video:

Like a bizarro version of Where's Waldo, Norris was in the audience of the Neo-Facist.... oh sorry, slip of the tongue... of the Republican Youtube debate.

It's lame really... a presidential campaign relying so heavily on the same demographic college humour dot com and mountain dew fishes for.

The ad spot starts of with the topic of securing 'the border' then jumps to "Mike Huckabee's a lifelong hunter". Of what? The Deadliest Game of all? While Huckabee's never shot anyone, unlike the Vice President, it's still creepy and comical to juxtapose the 2 issues.
