WHATCHU TALKIN’ ABOUT, WILLIS?

Gary Coleman has thrown his hat into the ring in the California governor’s race! John Lemon and Steven at Poliblog were joking about this the other day (I can’t find the post and am too lazy to hunt) and now it happens. It’s hard to be a satirist these days–especially when dealing with California.
Even better, perhaps bouyed by his strong showing in my Top Comedians poll, Gallagher has thrown his hat in as well. And promptly smashed it with a giant mallet.

Actually, it was just JL who mentioned Coleman. I have made cracks about Larry the Flynt and Arianna, however.

Ah. It’s hard to keep the reality and the parody straight around here.

Ah. I just assumed it was a joke. I mean, Larry Flynt, sure. But Gary Coleman?!

I think Gary Coleman is the only one of the Different Strokes cast that is not either (a) dead, or (b) incarcerated.

And Gary Coleman has been on The Simpsons, something which Arnie has yet to achieve in his career. (I know the obvious caveat is that McBain — i.e., Ranier Wolfcastle — is the Arnie character on the show, but it is not voiced by Arnie.)

And if this story was not bizzare enough….
Gary Coleman said today he was voting for Arnold!
I’ll report, you shake your head.
