OT* - Lou Holtz Waking the Congressional Echoes?
Apparently Lou Holtz is considering a run for Congress. I'm excited for his pre-dabte press conferences when he talks up his opponents and explains how he has no chance of winning. And I'm excited about the debates themselves, in which he slobbers all over the moderators. Boy I hope this happens!

*Maybe not totally off-topic; the article does reference Holtz's insane comparison of RichRod to Hitler. Good times!
P.S. This post was in no way intended to initiate any sort of political discussion, or "poflawa," so please refrain. It was intended only to initiate the making fun of Lou Holtz.

Alcohol and Painkillers...The Congressional Way!
I guess I don't share in animosity toward the guy? He definitely shows Michigan love on ESPN. If Mark May were running however...
I think my dislike for him stems from his constant, unabashed, and wholly-biased love for everything that is Notre Dame football. I've learned not to expect too much objectivity from ESPN and its talking heads, but at least ESPN is generally talking up teams that are actually good, like USC (and Ohio State and Michigan in 2006).
Yeah. He said ND would win 10+ games last year.
This is the only compelling reason for watching CSPAN I've ever heard. Please let this happen.
meh....it's not like he could fuck it up anymore than the guys that are already congressman.
to differ
He would instantly become one of the most aggravating politicians in Washington, which is really saying something.
the people in Lisp County?
This would mean that he'd have to leave his job at ESPN.
If only we could force all the annoying media personalities to leave their current jobs by sending them into politics to make laws we have to live with. Clearly you've got your priorities straight.
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
Checked again today, still not funny
Rain coats and umbrellas will be standard issue for all meetings of Congress.
how awesome it would be when he rips up a bill in front of Congress, and then magically makes it whole again!
"Holtz would join a crowded GOP primary if he ran, but some Republicans think a celebrity would be able to effectively fundraise and bring attention and name recognition to the campaign.
'You put him in the ring and it's all but over," John Dowless, an Orlando-based Republican consultant told the Sentinel. "He's on TV, he's likable, the name ID is huge and people respect him enormously.' "
Ok now I know we're not supposed to get into politics here, but wasn't it a year ago the Republicans tried to disparage the Democratic presidential nominee as an elite celebrity, someone far removed and out of touch with the common man? God I hate politicians, but probably not as much as I hate political consultants
