Hulk Hogan endorses Barack Obama (no, I'm not kidding). Filmclip in link!

In a move that's sure to provide a boost to Obama's fortunes among time-travelling high school kids from the early 1980s, Hulk Hogan - professional wrestler and reality teevee divorcee - has backed the Illinois Senator on the the Jimmy Kimmel show. Hogan, in picking Obama, cited something about "cards" and how Obama doesn't judge people based upon "the way people dress," which makes sense, considering Hogan offered his support whilst clad in a shimmery piece of yellow Saran Wrap that looked like it was stolen off the set of Miami Vice.

Hogan's endorsement ensures that at least one Democrat will join Republicans Mike Huckabee and John McCain in having one prominent supporter whose career is based on pretend ultraviolence. Though, in Hogan's defense, we remind you that wrestling is totally fixed--just like elections in Pakistan!

whoever gets the CarrotTop nod should start measuring the drapes now.

Lee Mercer!

but a lot can happen between now and then

I like that the Hulkster endorsed a democrat. When the internet first came to my college back in the early 90s, and my friends and I discovered chat rooms, we would go into a Rush Limbaugh chat room with the names HulkHogan and MachoMan and discuss politics while staying in character until they kicked or banned us. The longest we were banned was when we said something like, "HulkHogan scoops up MachoMan and bodyslams him straight to hell so he can visit with Nixon."

Hulk is a teddy at heart.

who will be really disappointed. I've sent this link along to hurry it up! :evilgrin:

(Although Flair is by far the better wrestler, Hogan is a bigger star.)

But welcome Hulk. I love your work with kids!

is that Hogan would actually get injured doing what he does. So, while wrestling is scripted, the injuries professional wrestlers incur are very real.

Segal? Van Damme? And who would in a fight between these 3?

:evilgrin:

WHEN THE HULKAMANIACS AND THE OBAMANIACS RUN WILD ON YOUUUUUUU?!

Good stuff though. I took him for a repuke. Sorry Hulk!

Will he ever wear his amazing Hulk tie again?

I mean LOOOOOOVED him.

:)

Now if only the UnderTaker comes out for Obama...

He took on the Iron Sheik, he can handle bin Ladin.

Not because Hulk is still a superstar, he's not. But it shows that the Republicans are losing the macho man vote, which they've had a lock on for a long time. Repukes are no longer seen as the party for tough guys. I guess 8 years of bumbling incompetence will do that.
