  1. That’s it. I’m running for governor of Tennessee. Apparently any numbnuts can there.

    • dissimilitude says:

      He won’t win.

      My question is how he managed to get enough signatures to get ON the ballot. He’s kind of a hoot, though.

      • Well I should hope he won’t win. He makes GWB sound like a Shakespearean actor in comparison.

        • Sue says:

          Of course, now that Sarah Palin is comparing herself to Shakespeare as well, I think we need to raise the bar…

        • Lilian says:

          Well, sounding smart doesn’t make a leader, nor a person of character, nor someone who actually is smart.

          That being said, that was not a well-spoken gig. But he is amusing.

      • blackAngel says:

        He’s the guy that gets only the votes of those who want to make fun of him. Like in class…

      • terwashere says:

        It’s easy to get signatures for anything. You can either tell people a lie and hope they don’t read, so they’ll sign anyway, OR there are always the people who will sign just so that they will get the opportunity to vote you down, thus magnifying your failure. :)

      • Murry says:

        He’s not on the ballot.

        but anything that could be the slightest bit entertaining makes the news here… anything.

        • Jettinmemphis says:

          Nope – he’s is ON the official Voting Ballot. I’m sitting here looking at the copy I printed from the Election Commission website. 3rd from the top. Just because that website doesn’t have him, doesn’t mean the mentally challenged man isn’t on the ticket. He is.

    • Legend says:

      I live in Tennessee. I’ve never once heard this guy’s name anywhere, so no, he’d be lucky if he gets 5-10 votes throughout the state.

  2. MadameDefarge says:

    That station is allowing all the Dem & Repub candidates a time slot to say whatever they want, but they’re not extending that courtesty to any other parties or independents. Figure that out.

    • At this point, I’d say it’s primarily for entertainment value.

      • angie says:

        hey you lot just think yourself lucky, you dont have Tim nice but dim and Kevin the teenager running the country like we do, …. look up Harry Enfield on something tube

    • dissimilitude says:

      I noticed that when I first saw the clip yesterday. At first it struck me as unfair, but then I remembered — it’s for the primaries. The Dem & Repub primaries. Any indie or third-party candidates won’t be involved, they’ll just be in the general election later.

  3. Kestrel MacKnight says:

    But if you kill someone you’ll be murdered and sent to jail.

    Look at his website if you really need something to scar you for life.

  4. semperfidd says:

    I never trust anyone named after a major spice.

  5. Jane St.Clair says:

    BASIL!!! You made it here, love of my life! <3

    Basil Marceaux is the man TN needs: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=112332328817805#!/group.php?gid=112332328817805

    Support Basil Marceaux if you believe in freedom.

    • dissimilitude says:

      Good lord, he’s figured out how to log into facebook? The website was pathetic enough. I’m scared to look.

      • dissimilitude says:

        Oh, ok, it’s a …hmm, do you still call it a fansite when they’re making fun? :???:

        • Kestrel MacKnight says:

          It’s how Carrot Top counts his fans.

          Besides. The guy figured out how to (albeit REALLY POORLY) make a website, facebook is easier than the formatting he did there.

      • What’s great is they’ve linked to PK, and are pushing it as a positive thing for Basil. *waves at visitors from Basil’s site* He’s a freaking idiot! Find another candidate!

    • whitewolf55 says:

      He had to put down TN because he couldn’t spell Tennessee.

  7. JD says:

    He’s a Republican version of Alvin Greene.

    • Kestrel MacKnight says:

      While I’m not trying to defend Alvin Greene, I’m really not, I’ve yet to hear anything from him akin to murdering people and then putting them in jail, or grow grass or vegetation and then sell it to cover our expenses for vacant lot.

      Or according to his website that school violents is a problem.

      I’m thinking that Alvin Greene is a step up… but I could just be missing things about Alvin Greene.

      • Justacarolinian says:

        Read this. {http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hNyH1XTKf1Adc_-fGBAefXf8YYEQD9H4A2S80}

        “An evaluation said that “while Alvin is a decent person, he lacks the basic skills necessary for promotion,” adding that he “required a daily to-do list” and had a “consistent inability to follow instructions or maintain basic job knowledge.”

  8. bunbun1 says:

    what a maroon. really quite humorous though.

  9. Wendy says:

    Lol, a republican version of Al Franken!

  10. TnBelle says:

    I’m from Tennessee, and I’ve never heard of this man before. All I have to say is, “Oh, god. I need to move.”

  11. Firebert says:

    Is this guy constantly drunk? Or maybe has brain damage from his Marine experiences?

  12. Dan, ad nauseam says:

    Next, a candidate statement by Marcel Marceau

  13. beany says:

    I bet this guy could tell Katie Couric what newspapers he reads.

  14. Colman says:

    Finally a Republican who says what the other Republicans want to say but aren’t eloquent enough.

  15. jack says:

    C’mon America – don’t let us down. This guy’s PRESIDENTIAL material!

  16. almoore says:

    What’s the big deal? He seems like a typical republican to me…

  17. Somebody says:

    Why is Wilford Brimley running for Governor?

  18. Deanna says:

    I did not know Elmer Fudd and Petunia Pig had a slow-headed love child. We all say Amen!

  19. Justin says:

    Straight from his website:

    “c. See why dental is not in most plans a tooth aches hurt more than a back aches and no teeths depresses people”

    Basil makes a good point. If I had no teeths, I would be pretty depressed.

  20. bitter troll says:

    BRILLIANT!
    instead of a special olympics for retard kids and guys in wheel chairs, we can has a special congress, where the real work gets done! only the mentally challanged may apply since wheel chair dudes are normally smert thinking and junk too

  21. rrrrrrrrr says:

    Kononowicz!!! wersja amerykanska

  22. Bex says:

    Does he have a bukkit? =)

  23. Taneen says:

    Oh no.. at least Fat Basterd, nemesis of Austin Powers was recognisable as a villain, Baysil Marceaux is probably recognisable as one of the Sons of Tennessee and could win at least wun, too or tree votes from dems peeples of his. Lord Preserve Us.. but at least they do provide us with some comic relief.

  24. Taneen says:

    OH GOD… thank you ,,, best laugh I’ve had today and boy do I need it!!! OK… which ”real” flag has 3 stripes??? unless I”m not hearing him properly and he really said 3 stars (state flag of TN). I guess my foreign ears can’t understand his properly. And plant grass to sell for gas and use it as profits? And what has innocent cars have to do with removing all stop signs? Say the Pledge of Allegiance when you come out… of the closet??? HELP.. I need a Tennessee – English dictionary!

    Somebody must have bet this fellow a couple of hundred dollars that he couldn’t stand up in front of camera and make that speech.

    • MarySC says:

      A copy and paste from his website:

      Make the Court system, Congess, Army, Navy ,Air Force to Fly the same flag as the Marine Corp which is the three color U.S. Flag.

  25. Flinch says:

    This is why I’m glad that I live in Canada.

  26. Isaac says:

    Marceaux/Greene 2012! The, uh…uh, bipa-,uh no,hmmmmm… What’s the word? Oh! The bisexual ticket, no, that’s not right… The uh… Dang! Why can’t I think of that word?! I pray to God and say amen to figure out the answer. Oh well. Have a nice day, and we’ll see you at the polls!

  27. sally haskins says:

    I love Marceaux! He shows a real understanding of the issues at hand, and stands up for old fashioned values the way a southern gentlemen ought to! He is what we need more of in politics.
