6. Ah. I guess NPR the other day was wrong then--I could have sworn

they said he was born in India.

Oh God, I sound like one of those fucking birther whack jobs.

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. Nope. New Jersey.

So he's eligible. And a hell of a lot better than Piyush "Bobby" Jindal!

Here's the shocking news though..... the guy who starred in two movies revolving around an obsession with White Castle hamburgers.....

is a vegetarian!!

4. Depends on what the countries attitude towards Marijuana is in 2024

If the laws have been reversed and the whole thing exposed as a failure, finally, then he would definitely have a chance if he was serious about it.

5. LOL. That would be weird if people tried

to hold him accountable for ACTING roles. I wonder if all of Reagan's roles were pure?

16. I was just being pragmatic, I like him too

Just pointing out what I think he might face. The sex scenes with the pot bags (so funny!) that I love would be used against him by assholes. I certainly hope he can launch a successful political career. He's very smart and serves America well.

7. that idea has a strange appeal n/t

8. Excellent idea.

Have him move back here to Jersey after a couple years at the White House, and we can run him as Corzine's replacement in 2013.

9. I can see it.

10. "My fellow Democrats, I proudly accept your nomination

for the Presidency of the United States. I've got a pound of primo shit here, and we are all getting BAKED OFF OUR ASSES!"

12. lol!!!

ah, one can dream

[Jennicut]

11. I love him.

He is so cool and intelligent and cute too. He should run as a Rep or Senator some day.

[ClarkUSA]

13. He's a shoo-in if he can become a Senator or Governor in the meantime.

Bobby Jindal, eat your heart out.

14. RIP Kutner/Ahmed nt

15. If he can get John Cho be to his running mate.. and hold all his rallies at White Castles.
