Oh, the humanity.

I don't trust that the residents of Texas will do the right thing and keep him out of politics. He's a big enough ****** on ABC/ESPN, we don't need him douching it up in Washington, too.

**longtimeclone** · 12-13-2011, 03:38 PM

I wonder how well he is even liked in Texas? Can't imagine too many in Lubbock would.

If elected, this would be a huge blow to the rights of dead hookers everywhere.

**Cyclonepride** · 12-13-2011, 03:42 PM

He's a nimrod, and will therefore fit in perfectly.

**longtimeclone** · 12-13-2011, 03:45 PM

I wonder if he realizes that this is not a foot race.

Senate is the only place were killing hookers can get you elected.

See Ted Kennedy

Ten bucks says his first act of office is to launch an investigation into Washington State's coaching practices.

If he wins, I weep for Texas.

**chuckd4735** · 12-13-2011, 04:03 PM

So if he wins, he will no longer be on ESPN? Suddenly, I'm considering taking up residency in Texas...

But if he's a senator he'll have some measure of actual power. You can always hit "mute".

This could be a huge win. Hopefully ESPN will drop him, he won't get elected, and ESPN won't take him back. Oh, God, please let that happen.

This is the best case scenario.

Seriously though, some times I wish we had more qualifications for running for certain public offices. What training/knowledge/anything in Craig James's back groun qualifies him to hold that level of power? He's a wealthy ego maniac that ruthlessly wields his power against anyone who crosses him.

He's like a dumb Nixon.

I thought I heard ESPN wasn't renewing his contract.

I would imagine they'd have to limit his time on air if he comes out as an official candidate. I can't for the life of me figure out why the state of Texas would elect a man who's background is broadcast sports and got a man fired from his job because his kid didn't get enough playing time to the Senate. On the other hand, I come from the state of such political success stories as Jesse Ventura and Al Franken, so I can't really judge.
