Bring on the Chuck Norris jokes


I came across this today, and needed to mention it in a blog. It is both hilarious and hypocritical. To put it in a sentence, Republican presidential-hopeful John McCain threatened to have his mother "wash Chuck Norris' mouth out with soap" after the Hollywood action legend said McCain was too old for the White House. Norris also said that the vice president would most likely take over McCain's job in the middle of his presidency because of McCain's old age. McCain is 71 and Norris is 67. I digress.

God couldn't even get away with this one--only Chuck Norris.

Since Norris said he supports another Republican candidate, Mike Huckabee, this poses a question. How influential will celebrities be in pushing the public to vote for their candidates this November? With Democratic-hopeful Barack Obama getting support from Oprah and John Kerry, and Hillary getting support from actresses, will it be more of a factor in this election than in 2004 or 2000? Why or why not? I welcome your responses.
