INNEAPOLIS (Jan. 13) - Minnesota voters, who eight years ago elected a former professional wrestler as their governor, may find a self-proclaimed vampire on the ballot for the office this year.
"Politics is a cut-throat business," said Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey, who said he plans to announce his bid for governor Friday on the ticket of the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party.
Like Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who was elected governor as an independent in 1998, the 41-year-old Sharkey once was a wrestler. He went by the nickname "The Unholiest of Kings: Tarantula" on obscure professional circuits.
"I'm a satanist who doesn't hate Jesus," Sharkey told Reuters. "I just hate God the Father."
However, he claims to respect all religions and if elected, will post "everything from the Ten Commandments to the Wicca Reed" in government buildings.
Wow. I never realized how amusing Minnesota politics is! This should be an entertaining Governor race!
Er... even if this cheezeball did win, I expect that execution by impaling is illegal.
I dont know, this guy seems a little nuts and the whole satanist part i dont like too much but if he would be fair and not prejudiced towards any religion, maybe he do an alright job. But still I think i would watch him closely before giving him such a high political position.
OMFG I love this guy! :yippee:
He's having a joke on everyone! I bet they're all flipping out, while he sits back and laughs.
He's having the time of his life giving all the fundamentalists a big scare, while he gets to play the #1 bad guy. He's an entertainer remember? All that pro-wrestling is theatrics.
This guys a performer, trying to make a point. I bet he'd be shocked if he actually won.
I wish we had a "vampires witches and pagans" party here so I could join.
Now he's posted pics of himself with George and Jeb Bush, with whom he claims to have a personal relationship. And the pics are real. He even has E-mails.
One paper seems to have caught onto him :
"The ranting of a satanic lunatic? More like political genius!"
:firedevil:
GO SHARKEY!
YEAH, I DOUBT HE'LL WIN NOW
