I kept looking for "Basil Marceaux dot com" on the ballot but there was just some impostor there named Basil Marceaux.

"... Basil Marceaux -- who apparently had been recently injured in a tragic sausage-making incident -- discussed his revolutionary position on forced 2nd Amendment rights.

...

Marceaux later illuminated his stance on capital punishment, saying that if troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan were to murder someone, "he'd have no choice" but to kill her." (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/03/basil-marceaux-tennessee_n_668690.html)

"VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE! (Except violating a citizen rights this would be a special punishment ) "

This video is so hilarious.  I almost choked on my own tears:

He might have had a shot if this were Louisiana circa 1884.

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

Well, he's on to something.  If I were voting in a Tennessee GOP primary, this man would certainly have my vote. ;)

I think if I could vote in every GOP primary nationally, that joke candidates would receive the majority of my votes

He says he's open to a run for president:

Yeah, he's toast. If he moves to Atlanta or somewhere though he'd have a great chance.

I've actually changed planes in Memphis before.  I don't remember what airline stops there though.  I wonder if Memphis is big enough to qualify in pbrower's eyes.


Title: Re: Basil Marceaux
Post by: Lunar on August 09, 2010, 12:28:49 AM
Might be close enough for the V.P. slot?  Might not be enough to win the primary election outright, but I'm sure Memphis has good connections to South Carolina

It's the main hub for FedEx, so maybe he could ship himself to campaign stops.

FedEx is perfect.  As we all know, a major part of the air hub quandry is the difficulty in shipping in your own sound system:

The candidate can use private aircraft all that he wants, as can staff. But delivering and setting up sound systems is prohibitively expensive by private plane.

If you could ship it directly from Memphis, you'd be set.  Basil Marceaux will have the awesomest personal sound system of any candidate!

Northwest had a hub there, so Delta now, I'd assume.

Here's hoping Basil keeps running for something in 2011 and 2010 - there's an audience out there on YouTube which far outnumbers his votes in the primary....

Nashville is a hub for Southwest (unofficially, as they don't use a true hub system but I've connected there before), if they count.
