Meet Basil Marceaux, a candidate for the Republican nomination in Tennessee’s gubernatorial race. Frankly, I have some doubts about Marceaux’s chances of winning the election, but he’s already attained a far more desirable position: instant membership in the YouTube Hall of Fame. He’s like Miss Teen South Carolina, but drunk and disheveled and running for office.

If the news clip from Nashville’s NBC affiliate WSMV isn’t enough for you, Stephen Colbert also addressed Marceaux’s impressive platform on last night’s “Colbert Report” (see video below). I especially like his idea to “plant grass or vegetation across the state where any vacant lot and sell it for gas, so we can use it for our expenses.” Such as the Iraq.
