The Rent Is Too Damn High!
10.19.10
New York 1 televised last night’s gubernatorial debate, and it’s a damn shame that it didn’t have a worldwide feed, because it was the kind of political freak show that usually only happens in California. The runaway star was Jimmy McMillan of — I’m dead serious — The Rent Is Too Damn High Party. Aside from wearing black gloves and the facial hair of a Civil War general, McMillan garnered attention with his message (something about rent, I believe) and with delightfully nonsensical sentences:
“As a karate expert, I will not talk about anyone up here, because our children cannot afford to live anywhere.”
Jimmy McMillan for governor of New York, everybody. Watch the fantastic video below, and wait for the Internet to go to work with its newest meme.

Yup, this is my State. We are fucked. Did this guy ever think a lot of women can’t afford to feed their children because they are having too many of them? Usually without a father. Fuck this guy and the rest of them for that matter.
Also, somewhere in Boston a guy is really pissed that he shares the same name as this nut job.
He’s just trying to secure more Smores Schnapps for his troops.
I’d make a joke about KFC and Colonel Sanders, but there’s no way it doesn’t come out racist.
^ Since when has THAT stopped you. :)
Back in 2005 this guy said some antisemitic shit then posted an apology on his website. I know what your thinking, “That lunatic on the news tried to blame something on Jews? Nooooo” but it’s true! I know, that almost never always happens.
“You’re”. Fuck.
I expect an Auto-Tune the News video of this guy by the end of the day.
@UU-
You’re still in better shape than Delaware. The Rent is Too Damn High > Anti-’batin.
It really says something about a debate when Carl Paladino is only the third craziest person on stage, after Glovey McBurnsides here and the “Manhattan Madam.”
It’s actually a shame she wasn’t on stage last time around. She and Spitzer would’ve had a lot to talk about.
Dear New York,
Thanks, and all our best.
Love,
Florida
this guy ran in the last election and got 4000 write in votes.
Autotune the news in 3… 2…
THEY TOOK RRRR JOBS!!!!! RABBLE! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!
I’d vote for him over a witch, hell even a Republican
B-b-but… the rent is too damn high!
No way, lowercase. Florida’s just waiting to bury this guy. I have faith in this great wang that I live in.
UU: Our state’s been screwed up for decades. No one on that stage has any power to fix things with the way the state legislature operates.
That said, Gov. McMillan would give us a highly entertaining four years in Albany.
@PC, good points. Anyone in NY that pays attention to things knows that Shelly Silver runs the show in Albany.
I wanna know what he’s gonna do about Jubal Early rampaging about in the Shenandoah Valley?
For him, the war is never over.
This cat and Mr T as Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes or GTFO. And karate? “The Dane Cook of martial arts?” Perhaps he’d earn more win more votes if he mastered Krav Maga.
I’m still thinking he fought for the Confederates.
“As a piano expert, I will not talk about anyone who lives in St. Louis, because our children cannot afford the cable bill.”
Without the black gloves, his hands of steel can’t be contained.
this guy is funny i think e may have a lot to offer us we should vote for him
