Hulk Hogan Endorses Barack Obama For President 
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

   

"Who will Hulk Hogan be endorsing for President?" Jimmy Kimmel asked Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.  We're sure Hogan was probably there to promote his Gladiators nonsense, as he just did on Letterman, but this is not something that held our interest for the full segment (plus, we'll only watch CBS on YouTube...we're still boycotting, over this, among other things).

"If I had to step out," Hulk answered, "And say who I really believe in, that catches my ear, that makes sense, that really can make a change, I would say [Barack] Obama."

"Everybody plays this card - the bad guy card, you know the dirty politics thing, talk about the way people dress, act and look - and, he's the choice...He seems like the real deal, you know."

As we've mentioned before, the two candidates who have truly avoided mudslinging at all costs are Republican candidates Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, who coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) are the only two candidates left in the race that the media is giving next to no coverage to.

We haven't heard Barack say anything derogatory, and we like his presence, but his campaign has most definitely joined in on the mudslinging against fellow Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

But wait a minute - why in the world would anyone want to know who Hulk Hogan wants for President?  We never said we were above commenting on people's outfits, and we've just got to remark on the iridescent yellow skintight barf-inducing shirt that Hogan wore on Jimmy Kimmel...which looked to us like the same one he wore on The Late Show with David Letterman recently.

And fashion statements completely aside, Hulk Hogan is an actor on wrestling programs infamous for their scripted "reality."  He's suddenly the expert on what's real?

On a very serious note, the Hulk should be more concerned with his son's upcoming trial.  Which, by the way, out of 121 votes, 87% of you told us in our poll that Nick Hogan should be prosecuted for what he did, with only 13% of you saying he should be let off the hook.
