Dear Friends:
Well, famous Hollywood actor, Val Kilmer, you must remember him from blockbusters like Batman and Heat, is pondering on the idea to run for Governor of New Mexico, according to Washington DC media pundits. Well, I don’t know much about NM politics, all I know is: Governor is a great Mexican American who ran to be president; then nominated to be our next secretary of commerce; and then we all know where that ended up…
Anyway, I guess Hollywood is trying to make a political comeback with one of their own this week. Yeap! I don’t know if you paid attention but Hollywood filmmakers were beat bad by Detroit auto-makers over hundreds of millions of dollars in tax credits during the stimulus debate earlier this week. But it is not like a surprise that a Hollywood actor would want to run for the governorship of his state. After all, remember, one of the most popular public figures of this country came from Hollywood; ended up defeating the Soviet Union; introduced Reagan-economics; and became one of the most popular presidents ever in the history of the Republic.
I love it when I see this type of news pop up in the political media class during times of a world financial mess, can you ever go wrong with one more actor in the political class of this country? I think not.
