Obama Sews Up Endorsement From All-Important Hulkamaniac Contingent
Posted by Mark Graham at 9:09 AM on February 20, 2008
Say your prayers, eat your vitamins and vote for Barack Obama! Or so sayeth Hulk Hogan, who suplexed and then leg-dropped an unsuspecting Clinton camp last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live by pledging his allegiance and his vote to Obama. And although our experience in the art of campaigning begins and ends with our run for Student Council back in high school (which, we might add, was successful ... three times!), we're pretty darn sure that the Obama ticket could really benefit by awarding the Hulkster a spot on to their roster. Perhaps this is finally the way that Obama can silence the critics who claim he lacks experience in foreign diplomacy!
Think about it; not only did the Hulkster successfully crush the Communist Party and end the Cold War back in the `80s by defeating the evil tyrant Nikolai Volkoff, he also managed to run roughshod over Iran (The Iron Sheik), France (Andre The Giant) and, um, Uganda (The Ugandan Giant). If that doesn't make someone supremely qualified to at least serve as a United States ambassador abroad, then our name isn't Shirley Temple Black. And if you're looking for someone to deliver a balls-to-the-wall stump speech, we're hard pressed to think of anyone who can get a crowd pumped up faster than one Hulk Hogan ... BROTHER! Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go and finish off this bowl of Mr. T cereal.

I hate to be a buzzkill and a know-it-all (especially about Jimmy Kimmel and professional wrestling) but last nights Kimmel was a repeat from the end of January. Since then Hulk Hogan has backed off from his endorsement most publically on The View last week where he proclaimed he was "confused" and "changed his mind".
Link is a video of that appearance.

P.S. I'm pretty sure WWE monster KANE stands behind his endorsement of Ron Paul.

@kurometarikku: See, this is why we never usually bother covering Jimmy Kimmel. The writers just got back and he's already taking a vacation? No buzz.

Cool. Now we may get to see Hulk and Chuck go at it like a pair of bitches that they are...
