That's like saying that a professional wrestler, like say, umm, Jesse Ventura, could become a Minnesota governor. Or that a writer, and performer, for Saturday Night Live, like, let's say, Al Franken, could become a United States senator. Or that a pop rock singer, like Sonny Bono, could become a member of the United States House of Representatives. Or that someone who posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmopolitan magazine, like, umm, Scott Brown, could become a United States senator. All are impossible. Just exactly what have you been smoking, you tree hugging, tie dyed wearing, Oregonian hippie?

Or an Austrian born, body builder turned Hollywood action movie star becoming governor of California. .....that's my favorite example.

Also impossible. What are you alligator loving, sun worshiping, manatee kissing, Floridians snorting these days?
