#CTGOPBattleRoyale: Linda McMahon Going On Air In NYC

Endorsements roll in (4.00 / 2)

From the Daily Beast (if you weren't aware, a non-wrestling news blog, despite the name):

"Connecticut needs Linda McMahon," said Lanny "The Genius" Poffo, who wrestled in the WWE in the 1980s and '90s. "She is the opposite of Nancy Pelosi."

From now on, I am going to refer to Lanny Davis as Lanny "The Political Imbecile" Davis...

Poffo praised McMahon as a deficit hawk, as someone who would push Congress to balance the budget. "She'll be something new in the Senate, someone who is very conscientious," Poffo said.

Also, the Senate doesn't have any nut-kickers, so that'll be something new as well

"Luscious" Johnny Valiant, who joined the federation in 1967, concurred. "I bet she'd be very good," he said from his apartment in New York. "She's very worldly and she has a very good pulse on what the people on the street are saying."

Wait a second! I think Johnny and Lanny should switch nicknames - doesn't "Luscious" Lanny and Johnny "Genius" sound much better?

Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, and "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart could not be reached at press time.

I swear, I did not make the last line up!!!

McMahon's greatest political liability will almost certainly be her husband. Vince McMahon's onscreen antics have gone far beyond Linda's; he has admitted (in the non-wrestling world) to being unfaithful. Where she is relentlessly on-message, he says whatever he wants. "The idea that Vince McMahon could be in the vicinity of one of our lawmaking bodies just frightens me," says Jim Cornette, who worked for the McMahons for a dozen years as a performer, creative-team member, and color commentator.

Wait, he's a color commentator for wrestling, I think when you have to quote him YOU HAVE TO USE ALL CAPS AND FIFTEEN EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need pictures of the scantily clad daughter (0.00 / 0)

I'm sure she'll be on of the "card girls" between rounds in the Republican debates which are surely going to use WWE rules.
