Governor Val Kilmer


I know, I know, it sounds like a joke right? Well, apparently it really isn't a joke. Bill Richardson, the current Governor of New Mexico and mandated by term limits to step down in 2011 thinks that Val Kilmer would be the best choice as his replacement. Although they have only talked it about superficially, Richardson said, "I like the idea. Val Kilmer is a New Mexican, he was Batman. You know there have been successful actors going into politics. I don't know how serious he is, but you know if he jumps in a race he's got name ID, so it can't be discounted."

Well, one thing is for sure, Val would make sure that fast food was subsidized for everyone. I think Val is in some kind of unwritten competition with me to see who can get the biggest. Goodness he has ballooned up nicely.

I'm trying to picture Val as a Governor. I know he does some charity work in New Mexico and involved with some animal rescue groups there. He really doesn't have a film career anymore, but at the same time is a big enough star where he would bring some attention to the state. Plus, he could set up some kind of video system outside the Governor's mansion and just play Top Secret and Real Genius on some kind of loop. Oh, and I'm sure Tom Cruise would be happy to come lend a hand and he and Katie will walk door to door telling people to vote for Val and offering a free stress test at the same time.
