Republicans recruit Hercules to help their campaign!

09/20/2012



WASHINGTON -- House Republicans got a treat on Thursday when Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), now the Republican vice presidential nominee, showed up at their weekly conference meeting. But they were even more excited by another superhuman visitor: Hercules.

Actor Kevin Sorbo, best known for playing Hercules in the former TV series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys," also came to the meeting and got lawmakers all riled up, according to several Republican sources.

Sorbo talked to lawmakers about his upbringing in a Democratic household in Minnesota and described the "shock from his father" when he said he was voting for Ronald Reagan in 1980, according to a GOP official. Sorbo said he decided to vote for Reagan because he thought Jimmy Carter would go down "as one of the worst presidents in history," the official said.

5. What the hell is it with Republicans and

movie star action heroes? Are they too stupid to understand that what's happening in the magic box is make-believe? What are they, kindergarteners?

I guess we need to start dragging Mark Hamill around. "You have a pretend war hero and a pretend gritty cop and a pretend hero from a mythology you know nothing about? Well fuck you guys, we not only have A Jedi, we have THE Jedi!"

6. Hercules...

Strong yet dumb. Also an Insane Family Killer.

He had to do his 12 labors because he killed his wife and children in a fit of madness.

Oh wait, Kevin Sorbo, the scrawny Hercules... Sorry, completely forgot about that guy.
