On hand for the announcement was Candidate Weather’s good friends Irvin Winkler and Sly Stallone. Mr. Stallone had only good things to say about his friend, and his chances for governor. “He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and he’s very inspiring, like his character in ‘Happy Gilmore’”.
The current governor of Louisiana could not be reached for comment.
Yeah Right
He's got my vote.
He's got my vote.
I lived next to Carl on Whidbey Island. He is a great guy and I think he would be a wonderful governor!
Interestingly, Sonny Landham actually did run for governor of Kentucky in 2002, but his campaign was derailed when it was revealed that he did porno as a young actor. No shit.

Although the post is a joke, the Sonny Landham stuff is for real.
I always liked Carl and have seen many of his films. He's very nice looking too. If anyone has his address that I may just send a note to him, please let me know. I know he lived in Seattle but may be running for gov. in Lousianna. Please contact me if anyone has any other information.
Thank you,
Ms. Rachel :)
I was Account Executive for Carl while working with Reist K. Myers Accountancy Corporation. I've yet to meet a kinder, nicer, gentler, more caring person. My best wishes go to Carl and do truly hope he joins the political team in some executive form in the near future as he is a very smart, witty, and sensitive human being.
