Default Political office?
Sonny Bono did it. Clint Eastwood too. As well as Schwartznegger and Reagan. But do you think there is any chance of any Macster running for some sort of political office?

That's what they said about Reagan too.

John should be the next governor of Arizona.

Sure, that's EXACTLY where John McVie should be...landlocked. Right.

Once Mick finds out how much can be made in political bribes, I think he'll try to run for SOMETHING. However, THIS picture will be the premature end of his political career...

Would sound funny. Arizona has a John Mac in the senate (where they ramble on and on, like Mick). And then a John Mac as governor. McCain and McVie. Whoa.

In actuality of course, to run for governor of a state, a candidate would have to live in that particular state. Maybe John could run for governor of California. He has more brains than the Gropinator and he will definetely not use "Don't Stop" as a campaign song. Gropenfuhrer is using too many lines from his damn movies.

He's not living in CA anymore though...is now in Hawaii.

Although he is a pretty sharp cookie (for a republican ) I couldn't see him personality-wise ever running for office!

that was a good point. Mick is a natural politician, with all the inherent qualities that implies.
When I first saw the caption to your photo, I thought you had Mick wearing some Super Outfit and marching in a gay pride parade. (you know, the Castro?)

Gray Davis was a bore. John could have a chance in Hawaii.

True. The only reason he hasn't run for some office is because he's not a citizen. Otherwise, you might be looking at Mayor Mick Fleetwood or Rep. Mick Fleetwood. He might even go far as Sen. Mick Fleetwood (where he belongs, like John says). He's an opportunist.

He sure is. And like some other politicians, I'm sure he has lots of good intentions mixed with self serving effluvium. You know, the usual. And that's for good politicians.

He reminded me of a less photogenic Anderson Cooper, and completely devoid of Cooper's smarmy charm.
