To tell the truth, he's running
« on: January 04, 2006, 12:43:02 AM »
Former TTTT host - and, if I remember correctly, a part-time football player - Lynn Swann is expected to announce Wednesday he's running for governor as a Republican in Pennsylvania.  (Link from MSNBC)

I can see it now...he mounts the stage, and the loudspeakers blare out his campaign music..."It's a lie, lie, you're telling a lie..."

(yes, I know he hosted the 1990 version that didn't use the lyrics. Throw me a bone here.)

Yes. Yes! That's exactly what's going to happen. And then....and then!!!! Burton Richardson will take a microphone to the gallery of reporters so Lynn can play One-On-One with them as he takes their questions. And then...and then!!! Bob Barker will announce his candidacy for President of the United States because no matter what your station is in life and whatever your background is, there will always be a game show connection!

I think Don was just making a joke in his tongue-in-cheek manner. I don't think he was trying to be snarky, just making fun of others who want to post the next "Breaking News" (Man, I hate that phrase) just because it has the slightest connection to a game show.

What...you mean like every time some celebrity dies, some connection must be found? *THAT* is annoying.

Maybe he'll be replaced 3 months before the election by Alex Trebek.

Or Lisa Guerrero.

Or...Lynn uses the theme song in smear ads against his opponents.

"It's a lie, lie, you're telling a lie
I don't know why you don't know how...
TO TELL THE TRUTH!

Maybe it will be Lynn's campaign slogan?

Maybe the canidates will be voted by a 4-person panel after a two-minute Q&A session, and Alex Trebek could break the tie. ;)

Excellent point, man. I can't fathom why this wasn't brought up by the original poster to this topic thread.

Let's play "Oddsmaker" here.  What percent chance does Lynn have of becoming the next governor for the Commonwealth of PA?

My opinion: As Stat Boy might call it "the big SQUA-DOOSCH"!  NO CHANCE!  First of all the current governor has a stronghold in the biggest city in the state, since he was once its mayor o' course.  And, well...the democrats have plenty of material to use on him.  I could see the commercials now...

Announcer: Do you want this man leading the state of Pennsylvania?

(Cues video of Lynn performing ballet on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood)
