[QUOTE]Action-movie star Steven Seagal says he is considering a run for Arizona governor.
The "Marked for Death" actor told KNXV-TV that he is considering a shot at the state's highest office and has had a talk about the bid with the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America.
The 61-year-old made the comments while talking about his newly released reality series "Steven Seagal - Lawman: Maricopa County."
Seagal teamed up with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for the show that was shot in Arizona and airs on cable TV's Reelz Channel.
The martial arts expert is a member of Arpaio's posse, made up of 3,000 unpaid civilians. He also has been deputized with sheriff's offices in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana and says he wants to increase border security.[/QUOTE]

He'll Judo Chop the competition.
This is a worse idea then when Arnold Schwarzenegger did it.
At least Arnold has a personality.
I'm stoked for this because Seagal is one of my favorites. I hope he gives all of his speeches wearing that ridiculous outfit from On Deadly Ground and talks like an old black woman from the bayou like he does in half his movies.

because actors make great politicians right
Would be interesting considering the time he killed a family's dog with a fuckin tank.
Steven Seagal and his extremely tight pants.

Because being an actor automatically bars you from being a good politician.
Oh god please no
Well, he's done actual real life law enforcement work so I guess he's kinda more qualified than Arnold was?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;43438952]Because being an actor automatically bars you from being a good politician.[/QUOTE]
yeah but he's basically going to get attention for all the wrong reasons. Being an actor doesn't affect your ability for politics, but it won't stop people who like his movies from voting for him.

he's been a police officer for decades.
Steven Seagal is Phoenix Rising
Already got the movie/pun for his campaign.

[quote=Wikipedia]Seagal is currently a Reserve Deputy Chief in the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff's Office. Seagal owns a second home in Louisiana and spends several months a year there.[18] According to the show, Seagal graduated from a police academy in Los Angeles over twenty years ago and has a certificate from Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST), an organization that accredits California police officers. However, POST officials in California and Louisiana have no record of Seagal being certified, [B]and Seagal's rank in Louisiana is ceremonial.[/B][/quote]
[QUOTE=PolarEventide;43439351][/QUOTE]
he's been actively patrolling a beat and making arrests since the 80s. I don't know what part of that you would consider ceremonial.
He's fat, white, aging, and has several recorded instances of kicking the shit out of people in domestic disputes and otherwise, and is prone to making sweeping generalizations about things he knows absolutely nothing about.
Seems kinda overqualified.
Someone worse than Jan Brewer, just fucking great

I didn't know that was possible until today.

Does anyone really want a Governor associated with Arpaio?
To think Arizona couldn't get any shittier...I hate living here
Woo, one more Arpaio supporter running for office
Woo, one more person I'm not going to vote for

Arizona is in good hands.
You scrub, he's just being aerodynamic.
If Arnie can do it fucking anyone can, I still can't believe he got elected.
Not that I'm saying he's dumb or anything, I'm just having trouble envisioning him studying politics between all the body building and acting.
Didn't Seagal get in trouble for driving an armoured vehicle through someones wall?
I guess that'll really make him...[B][I]Above the Law[/I][/B]

Yes, he was responding to an animal abuse allegation with Sheriff Joe Arpaio and ran over several chickens and a dog.
