Finally a candidate I can support: Tim Calhoun
“I am qualified to represent America. Because, like America, I am heavily in debt, I’m about ten percent gay, and I have a really bad gas problem.”
-Tim Calhoun (Will Forte) on SNL
I am often a bigger fan of the second- or third-level characters than I am the main ones. My favorite Simpsons character of all time is probably Dr. Nick Riviera (“See you in the operating place!”), and I also love Hans Moleman. And on Saturday Night Live, I love Tim Calhoun. He was on the other night and it was a treat.
“I propose we start a Cow College where we teach cows how to talk. I propose we start with the word ‘moo’ to build up their self confidence.”
“There are times when I’m not gay at all. But then there are other times I’m so gay it more than makes up for it.”
Of course, a big part of it is Will Forte’s halting, whispery delivery. Calhoun in ’08!
