David Hasselhoff for prez in 2016

Sean Daly just sent me this via interoffice mail. And no, thankfully this cover tune didn't really rock the charts back in the day.

TOP 5 CHARTING HASSELHOFF SINGLES:

5. IS EVERYBODY HAPPY (1989): "Forget your worries and any sorrow. We're gonna dance like there is no-no tomorrow!" [Video]

4. OUR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER (1989): "Doesn't it seem there's a spell falling over us tonight?" [Video]

3. CRAZY FOR YOU (1990): "I will write 'I love you' in the sand. We will wander hand in hand." [Video]

2. DO THE LIMBO DANCE (1991): "We can limbo on the sand to a steel drum band." [Video]

1. LOOKING FOR FREEDOM (1989): "When you realize the freedom money buys, you'll come running home some day." [Video]

The headline made me bust out laughing - didn't even read the article. HE would be perfect! He could have Bill Clinton as VP. They could eat cheesburgers together!

Pamela Anderson for Secretary of Bodaciousness?
KITT for Secretary of Transportation?
I'm in!!!!
But Cabinet Members have to be hot and wear a red lifeguard bathing suit.

The Hoff must be chafing from the leather pants. He doesn't move from that one spot or stance.

The hair? I think we just found Sean Daly's inspiration for his own 'do.

Roy, UK

A good choice, especially given his ability to sing in German (check out 'Du' on YouTube). He was gathering crowds of hundreds of thousands in Berlin decades before Obama!

Complaint Department Manager

The Hoff has ties to special intrests: Liquor stores. Being such a huge hit in Europe, I question his patriotism.
