I'm changing my name to Fred Astaire.
What should I run for first in my new career as a perennial candidate for public office?

2. I can see a whole slate of candidates we can run
Fred Astaire - Governor
Ginger Rogers - Lt. Governor
Mickey Rooney - Comptroller
Shirley Temple - US Senate
Katherine Hepburn - US Senate
Spencer Tracy - Attorney General
Danny Kaye - Land Commissioner
Bing Crosby - Agriculture Commissioner

You may have an answer, carpetbagger.

5. Hey, two of your slate are still alive
If you're going to get warm bodies, let's start with George Clooney!!

6. They don't have to be dead
I'm just saying if the voters are warm for nostalgia then here they go.

Many people have asked Clooney to run before. You know his dad did run for office. He lost. George still wants to be an actor. So there's not a chance he would do it.

10. So maybe Shirley Temple for TX-28?
EVen though she grew up and became an active republican, running for Congress as a pro-Vietnam War candidate, eventually becomming ambassador to Czechoslovakia under Bush I, she would still be a more loyal democrat than the one we've got here now.

Those of you who are up for googling, look up the story of how the Czechs couldn't believe that Temple didn't have the same reverence for the genius of Frank Zappa that they had.

8. Reminds me of the debate
of who was the better dancer - Astaire or Rogers. It was determined Rogers because she did the same steps but backwards and in high heels
