Is this a scary thought?

President Christopher Walken.

According to the "official campaign website," the actor known for psychologically damaged characters in "The Deer Hunter," "The Dead Zone" and dozens of other movies going back to Woody Allen's "Annie Hall," is off and running for the White House.

According to a press release posted on the website this week, the 62-year-old New Yorker has laid out a few positions, but doesn't plan any active campaigning until he completes some acting obligations.

"Mr. Walken has greatly admired the celebrities who have entered politics and he wants to be able to give a good name and reputation to the acting community as well as the political community," his agent Toni Howard is quoted as saying. "As for going national with this news, we have not made any plans for the immediate future."

3. It's Walken. The choice between a twisted psychopath for president,

versus someone who merely plays one in the movies...

4. I haven't found any other media outlet reporting this

Not even the foreign ones. So I think it's a hoax, though I gotta admit it's an intriguing idea. If he were president I would look forward to watching every single speech and the press conferences would be mesmerizing for sure.
P.S. One benefit of googling this was I found the "Weapons of Choice" video online. :-)

5. If he were elected president he would definitely demand more cowbell

Because he's got a fever and his only cure is more cowbell!!

6. LOL. He could use that a lot:

"I have a fever.... and the cure is higher CAFE standards."

You play the Secretary of the Treasury in this film. In another life, could you see yourself getting into politics?

No. And that was really the first thing I noticed about the part. I thought it was so interesting that they would ask me to play the Secretary of the Treasury. It’s bizarre.
