Val Kilmer to run for governor?

[Shell Beau]

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) -- Holy hornet's nest, Batman! The New Mexico governor's mansion?

Fresh from the inauguration, actor Val Kilmer is pondering running for governor in 2010, when Democrat Bill Richardson's second term ends.

"I'm just looking for ways to be contributive," Kilmer told The Associated Press on Thursday. "And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run."

But there's no decision yet.

"It's really day to day," he said over tea at a local restaurant.

Kilmer, 49, grew up in Los Angeles but has called New Mexico home for more than two decades. He's currently registered as a Democrat and said he cast a ballot for Barack Obama from Bulgaria, where he was filming.

A Kilmer candidacy could throw a monkey wrench into the well-oiled Democratic machine of Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, who's already running for the job.

1. Sorry Val, the use of the word 'contributive' disqualifies you for anything but acting

I think we're all in agreeance on that.

I wish.

2. At least he is a dem.

3. Well, I'm a Dem too, but at least I'm smart enough to know I'm not qualified to run a state

So I got that goin' for me. :)

4. But he is an actor. Actors are qualified for everything.

They are fashion designers now. They have perfumes. Some even try to be musicians. Politics is the next logical step. :rofl:
