This one caught my eye (bold for emphasis):

Quote:
MIKE HUCKABEE

Big Buddy: Chuck Norris

Hollywood Connection: Ron Jeremy

Rock Star: Ted Nugent

Special Celebrity Supporter: Ric Flair (WWE)

Theme Song: "In the Midnight Hour" Huckabee on bass

Huh? The most conservative candidate's biggest (in several senses) celebrity backer is a porn star?

"Men like sex, thus boobies! Oogaba!" - dejanzie

"If ads put your sanity to the test
come on down to Rat Boy's nest!
light up a stogie, and soon you'll see
how rock can be commercial-free!

'I'd hit it!'" - HP Lovesauce

I was going to post some mildly sophmoric quip, but then realized that the San Francisco Chronicle needs to up the budget for their fact checking department.

The source appears to be this article from The Satirical Political Report. Besides the name of the source, the tip off should have been that the article was just a headline and two photos with captions. That and that it was filed under "fake news".

Quote:
BARACK OBAMA

Big Buddy: Oprah Winfrey

Hollywood Connection: David Geffen

Rock Star: Stevie Wonder

Special Celebrity Supporter: Conor Oberst

Theme Song: "Move on Up" Curtis Mayfield

Also reportedly in the Obama camp:

Ben Affleck, Ed Norton, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Will Smith, Halle Berry, James Whitmore, Ashley Scott, Zach Braff, Scarlett Johansson

Is it just me or does Barack Obama have possibly the coolest supporters ever?

You're thinking of the other piano-playing blind black guy.
