Last week, the tabloids were abuzz with new Lobos Basketball coach veering away from sports and into the US Congressional race with his scheduled appearance for a Darren White fundraiser.
Then the New Mexico Independent posts a hilariously weird, and somewhat disturbing, music video starring Darren White, sporting a 1980's hairstyle that seemed to have been inspired by the '80s band, "A Flock of Seagulls".
Word has it that the White campaign's strategy was indeed inspired by the title of the group's sole MTV hit, "I Ran So Far Away... (from Bush)."
Here's some predictions for future switch-hitting New Mexican celebrities:
Lobo Football Coach Rocky Long becomes campaign manager for Brian Urlacher, who leaves Chicago to come home and run for Secretary of State. Urlacher agrees to donate part of his football salary to finally get electronic campaign report filing up and running. Campaign slogan: "You break election laws, I break you."
UNM changes plans to build housing near the UNM golf course in favor of a new, 10,000 square foot pub and grill. President David J. Schmidly moonlights as head bartender. "It's easier to meet legislators that way," he says.
Lt. Governor Diane Denish, bored waiting for the 2010 campaign season, starts calling for a legislative special session on cockfighting, domestic partnerships and tilapia farming. "Watching the Senate is much more fun than raising money," she offers.
Marty Chavez tries desperately to reinvent himself as an ethics and environmental champion (oh wait, that one's actually happening).
