In thinking about how to expose modern US elections as fraudulent, some of us in the EI movement have long wondered how we could link our elections to pro wrestling. Well, it turns out we don’t have to – almost beyond credulity, all three presidential candidates themselves cheerfully expose it as such.
When a student told me that the three candidates all appeared on a pro wrestling cable broadcast, "Monday Night Raw" I thought it must have been a joke, but no! Here are Clinton, Obama, and McCain, all with their best “Steve Austin” personae talking us up and getting ready to rumble: http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/vms/raw/2008/april22-28/6927230?zone=_index. Or go to the video index for World Wrestling Entertainment. (www.wwe.com)
Some highlights: Clinton told fans to "Call me 'Hill Rod'" before she began giving a civics lesson. Even as ‘Hill-Rod,’ she managed to sound school-marmish. Obama said something brief and finished by asking, "Do you smell what Barack is cooking?"
McCain seemed especially comfortable, boasting "I’m gonna introduce Osama bin Laden to the Undertaker." He also asked us if we can smell what he’s cooking (perhaps someone can explain the significance of this concept in pro wrestling?) and expressed confidence he would emerge from "the cage match in November." He only got ideological once with us, "Americans don’t watch WWE because we're bitter, but to celebrate freedom."
