Presidential Geek Survey Diary – Day 44
Patrick Leahy isn’t a presidential candidate, but I heard on The Rachel Maddow Show that the Vermont senator loves comic books and has gotten himself a small speaking role in The Dark Knight, which I think is much more impressive than landing the cover of GQ.
But, wait. There’s more.
Leahy was also an extra in Batman and Robin and did a voice for Batman: The Animated Series.
Senator Leahy loves Batman and isn’t afraid to show it.
Excuse me, Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Would it just kill your reputation to follow Senator Leahy’s example and let your Geek show a little bit?
Are you afraid you won’t be able to hang with the cool kids if you do?
Are you afraid GQ won’t come calling?
So guys and gal, take a break from bickering over Barack Obama’s latest gaffe, Elizabeth Edwards’ latest outburst and Rudy Giuliani’s latest 9/11 exploitation. Do something that will help your image as a real person rather than a pre-packaged presidential product. Respond to the Pink Raygun Geek Survey.
I bet Senator Leahy would do it.
Score

Maybe the PGS should be sent to Senator Leahy
Sen. Leahy also wrote the introduction to a Green Arrow trade. I know this at the expense of several years’ worth of meaningful human contact. I agree, send him the survey.
