The man who ran for governor because the "Rent is Too Damn High" claims he's being kicked out of his Manhattan apartment -- because the rent is too damn low!

Jimmy McMillan says he pays $872.96 for a rent-controlled ground-floor apartment on St. Marks Place in the East Village -- which he's had since the late-1970s, when the rent was around $275.

But the man who founded the tenants-rights party says his landlords are giving him the boot so they can pull in way more dough.

"I've been here since 1977, and they want more money!" McMillan says. "It's about 'My Rent is Too Damn Low.' "

This dude is a certified loon. That is one of the most desirable locations in the City. Time to make room for another NYU trust-fund brat!

"I've been here since 1977, and they want more money!"

This encapsulates the entitlement mentality very nicely.

I can’t remember where I saw it but he said he was running for President.

All those lefties fed up with Obama can now vote for him. He got a few thousand votes here in NY for Gov.

And, really, in NYC the rent is to damn high. It’s an honest name.

Maybe someone could run on the Obama is to damn Socialist/ Republicans need to grow a pair party line.

Jimmy’s employer should adopt the same position and tell him that his wages are being rolled back to 1977 levels. I’m sure he’d understand.

Of course, the chances that Jimmy works for a living are questionable.
