I think from "Predator"

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A former porn actor wants to be the next governor of Kentucky.
Sonny Landham said he's tired of what Democrats are doing to the state, so he's decided to run for governor as a Republican, NewsChannel 32's state Capitol reporter Chris Gilligan reported.
In the early 1970's, Landham acted in nine adult movies including "Naked Came The Stranger."
"I never hid it," Landham said. "If you've seen my movies, you've seen the bad times."
He is embarrassed about his acting start, but said it will only help him in the long run, Gilligan reported.
"If I had it to do over again and know what I know now, I'd say, 'no,'" Landham said.
He also starred in mainstream hits like "Predator" and "48 Hours," Gilligan reported.
Landham said his acting, directing and producing career is the perfect training for running the state.
"My business background comes from making low-budget movies, so therefore, I know how to stretch a dollar," Landham said.
Landham wants to cut taxes, improve schools and give fathers a better say in custody battles.
"This state has been raped, robbed and plundered by the Democrats, who are really no better than the communists," Landham said.
Landham is suing the federal government for $300,000 for false imprisonment. He spent 31 months in prison on assault charges that were later dropped, Gilligan reported.
Landham, who lives in Ashland, said his pastor and church have forgiven him. He hopes voters will too.
"I will be your next governor of Kentucky," Landham said. "I am not the perfect candidate, but I will be the best governor you've ever had."
Landham is the sixth Republican to enter the governor's race, Newschannel 32 reported.
Its too bad that more republicans don't talk like this guy. I wish him luck.
We had to put up with the MASTER of all that is perverted and slimey, willie the pervert klinton, for eight discusting sicking long years.
After klinton, everything else is on the plus side.
I like what he says. Does he have a chance?
I believe that there was a story in the bible where the people in a village discovered that a married woman committed adultery. The men in the town were going to stone her until Jesus walked by and said, "Those who have not commited one sin may stone this woman." So not one man picked up a rock, and she was forgiven.
The moral of this story is that no one is perfect, and it is never too late to redeem ourselves.
Sonny's life was a fairytail until his wife developed serious mental problems, and refused any treatment. During divorce proceedings in 1998, Sonny's wife Belita ran to a women's abuse center, due to her fear of losing money and custody of their daughter, Priscilla. Even though Sonny had never struck his wife or children (Rachel Landham is a step-daughter) [the foregoing statement was made by Belita and Rachel], the fascist women's abuse groups of Kentucky and the federal government through judicial terrorism framed Sonny, and he did thirty-one (31) months in federal prison, before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Acquitted Sonny and ordered his immediate release from federal prison saying " Landham committed no crime…..This case should never have been brought to trial." Sonny now lives in Ashland, Kentucky, where he is fighting many legal battles to get back his children, his reputation, and compensation for the agonizing hell, that he was put through.
Sure. Every new politician is helped by as much exposure as he can get!
Are current ones okay?
Yes, but must you run a "Ex-Porn Star Running For Kentucky Governor" headline?!
The dude was scary in "48 hours", I say leave him be...MUD
