Factoid:

During the filming of Predator, the studio hired special bodyguards because of Landham.

They were not to protect him.

Love this guy:

On June 25, 2008, Landham announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Mitch McConnell on the Libertarian line.[10] The same day Landham was accused of calling for genocide against Arabs (whom Landham referred to as “camel dung shovelers,” “camel jockeys,” and “rag-heads”) for his comments on the political radio show The Weekly Filibuster.[6] Three days later, on June 28, the Kentucky Libertarians voted unanimously to withdraw Landham’s nomination, citing his comments were not in keeping with the party's platform and values.
