While Fred Thomson has bowed out of his lackluster campaign for U.S. President, one of his former Media Guys, Darrel Ng, has decided to launch an internet campaign to boycott Chuck Norris through his new website, www.boycottchucknorris.com. Apparantly, Ng is upset over Norris' endorsement of rival Republican Mike Huckabee, accusing the former Arkansas Governor of having ideas "far out of the mainstream."
I suppose with this early exit (predicted here on The Cordani Project), Ng thinks Chuck Norris is at fault. There is internet evidence that proves Norris could have that much control over such an outcome. Seriously, however, the sour loser thing does not look good on poor Darrell, who is bucking to become the political equivalent to William Hung.
Ng compares Norris' backing of Huckabee (a man Ng seems to have some serious issues with) to the likes of Ben Afffleck and Oprah Winfrey. While it is agreed that Affleck, Winfrey and others use their considerable celebrity superficial influence to push a candidate they like, Norris is different. While he is an actor, Norris is also a respected regular contributor to World Net Daily, an internet magazine. Norris has proven his political aptitude and knowledge of the nation's issues enough to not be categorized on the same level as the Sean Penns and George Clooneys of the world.
If Ng wanted to blame someone for using celebrity to push a candidacy, he need nto look further than his own boss, Fred Thompson, who thought his "Law & Order" stardom could put him in to contention while he spoke in soundbites and offered minimal substance and no ideas. His campaign should have been euthanized after New Hampshire. That, Mr. Ng, is the truth.
