He said his name was "Basil Marceaux Dot Com" LOL!

Also, he looks drunker than Orson Welles was in that wine commercial

He says he's the republican candidate for governor. Is he really? Like the republican party actually backed that guy??

Or is he just a random drunk dude that got in by mistake and just says random stuff?

He's probably a candidate for governor who's Republican, not the Republican candidate for governor.

Hey, not all of us wonder. Some of us, sadly, know exactly why that is.

Nice move by the producers to fade to black after that speech, although I would've liked to see the anchors try and transition from that.

There's four other Republicans running, and like fourteen Independents. Truly they have a deep pool to draw from.

I find it hard to take a campaign fund from anyone because if they give me money they expect something and then they seal it with a hand shack . I think this is bribery so to keep everybody honest lets put all funds in one bucket, then divide the bucket by cities, counties and state ,then divide those buckets among who ever once want to run and nobody owes anybody.
I wish I knew how to quit you, Basil Marceaux.

Based on the campaign ads they've been airing here, I'm not willing to count Basil out just yet. Tennessee needs a candidate willing to ask the question, "WHAT IMPORTANT?"

It brings to mind this:

"Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you. Thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot." What? "Taxes they'll be lower son. The Democratic vote for me is right thing to do Philadelphia. So do."

If only it was fictional.

I haven't seen a single Basil Marceaux ad here in Knoxville. I didn't know this guy existed. But true money is on Bill Haslam. Democrats in the area are voting in the Republican primary to make sure Zach Wamp doesn't get the nomination.

Sadly, the most important pool, that being the gene pool, is still quite shallow.

As Ratty pointed out, this guy came to my attention thanks to the Colbert Report, and I'm so glad he did. Part of me thinks this is all some sort of bizarre performance art, but another part of me hopes this guy is totally sincere, as that would be hilariously awesome. Then there's that small part of me that feels bad for laughing at him, because I think he might be functionally retarded. At any rate, this thread has greatly contributed to the comedy of this whole situation, so for that, I thank you all.

I initially felt the same way. Then I listened to that Q&A with the (horrible in their own right) Opie and Anthony, and I really don't think he is.

The beginning of the clip states that earlier that day they drew from a hat to decide which primary candidate would speak on TV that night. I think maybe he got drunk assuming that the odds were against him having to speak on live TV

Didn't know who the fuck this guy was till I heard Howard Stern playing the clips Wednesday.

I would not put it past the inbreeds in this shitty state to elect this dude.

We're right there with Mississippi on, "give me my guns" and "hang'em high" shit, yall.

I hate this place.

Why do I believe that Mr Marceaux.com is for real, but Alvin Green is a nefarious plant? Is that bias on my part, or is it a reasonable assumption? I don't even know anymore
