Fresh from the inauguration — a commemorative coin still in his pocket — actor Val Kilmer is pondering the pull of public service.This has catastrophe written all over it. Don't believe me? Here's what else we can tell from the article:
Some "serious people" want him to consider running for governor, he said in an interview with The Associated Press...a Kilmer candidacy could throw a monkey wrench into the well-oiled Democratic machine of Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, who’s already running for the job.
- he hasn't voted "very much" (not since 1992 according to New Mexico records)
- he considers himself a friend of Ralph Nader and contributed to his campaign
- he thinks he'll be a good governor because he's "not a politician and he's not going to try to become one", and he's a very good listener
But the icing on the cake has to be this quote:
"I’m just looking for ways to be contributive," Kilmer said, dunking his tea bag in a big mug of hot water at a local restaurant. "And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run."Contributive. Great. Can he just throw a "you betcha" at the end of that phrase?
