When I first laid eye on Jimmy McMillan last night, I thought he was a reject Shaolin master from an old Jackie Chan movie.
This is what New Yorkers had to endure for the race for NY gov.
The Atlantic Online reports the American Mustache Institute agrees: The Rent Is Too Damn High.
Jimmy McMillan, who is running for governor of New York as a candidate of The Rent Is Too Damn High Party, which he founded, has received the endorsement of the American Mustache Institute in his bid for office. (See more on McMillan here.)McMillan sports a mean Imperial style mustache--sideburns connected into a 'stache, known on the street as the "General Lee"--accentuated by an equally ferocious goatee.
His facial hair portfolio vaguely resembles that of Ambrose Burnside, for whom sideburns are named.American Mustache Institute Chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut, previously interviewed by The Atlantic, wrote to McMillan today, notifying the candidate of AMI's endorsement via e-mail:
Mr. McMillan,
This e-mail is to inform you that the American Mustache Institute will indeed endorse your candidacy for Governor of the State of New York. Indeed, as a person of Mustached American heritage, you represent all that is good and decent about America, and clearly, someone who should be leading the great state of New York.

I guess it’s good for a laugh, but it makes my home state a laughing stock. For the first time in my life, I’m not proud to be a New Yorker.
Memeorandum
