Ted Nugent for president!

Kinky Friedman (of the Texas Jewboys) ran for some office or other in Texas. And I think he may have won…

Actually, Sonny Bono was elected to the US House of Representatives for the state of California…not the president but still a fairly powerful position. Hey, since when is Dream Theater Metal?! Anyway, Blackie Lawless should be on the list.

Kinky ran for Governor of TX and unfortunately he didn’t win.

I have to agree with this list… But #10. Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) gets my vote for president anytime!
