Empty-G for President? Someone thinks it could happen

 In 1940, Gracie Allen, who parlayed the role of a scatterbrained housewife into a lucrative career in vaudeville, radio, movies, and, later, television, announced intentions to run for President as a 3rd party candidate under the umbrella of the Surprise Party. The surprise, of course, was that Allen wasn't really going to make a serious run, as this was just a publicity stunt for her radio show with then-husband George Burns. This was before Presidents were term-limited, and, as we know, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to a unprecedented third term.

82 years later, another radio personality is touting a candidate for president that might not be taken too seriously.

That radio personality is conspiracy addict Alex Jones, and the candidate he's stumping for is Georgia Misrepresentative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was already wealthy when she decided to run for Congress two years ago, unopposed, and only garnered 3/4 of the vote, which was still good enough for election.

We know Empty-G's penchant for saying stupid things for attention is an act, but way more extreme than the carefully crafted persona Allen developed decades prior. Goldie Hawn parlayed the "dumb blonde" stereotype into an Academy Award and reinvented herself as a serious actress. Greene? Her whole act is a turnoff because she panders to the low information base in her district, and that, according to Farron Cousins, might not translate so well at the national level in 2024.

Of course, nothing will come of anything between Jones & Greene, whose public personas suggest a combined IQ of below 50.
