I heard a lot of rumors that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU on the internet. While I don’t think it’s true that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU, it would seem like even a rumor like that might ruin your election pretty quickly. After all, it would be pretty bad if people associated a candidate with even a purely ridiculous internet rumor like CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU.

The auto-complete will, in fact, give you “Craig James killed 5 hookers” as an option.

For the record, he did not, but it just shows you the power of Spencer Hall to start a meme.

Also for the record, there’s no need to invent ersatz wrongs done by Craig James; the SMU scandal and the Texas Tech scandal are quite enough, in my opinion.

should Craig James win a United States Senate seat, I’m officially announcing my endorsement of Bobo for President 2012.

Well, maybe. There’s an election rule that states (effectively, not verbatim) if a media outlet gives a declared candidate air (or print, I guess) time, that media outlet has to give the candidate’s opponents the same amount of time. This doesn’t apply to ads that have been bought, obviously.

So in effect, allowing Craig James to do the color commentary for 4 hours of bowl game – even if he doesn’t say a single word about politics – would open the door for his opponents to get that same 4 hours. I’m not sure if it would be worse for ABC: having to give up the revenue from 4 hours X the number of opponents of free air time or to hear the Lt. Gov of Texas doing color for the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl….
