Seriously, how fucked are we when this is even a thing?
What next? Eminem for NSA Chief? Why not just Install the entire Aerosmith band as Secretary of the Interior?

A surprising name has been thrown out as a potential Republican contender for Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenows Senate seat next year: Kid Rock.
The rockers name came up as a possible candidate at a Michigan Republican Party convention last weekend. There have been no official decisions announced as of yet.
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, once said he tended to vote Republican but qualified himself as more libertarian to Rolling Stone in 2013. But he has supported several major Republican candidates.

for republicans. His qualification? High school drop out and former drug dealer.
Look for him on the Presidential ticket in 2024.
