Kid Rock Eyed as Potential Senate Candidate (NOT The Onion)

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?
Or Rex Tillerson as SOS? (oh...wait...wot?)

A surprising name has been thrown out as a potential Republican contender for Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow’s Senate seat next year: Kid Rock.

The rocker’s 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.
