August 19th, 2003 EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an actual "Q and A" session conducted via email with California Gubernatorial candidate, Georgy Russell. It is not just another of our fabricated comedy interviews. Learn all about Georgy at GeorgyForGov.com For those of you who don't live in California, feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Here's a topic: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was neither extraordinary nor gentle. Discuss. Wouldn't it be funny if Arnold Schwarzenegger was the next Governor of California? Sure it would! The Simpsons would probably get a great episode out of it, not to mention the slew of Saturday Night Live skits, and night after night of tired Jay Leno monologues. But when all the comedy value has worn off, one morning California would wake up and say, "Holy crap! Kindergarten Cop is our Governor!" And suddenly it won't be that funny anymore. If you haven't yet managed to pick her name out of the phonebook-sized list of gubernatorial candidates, misinformer.com would like to introduce you to Ms. Georgy Russell. Russell is a progressive thinker, a proud Californian, and so much more than just "thong girl." misinformer.com interviews: Georgy Russell The Next Governor of California By Marcus Georgy at a Glance - Believes in a "Clean Election Act," allowing citizens who aren't career politicians the chance to run for public office. - Proponent of solar power, and other long term, clean energy solutions. - Opposed to the Death Penalty. - Plans to balance the budget with spending cuts and tax increases on the top tax bracket. - Seeks to establish Universal Health Care. - Supports gay marriage and increased fairness in "domestic partner" benefits. - In favor of legalizing marijuana. - Intends to bring economic prosperity back to California through fiscal discipline. OMG! Georgy sellz teh THONGS!1!!!!11!! LOL!... How do you feel about having 98% of the media reduce your entire campaign to one stupid fund-raising item that you clicked on at CafePress? Yeah, I can't believe it. I mean thongs are now toe to toe with white T's in the top seller competition. There really is soooo much more on my website, one wonders if the media is in bed with thong producers. I'll interview for hours with TV and print journalists, talk about the accounting horrors in the budget, or the number of innocent people freed from death row, and the next day all I get is one five second clip or a single line of print about the thong! But whatever. If it brings people to the website, or gets me an interview with a respectable journalist, it's fine with me. I think people are intelligent enough to figure out what's going on when they get to the site and discover it's not just a picture of Georgy and a thong. I just saw Terminator 3, and it was awesome! Why do you think you'd make a better Governor than Arnold? Arnold has demonstrated neither Brains, Beauty nor Leadership. I intended to let the people decide who makes a better governor, and that is why I challenged Arnold to an intellectual debate on "Good Morning LA." He hasn't responded to the invitation. How can a man afraid of Georgy expect to gain the respect of the Legislature if elected to office?! Do you feel that you're not being taken seriously as a candidate because you're an attractive young woman and not a crusty old white guy? In some instances I do. I recently had someone tell me that a crusty old white guy could sell thongs and simultaneously be taken seriously, but not an attractive young woman. Fortunately, some Californians are still able to think outside the box, and envision a MODERN politician who looks a lot less like Gray and a lot more like Georgy. Your web site says that you are an "avid dancer." What kind of dancer are you, and are you a better dancer than Arianna Huffington? Ballet and modern, primarily, but I've taken some hip hop, jazz and tap. I'm not sure how I compare to Arianna; if she's up for it, we can "let the people decide." As just one person, how do you think you could achieve your noble goal of wrangling the government out of the hands of big business' well-paid corporate shills? If there's one thing I learned in elementary school, it's "Just Say No." As Governor, I won't sell out to big money. In doing so, I think we'll see the legislature play follow the leader, if for no other reason than to keep from looking like yesterday's politicians. Your blog seems to be alternately written by an innovative intellectual with firm stances on all the key issues, and a giggly high school sophomore. Do you have a split personality? No. What I do have is personality. But wow, you gathered all of that from my blog?! Not a bad assessment. Hey there, Georgy girl, why do all the boys just pass you by? Could it be you just don't try or is it the clothes you wear? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, don't they know who I am!?!? Maybe they'll notice when I get the motorcade. At least then they won't be able to pass me. Why should I vote for Georgy Russell? Guts before glory. It's the right thing to do. All content © 1999-2007 misinformer.com.   Can't win 'em all.
