Remember the ShamWow guy?

Vince from ShamWow was a candidate in tonight’s Texas primary election.  He was running for the U.S. House and …. well, he lost.  He lost big time.  Like even the crazy woman who moved down to Texas from Missouri so that she could run in a district she barely knew managed to outpoll him.  That’s how badly he lost.

I’m kind of depressed about that.  Seriously, what fun are celebrity candidates if we don’t elect them?  Really, he should have run in my district.  My district didn’t have anyone interesting running.  I ended up voting for a former Olympic fencer.  I would have voted for Vince from Shamwow.

In honor of Vince’s political dreams and as a reminder of a simpler age, here is tonight’s blast from the past!  From 2007, it’s ShamWow!

Seriously, folks, Olympic divers used it as a towel!
