Checks, Balances, and Atomic Leg Drops
(FORTUNE Magazine) – On Nov. 9, the Wrestler Formerly Known as Hulk Hogan announced his candidacy for President in 2000. FORTUNE's Daniel Roth got a peek at the Hogan platform: Is it Hulk Hogan? Hollywood Hogan? What do I call you? Hollywood, brother. My close friends call me Wood. It's been said the recent elections may influence the House to tone down impeachment proceedings. Should it go ahead with them? They need to get this thing solid and decide if what President Clinton did--having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, which almost every other president has done... Almost every president has had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky? No, with people other than their wives, such as Jefferson, Wash- ington, Kennedy, and down the line. Let's decide what's impeachable and what's not. If you were president, would you have done what President Clinton did with Monica Lewinsky? I've already been through that in my lifetime, so I could be a better president than Clinton. Wherever he's going, I've already been. I wouldn't get tied up in the tangled web that everyone else weaves. Human cloning: for or against? If they could clone [laughs] the perfect human being, I would like to see that. Otherwise, I'm against it. Should the Fed have helped bail out Long-Term Capital? Or does that send a message that the government insures risky bets? I think we should let nature take its course financially. Willie Nelson said it best: "We need to ride the highs and survive the lows." This is a capitalistic economy, and bottom line, brother, the guy who risks the most is the guy who rides the high wave, and sometimes if you don't hit it on the head, brother, you're going to ride the low. You've got to be ready for anything. I don't think the Fed should have stepped in. Saddam Hussein banned U.N. arms inspectors. What should we do? Put him in the ring with Hulk [sic] Hogan. I'll put an end to all that b.s. |
