Yes, folks, headline-maker and SNL personalityJimmy McMillan, founder of The Rent is Too Damn High Party, has hopes of nabbing the presidency - and he's running on the Republican ticket. The New York politician, former private investigator, and Occupy Wall Street participant promises to put pressure on his fellow presidential candidates come fall. Although he was registered as a Democrat before announcing his candidacy for President in 2010, McMillan switched parties so as to avoid facing Obama in the primaries. In addition to coming under fire for some of his policies, he has also been criticized for not paying for his Flatbush apartment. Maybe fellow Republican Mitt Romney could help him out? Also, you must check out his website: because even if the rent is too damn high, you can always console yourself with McMillan's very much appropriated theme song, one of his "books" (he used the quotation marks, not us), and perhaps a mini McMillan doll! Check out his promotional video posted after the New Hampshire debates last summer. Just don't go to www.mcmillan2012.com because it's now defunct! Maybe the site's maintenance was just too damn costly?
