The vote is right

This resolutely nonpolitical blog will endorse no candidate for anything. But some other Internet wags aren't so scrupulous. They've launched Operation Draft Drew 2012. The drafters (supposedly) want Mr. Carey, the newly svelte game show host, to oppose incumbent Sherrod Brown in the 2012 Ohio Senate race.

I'm not holding my breath on this one. Drew has made some vaguely right-libertarian political noises in the past. But a real live run against a real live politician? Yes, the Democrats will be hard-pressed to defend all their Senate seats in 2012. But Carey vs. Brown seems like a stretch beyond even a perfect bid on a showcase.

Of course, who woulda thunk that Al Franken would earn a desk in the august Senate chamber? Drew would be funnier than him.

UPDATE: This has absolutely nothing to do with Drew Carey, but my antiquarian self can't resist...

We've got more goodies from YouTube. Three complete What's My Line episodes were recently posted: 2/14/54, 2/19/56, and 5/6/56. And a cute segment of I've Got a Secret from the 11/11/53 episode about a date with Marilyn Monroe also recently appeared on the site. Secret was still a pretty buttoned-down panel show at this point, in just its second season. Garry Moore even explained the rules at length...and they followed the rules!
