This guy should stop running for the Governor of Tennessee and focus his attentions on the campaign for Governor of Everything. Or at least, Governor of Cheap Sausage and Always Wearing Fake Police Badges. (What is THAT all about?) Basil Marceaux is our generation’s Alvin Greene! FOUR MORE YEARS! (Via GotchaMedia.)

It always amuses me when overweight people share a name with food. But basil is just a seasoning, so it’s like this guy is just a weak imitation of something hilarious.
Should we be concerned for your health?
Basil? “Just” a seasoning? “Just” is a dismissive word that should harldy be allowed around the word seasoning, and never near basil. Stay away from the kitchen, please.
It’s an overrated seasoning, one that doesn’t even have the rabid fanbase of celery powder:

“Basil is delicious.”

And it’s great in cocktails, too. No freddyrumseno.
Now Jimmy Kimmel has to give equal time to Basil’s strong-polling opponent, a can of Wolf brand chili.
It concerns me that Jimmy Kimmel’s audience is super excited about everyone being legally forced to carry guns.
What about the fact that he’s wearing a badge?
He’s not a cop. Don’t let him scare you.
That also concerns me.
Guy Getting Hit By Ice Cream Truck was on Leno last night and got blind sided by one of Jay’s Duesenbergs.
Great, now when I’m getting ready in the morning I have to decide whether NOT CARRYING A GUN AROUND AT ALL TIMES is worth $10.
I don’t think I can afford a gun! I would hope that the guns would at least be provided by the government. You know, for me to use against the government. Because that makes total sense right there. I am sure that the government would give us quality guns that would not jam or shoot out a little flag that said BANG or anything like that.
Get a job you welfare-sucking, free-gun-wanting loser.
Because the government is opressive, I believe that the government should require you to carry a gun at all times to protect yourself from unfair government regulations, or you will be fined.
Basically, you need a gun that can shoot itself.
Mans, get your “gotcha” discursive-understanding blog commentating out of here
You’ll be fine. Remember that this secret gun finding agents have no power.
As long as you voted for Basil…
Found this on his website. Thought it would help:
You know, it really clears everything up nicely. I feel so silly for having been worried!
Well, Basil Marceaux already holds the prestigious position of Governor of MY HEART (my heart apparently is really into guns, I guess? And apparently wants to bear arms against my government? Yikes, my heart is a little scary.)
C’mon guys! How is selling grass-covered vacant lots to pay for [unintelligible] NOT a good idea?
Oh he’s filled with good ideas. And probably deep fried Twinkies and Tab. With the charisma of Lenny from “Of Mice and Men” and the charming good looks of a young Richard Griffiths, how can the man lose?
I’m surprised he doesn’t want to equip all of those unborn babies that he’ll be saving from abortion with tiny guns. He’ll have to wait until they develop fingers, though.
I would find this funnier if my attorney general wasn’t Ken Cuccinelli.
What’s wrong with Ken? I met that dude when he was just a representative, talked to him a little bit. He has great hair, and probably one of the best faces in Virginia politics. Dude’s gonna be governor one day.
I hope this comment is some sort of joke that I don’t get.
Yes, he probably will governor one day and yes it is all a terrible joke that isn’t funny but makes me afraid and a little sick to my stomach.
Whats makes you more sick? The fact that he could be governor or the fact that he will become governor because he has great hair and PROBABLY one of “the best faces in Virginia politics.”
I love the way Ken covered up the filthy, filthy female parts on the state crest.
POOR MANS! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – every day I thank myself for having the good sense to get out of that god-forsaken, backwards state.
I’m just waiting for some crazy-ass to pop up in the North Carolina election. If you follow the pattern, we’re next in line. And there’s already been a guy who commanded “the state militia” to kill the president. It’s just a matter of time.
“Would you put Lindsay Lohan to death if you were the governor of California?”
“….(pause)….(thinking about it)….No”
But if she killed someone, he’d have no choice. None.
you can’t argue with logic!
Candidate Marceaux doesn’t get my vote until he has AT LEAST 37 pieces of flair.

I think my feelings on this story can best be described by this animated gif of Basil Marceaux.

I have a sneaking suspicion that 1.5 % will tear Basil and his son apart.
He’s wearing a tie for the school I attend. I feel so honored.
Are you sure that is the word you are looking for?
Right? I think they spelled “horrored” wrong.
You would make a good editor, catching mistakes like that.
Between Videogum and Wonkette, I’ve seen so much of Basil Marceaux recently that I’ve started taking him seriously, which is scary and depressing. Ha ha, he’s a “serious” candidate for governor! He is one of a number of candidates for political office this year who are sincerely running on an anti-government platform–they fully do not see the irony in seeking a position in government by saying things like “government is the problem” or “all citizens should have guns to rise up against the government.” How can so many people be so oblivious?
like skynet becoming sentient and self aware
I’m confused. Is this guy the same guy as Basil Marceaux dot com? That guy was very adamant about the “dot com” part of his name, but this guy … this guy!
At last, I am breaking my “notorious” silence on Basil Marceaux…Somehow his campaign is reminding me of high school student council elections, “Hey, you guys, if you vote for me for class prez, everyone will get free Butterfingers for lunch for the rest of the year!”
I’m not idiot, I voted for the kid who threw out candy as his election speech. I knew that was the only way I’d get candy, the promises would never be fulfilled
(Alternative comment: Fuck you! I never got those Butterfingers.)
Goddamn HS student council candidates and their empty campaign promises.
Good points Bill, but I wouldn’t want every 80 lb pencil neck carrying a gun they aren’t even strong enough to lift.
I don’t know about you but I’m voting for the sausage.
TWSS
Holy crap I just realized I live in this man’s district, and I can vote for him for governor and House of Representatives. Ladies and Gentleman, life is good.
