Vermin Supreme - US presidential candidate and troll extraordinaire

    Vermin Supreme is potentially the best troll that I have ever seen. He's running for the Democratic primary nomination in New Hampshire. The votes are being tallied at the moment. In the absence of any viable candidate bar Obama, Vermin is in a race for second place. He's currently in third place, only 40 votes behind and 40% of the votes still have to be counted.

    His solution to all the problems in the world is to give free ponies to every citizen in America, and he has a federal pony identification programme in the pipeline as well.
    He wants to bring in a law that makes brushing your teeth mandatory.
    He also wants to harness the power of zombies to create energy.

    Here's a video of him appearing at a genuine Democratic candidates forum a few days ago. His opening statement is one of the best that I think I've ever seen. It's so pun-tastic it's ridiculous.

    Despite the sheer ludicrousness of his policies he actually stands up well to the questioning from the floor and he makes a few relevant points before leaving the stage in a shower of glitter-dust.

    I think he's a performance artist so I'm sure he's had plenty of experience. It's also his third time to run in the NH primary so he's well used to it.

    He's getting a lot of exposure of it now though. There are two videos of him up that have around 400,000 views each. They were at 30,000 yesterday.

    What a legend. After watching Fox news all day I'm glad to see some journalism I can trust.

    Some of the crap the hardcore Christian Republicans come out with still sounds crazier than this guy.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Here's another video of him. He just turned up to a town hall where Rick Santorum was supposed to be speaking and walked up to the podium and started speaking. He answered the audience's questions. Then afterwards he went around with posters and megaphones disrupting multiple tv broadcasts. I love the chap haha.

    His Labia comment about Herman Cain is brilliant.
