Brad Pitt For Mayor, His Platform: Pot Legal, God Banned

There is a grass root efforts in the city of New Orleans to have Brad Pitt run for mayor.

Thursday morning on the “Today Show,” Pitt revealed to Anne Curry that he has seen the “Brad Pitt for Mayor” T-shirts but ruled out a campaign to become the chief executive of the Big Easy.

“I’m running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform,” Pitt jokingly told Curry. “I don’t have a chance.”

He’s right. In today’s political climate he’s far too conservative.

“It’s not what I do best,” Pitt said later in the show obviously referring to his many unsuccessful stints as mayor.

Pitt and his wife Angelina Jolie purchased a home in New Orleans in 2007. However to be eligible to run for mayor you need five years of residency. The mayoral primary is February 6th, 2010.

Just checking, but the people of New Orleans know the stuff Pitt does in his movies is fake? They realize he’s not actually Benjamin Button or Rusty Ryan or Lt. Aldo Raine? We only asked because it’s never a bad idea to question the intelligence of people living in a coastal city THAT”S MOSTLY BELOW SEA LEVEL.

Part of this grass roots efforts stems from Pitt’s charity “Make it Right” which aims to build 150 homes by 2010 in the lower 9th Ward. These homes are known as “Brad Pitt Houses.”

That’s fantastic but signing a check and giving away hard earned money doesn’t qualify one to be a part of the government. Then again, with what’s going on in Washington Pitt would fit right in.
