Well, I guess he couldn’t be worse than Bill Richardson. Beta-Batman Val Kilmer is rumored to be considering a run for Governor of New Mexico in 2010! Val told the AP:

“I’m just looking for ways to be contributive. And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.”

Val hasn’t decided what to do yet. He’s still trying to figure out what the hell his above statement means. Val may have been hanging with Michael Phelps!

“It’s really day to day, “he said over tea with the AP. With that kind of burning political fire in his belly, Val will definitely make a formidable candidate.

Val, 49, has called New Mexico home for more than two decades. He’s currently registered as a Democrat and said he cast a ballot for Barack Obama from Bulgaria, where he was filming. Val wouldn’t have a conventional campaign, natch. He says “what I do for a living is listen”, so he’s been getting out and about and has been listening to people.

Good to know Val still has his hearing. This news is definitely Al Franken’s fault! But you probably shouldn’t hold your breath, New Mexico.
