Today In "Watch This": Todd Stroger's Toughest Opponent

Sure, we've talked to Ald. Preckwinkle. And there are several other options of opponents the Toddler will have to face in his campaign to keep his position for Cook County Board President. And while we don't make a habit of officially endorsing political candidates here (save the Leftcagoist comments) we're finding it hard not to root for YouTube user icephoenix23, especially after watching this video declaring his candidacy. Watch the whole thing. Trust us.

Chicagoist, where do I send the bill for my diet coke soaked computer?

Really, just turn off youtube now, there will be nothing better than that.

Just glad he decided to declare his candidacy during no pants half hour, otherwise that video would have just been like any other declaration.

Wow, just wow. And why couldn't he just wear regular shorts.

Booya!!

Fuck president of Cook COunty, I say icephoenix23 for mayor!

I will be going door to door campaiging for Mr. Phoenix. While wearing skates. And slightly snug shorts.


It's too bad they repossesedd all of his furniture, though.

Reaffirming the theory that if one works online, the benefits include never wearing pants.

can I just write in a vote for his shorts?

Thanks for all the cool comments.

So, what's your platform? Where do you stand on county taxes? Trimming the budget? The Olympics? Inline skates vs. old school four-wheelers?

The last 30 seconds of that video made my life.
