Richard Simmons for President
But we Americans are different, as I like to remind C. We're not as prolific, as I tried recently tried to explain to him who - or what - exactly Richard Simmons is.
But Richard Simmons, my friends, he is king. Never, ever understimate the ability of Richard Simmons to transcend "Sweatin' to the Oldies" and really reach into the soul of Americana with his earnestness and sincerity. My fellow Americans, you know if you heard someone making fun of him, you'd be the first to jump and defend his white-boy 'fro, shorty short-shorts, and girlish giggle.
See? There's just no way to explain the man. He just is. He embodies what an American national treasure should be - endearing and lowbrow in a circus-sideshow-freak sort of way. This man, who's been such a huge success without ever having come out of the closet, hey - Clay Aiken could learn a thing or two from him.
Yeah, yeah, so the Brits may have their Beatles, the band Queen, and Her Royal Highness The Queen. But Richard Simmons makes me damn proud to be an American!

That was great! Richard Simmons will definitely be my idol for the next 10 minutes. In fact, I think I'll use one of his DVDs to help me loose the 'winter weight.'
