Greatest speech in the history of minor political office

This dude must have a top hat of a cocaine in his system. Repeat after me, man- it’s county treasurer, not Notre Dame head coach.

  1. Dude says:

    Did he hold up thirteen fingers at 0:36?!?

    I kept waiting for him to “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!”

    “I am from the VILLAGE OF MINERVA!!!”

  2. P1 Mark says:

    I wish A&M had a head football coach with that much enthusiasm.

    Monkey pumpkin.

  3. Good Point says:

    Gordon, you could learn a few things from this guy’s intensity.

  4. Seems as though he learned his speaking prowess from Matt Foley, motivational speaker.

  5. Paul Underwood says:

    Mr. Davison lives in a van by the river with the rotting corpse of Chris Farley propped up in the drivers seat.

  6. George's Coin Purse says:

    took his speech coaching from dwight

  7. Rodney says:

    And remember, on Nov. 10, excuse me as I check my notes I see its actually Nov. 2010, vote for me Matt Foley for Motivational Speaker, so the democrats don’t win and so I don’t have to LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER.

  8. Andy says:

    And in closing, let me just say “Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and St. George!”

  9. John says:

    Here he is on Twitter (sort of ) – http://twitter.com/fakephildavison

  10. Angry Bob says:

    I see a new ticket segment in the near future. Mushmouth versus Motivational Speaker-person

  11. Rotten Jub Ass says:

    That wasn’t the question..

  12. morequalthanothers says:

    I used to live in Stark County (Canton). First, I never the treasury was a mess and I never knew that you needed charades to describe how something breaks, a weapon, or a how a tool works. Was that for the hearing impaired?

  13. Bushwood says:

    The only thing missing to make this a perfect Monty Python skit is him diving head first thru the glass window behind the podium (option A) or a giant Alligator coming thru the glass and bites him in half (option B)

  14. jomama says:

    The Republican voters of STARK COUNTY OHIO ARE ALL OLD AND APPRECIATE MR. DAVISON SPEAKING UP SO THAT THEY CAN HEAR HIM. WHO SAID THAT? THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Gordon hates Mr. Davison’s Freedom and that of all the Republican voters of STARK COUNTY OHIO. Also, the county seat of STARK COUNTY OHIO is CANTON, home of the NFL HALL OF FAME. O and their deputy treasurer went to jail for embezzling $3 MILLION DOLLARS. But nooooo, Gordon doesn’t think they need a take charge candidate like MR. DAVISON. Gordo is a TAX and SPEND kind of shock jock. NO FUNERAL *GS*.

  15. The Ghost of Rowdy says:

    Why are you yelling? You’re a foot from me.

    • John Fuchs says:

      OK but do you have any experience using bread to soak up motor oil? (I have a loaf of rye bread if that makes a difference).

  16. Mr. Bater says:

    At 5:01, he states that he’s “cuming”. Now I understand the demeanor, the excitement, the sweat and the big wet spot on his pants. Makes sense to me anyway!

  17. Jub Jub says:

    Hey Gordon,

    Totally off the subject here but I just watched the unbelievable awkward interview you did with Kristen Bell. Did she really put her gum on the arm of her chair and stick it back in her mouth after the interview? That is just nasty. Couldn’t you spring for a new stick afterwards?

  18. micah says:

    completely uncomfortable. I would have loved to be in the room. I wouldn’t be able to hold my laughter in…..classic.

  19. the anarchist response says:

    DO YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL….what the Rock…is cookin?

  20. Dustin says:

    The guy actually sounds a lot like Bill Murray. If you close your eyes you can pretend it’s a very funny SNL bit.

  21. SlapNoodle says:

    …And the best part is: The nomination went to North Canton Finance Director Alex Zumbar instead….feel the burn

    Slap Noodle

  22. Tim says:

    …and a Masters Degree in Communication!!!

  23. Holden Caufield says:

    I wonder if the most interesting man in the world rode this bike?

  24. Red 5 Standing By says:

    I thought he was about to say…..
    “Playoffs?!? Don’t talk about Playoffs. Are you kidding me?!”

  25. Mike MR McDermott says:

    I would like to offer a little constructive criticizime for his next speech….a little less cocaine and practice your lines before the speech.

  26. GrimeTime says:

    And I live in van! Down by the river!!!!

  28. John Fuchs says:

    Ahhhem…I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but does anyone have experience with using stale bread to soak up motor oil? Also curious if the bread type matters (I currently have a loaf of rye bread if that helps).

  29. Bloody Pants says:

    Think they wanted to start the 60 Minutes plug 2 seconds sooner? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDFp3e2s-mM

  30. TravelGirl says:

    My hero.

  31. Kyle says:

    I wish this guy could run for treasurer in my state. He’s badass! If only my supervisors could be like this at my job, work would be a lot more kick ass!

  32. Wade says:

    “Drastic times require drastic measures!”

    Does that mean he is campaigning as the drastic-measures solution? Basically calling himself the political equivalent of a hail mary?

    Seems to be a contrarian use of his Masters in COMMUNICATION.

  33. Sonny says:

    This hurt my soul. If the speech is this important to you, run through it a few times and see if it feels awkward or embarrassing
