A Tongue-in-Cheek Candidate: TERRY TATE for Governor

 

Lester Speight, the actor who plays in ads for Reebok International, has filed to put his Terry Tate character on the California ballot.

"Save our state — vote Terry Tate."
"Playin' hurt? Baby, that don't faze me. The only pain I got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is."
