Chris Young is a perennial mayoral candidate in Providence, Rhode Island. As you can see in the video above, he knows that the most important part of politics is pulling out a music recording and singing along to the psalm you wrote about Jesus. DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING, WONKETEERS? Previously Young was kicked out of a debate holding a statue of the Virgin Mary, and another time he got angry and flipped over a debate table. Last night, though, he was on his “best behavior.” He proposed to his GIRLFRIEND as his closing statement, though that may have been just been a cynical ploy to get the audience to go “awwwwwwww.”
That proposal may have been a stunt, though. The Projo has been describing Russo as Young’s fiancée for more than a month.
Not only that, but Young was using the conditional-wedding gag as far back as last February, as shown in this interview with The Brown Daily Herald
Also, what is the deal with his weird neck hair? That is a cheap ploy to win the votes of weird-neck-hair admirers. [WPRI]

Chris Griffin?
He’s embarrassed by his bald neck. That is a comb-back-around.
Nice dork knob, dude.
It’s no “When the Eagle Soars”, that’s for sure. If I lived in Providence, I’d rather have the jailed Mafia guy back.
The end was really odd, as he begged the anchor to be invited to come back on the show and she seemed to try and hide how creeped out she was.
Does he campaign in a van…DOWN BY THE RIVER?!
Seems like a chill bro.
Man, Ryan Seacrest didn’t seem to like him at all. What was Simon Cowell’s answer? Is Mayor-elect Young going to Hollywood?
[re=645636]Extemporanus[/re]: Hahahahaha… damn!! You beat me to it.
Hell, I stopped at the intro to the song — when he’s rockin’ the slicked hair and neck bun, hitting play and announcing he’d like to sing is warning enough. If the Providence cops weren’t at his house within the hour rooting through his crawlspace, they’re not doing their job.
Penn Jillette?
“Kara and I have made it public that we don’t live in sin, that we don’t have sexual relationships,” Young said.
The neck pouch must be his backed-up semen storage.
Girlfriend? Yeah, right.
Weird-neck-hair admirers is probably listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest demographic.

Yoo hoo, Chris! The camera’s over here! o/
[re=645652]ph7[/re]: Oh, sweet fuck, that is the most disgusting thing I have heard in a long, long time. I bow before you, humbly.
Mayor of Quahog?
Someone, somewhere, (probably his mom) has been telling the poor guy he can really sing and his hair looks great. And the rest of us suffer for all those lies.
Made it to 1:12
Sometimes I think of Rhode Island as just a miniature version of Alaska.
You mean “perennial” as in running for re-election every time, right? Because clearly this is a mayoral-quality individual and there’s NO WAY the fine citizens of Providence could have NOT voted this gentleman into office yet. No way.
Wow, the wingnuttery has been hard and fierce today.
[re=645633]That Evening Sun[/re]: Watch it, tough guy.
World renowned bloated Buddhist action flick icon Steven Seagal would so totally “Haaaiii-YA!” yer ass if he ever heard you talkin’ shit like that about dudes who rock the ponyscrote.
And you can take that to the bank!
[re=645644]El Pinche[/re]: Sorry — if I’d known what you had in mind, I would’ve gone with a “Coffee Talk” reference instead.
[re=645652]ph7[/re]: Chris Young is literally a cuttlefish:
“Mating cuttlefish align their bodies head to head so the male can transfer a sealed package of sperm into a pouch beneath the female’s mouth.”
Look out, Lizard People — the Cuttle People are cumming!
OMG I heard this guy this morning on T&R. Then they had Basil Marceaux call in live to talk about how he will mandate everyone in TN to carry a gun. Good radio.
“We’ll see what we can do about that…”
He got the same response when he proposed.
I, for one, totally believe him when he says he and his girlfriend have a non-sexual relationship because … ewww. I don’t believe his “girlfriend” is a living breathing human being who spends time with him voluntarily. This guy has stalker vibes oozing out of his massive, sweaty pores.
[re=645650]Sharkey[/re]: Chris Farley, for sure.
I call shenanigans. He sang all about screwing his girlfriend in his hit song Paradise By The Dashboard Light…
I GOTTA KNOW RIGHT NOW!!!
And be a siiiimple, kind of man
Young/Greene 2012?
One of the main goals for the 1789 constitution was to control crooked businessmen in “Rogue” Island.
Rhode Island is not another Alaska. It is what would happen if Maine and New Jersey had a baby. It’s two-thirds Catholic. In RI, even the Methodists are Catholic. And even the WASPs (“Chris Young”?) are Italian. But hey, in most other states, someone as cloddish and clueless as Chris would be a Republican, or a RonPaulista, or a ‘Bagger. I love me some Rhode Island. It is crammed full of Italian-, Portuguese- and French-Canadian-Americans, really blue collar, disproportionately elderly, and the home to so many ugly people that the way to find someone attractive is to look for out-of-state plates. But that bunch of weirdos votes Democratic like nobody’s business. God love them.
Alaska? Get the fuck outa hee-yah.
[re=645789]whiteyrighty[/re]: Amen. These are the people elected Buddy Cianci. Actually, I think he’d be better than half the crap out there right now.
Ah, flipping over the table is a time honoured debate tactic. Also handy when losing at ‘Risk’ when you are 10 years old.
[re=645828]tootsieroll[/re]: [re=645789]whiteyrighty[/re]: Rhode Island is unique all right. The current Mayor of Providence is openly gay and no one bats an eye. The State legislature is overwhelmingly democratic and the Speaker of the House is also openly gay. The Governor is a homophobic Catholic douchebag. And Buddy Cianci is still a hero of many, even though he no longer wears his crappy toupee. I have to say, though, this Chris guy is kinda creepy even by Rhode Island standards. I wish the camera had panned to the interviewer while he was “singing”. I’ll bet the look on her face was priceless!
Don’t Sing If You Can’t Sing.
[re=645719]BadKitty[/re]: No, I think his fiancee is a human being; she just lives in Canada, you wouldn’t know her.
Is that the male version of Palin’s Bumpit?
[re=645828]tootsieroll[/re]: I’ll give Buddy this much: for all his embezzling and torturing his wife’s lover with a burning log while the cops looked on, I think he cared about Providence, in an extremely corrupt way. His marinara sauce was pretty “meh”, though.
Rhode Islanders are alright with me; my ex-fiance is from West Warwick and was a genius in the rack; my cousin married a guy from Pawtucket and he’s pretty cool. But they call their drinking fountains “bubblers.” WTF?
Bet he’d do a killer “Pants On The Ground”!
[re=645653]BarackMyWorld[/re]: If you’ve never seen a female version of John Denver On Ludes here, you’re obviously not a Walmart shopper.
Is a conditional-wedding gag anything like a ball gag?
Hella Pitchy Dawg. You gotta watch the whole video because it is a SNL skit but FOR REALZZZZZZZZZZZ!
This is what you would get if you locked one of those Palin spawn (mother/daughter whichevers breeding faster) in a closet for 18 years with a Bible, an autoharp and a bucket full of Adderal. Let the good times roll!
“He proposed to his GIRLFRIEND”
Do his boyfriends know?
