Jimmy McMillan, aka “The Rent is Too Damn High” guy, is running for mayor again. You might remember him from his memorable 2010 New York gubernatorial run, where a televised debate put him on the same plane as current governor Andrew Cuomo. He also ran for president in 2012, and even held a debate with Vermin Supreme, which we liveblogged for some reason. Now, Animal New York has created a gangsta rap-infused music video for McMillan’s 2013 campaign, sure to give him a bump in the polls. You’re welcome.

Vermin Supreme just tried to rap, and failed miserably. Jimmy McMillan is possibly rapping, but it’s more like slam poetry.

Vermin Supreme wants a form of energy that’s as damaging as fracking and as invisible as wind energy. “Whale oil!” Jimmy’s talking about getting a box in your house that would give you “all the energy you need.” Love everything about life right now.

  • $800 the amount in rent Jimmy McMillan pays each month
  • five the number of years since he’s had a rent increase source

» In his defense: Before you all jump on the new meme, keep in mind that he’s not talking about himself, but all the other people in NYC with really expensive rents. His campaign got a boost from Monday’s New York gubernatorial debate, by the way. “I got a flood of campaign contributions. PayPal, PayPal, PayPal,” he claimed.

  • 37% Andrew Cuomo’s lead over Carl Paladino in the polls source

» Sorry, they didn’t check: Sadly, we don’t know how many people are voting for “The Rent is Too Damn High” party candidate Jimmy McMillan. We wonder if he’ll siphon votes from Paladino.
