It is Hofficial

HOLLYWOOD -- David Hasselhoff endorsed Mr. Shife for president on Wednesday, saying the dumb, white guy has the "character, courage and perseverance" to lead the country.

Mr. Shife thanked The Hoff for his support and all the work he has done for getting chest hair the recognition it rightly deserves.

"I appreciate his endorsement, and I appreciate his service to our country," said Mr. Shife, adding that he wanted "Baywatch" reruns at his side as much as possible on the campaign trail.

"Whatever he wants me to do, I want him to win," The Hoff said, who was challenged by inner thigh chafing during his "Knight Rider" days. But he said in 2008 those irritations from wearing nut-hugging pants are no longer a problem.

"It's not about me or my things. Don't hassle The Hoff," The Hoff said.

Addressing the calls for change in the presidential campaign, The Hoff said Mr. Shife would be true to one of his favorite countries, Germany.

"The Germans love The Hoff, and Mr. Shife is not gonna change policies when it comes to spreading the Hoff love in Deutschland," The Hoff said of the blogger from Idaho.

Protecting the American beaches with beautiful, top-heavy actors was the No. 1 job of a president and Mr. Shife understood that, The Hoff said.

"He's gonna be a president who will bring the same determination I brought when I put on those red swim trunks and glistened," The Hoff said.

Mr. Shife needed a lot of delegates to secure the nomination and had zero after Tuesday's voting, according to CNN estimates. And with The Hoff's endorsement, according to CNN estimates Mr. Shife still has zero delegates.

Mr. Shife said with the nomination about as realistic as his dreams of saying "El precio es erróneo, Roberto," on El Salvador's popular version of The Price is Right, he would begin exploring the possible ramifications of wearing a Wham t-shirt to a Hells Angels convention.
