Real Clown Running For Mayor Of City
A real clown is running for mayor of the city of Alameda in California, and his sister says even she won't vote for him. ![]()
The man, Kenneth Kahn, is a professional joker known as "Kenny the Clown". He admits he's running a long-shot campaign for top spot since he has not previously run for an elected position and has never sat on a public board.
"People ask me, 'Do we really want to elect a clown for mayor of the city?'", he says. "I say, 'That's an excellent question.'"
Kahn's mother, says her son doesn't have a chance, and his sister, Sylvia Kahn, says her brother's candidacy is a "mockery of our system".
"I don't think it makes any sense, because, to me, running for mayor is not where you start as far as community involvement goes", she said.
