Gopher did a reverse Frankin.
He is now a political talk radio guy on a
local show in DC...same station as Rush and Sean.
Whoa...Gopher was also a cum laude Harvard grad with a sense of humor:
Quote:
Born into a family of practicing Caucasians, Grandy survived a turbulent childhood in the tough Sioux City ghetto to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard University....
...At the height of his show business success Grandy abandoned the high life of Hollywood in 1986 to return to his ancestral homeland in Iowa to seek a seat in Congress. No one including members of his immediate family gave him much of a chance. Yet he prevailed in a closely contested election and went on to serve four terms in the U. S. House of Representatives where he earned a reputation as a thoughtful legislator and chick magnet.
In 1992 he challenged his state’s incumbent governor and narrowly lost a Republican primary the outcome of which was later discovered to be influenced by a little known group known as Al Qaeda of Iowa...
