Libertarian POTUS Candidate Gary Johnson Gets First Celeb Endorsement: Penn Jillette

Penn Jillette 2012 5 25

Remember Gary Johnson?

He's the former New Mexico Governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate who is now running as a third party candidate, specifically the Libertarian party.

To be honest, it's been tough on Gary because not a lot of people have noticed that he's, you know, running for POTUS. And, it might be because he hasn't have any celebrity endorsements ... until now.

It seem that Penn Jillette (from the Las Vegas magic duo, Penn & Teller) is quite taken with Gary. Last week, he tweeted "I love Gary Johnson. He seems pretty perfect." And, on Wednesday, Penn told Sean Hannity on Fox News, "I think Gary Johnson is pretty good."

"I believe that voting for the lesser of two evils in game theory will always leads to more evil," Penn said in explaining his reasoning for supporting Gary. "If you actually believe that Romney is a fabulous candidate, then you should vote for him, I don't. Most of the stuff I disagree with Obama on I also disagree with Romney on."

What stuff is Penn talking about? Well, it seems he's a big proponent of legalizing pot and so is Gary.

There's still no word if Penn will be making any campaign appearances for Gary, but we hope he does because it would be super-entertaining!
