On Thursday, Ross Perot finally broke his silence and announced he’d run for President. However, in the middle of his announcement, he shocked the nation by revealing his true identity:
Ross Perot: “My name is Adrian Cogiano. I am nine years old, almost ten.”
Kevin Nealon: The fact that he’s only 9 disqualifies Mr. Perot from running, but since he’s an admitted liar, it makes him a more credible candidate.
Although he’s denied being an egomaniac who’s just trying to gain power, several photos have surfaced, indicating that there may be some validity to those accusations. [ show photo of Freddy Krueger ]
