PROFESSOR WANTS PITT AS NEW ORLEANS MAYOR

A top Louisiana scholar has launched an Internet campaign to promote BRAD PITT as the Mayor of his adopted New Orleans.

Tulane University professor Dr. Thomas Bayer feels sure the movie star would make a great elected city leader - and he has listed his 13 Reasons Brad Pitt Should Be Mayor online. He's dedicated to Pitt's public office potential.

His reasons include, "If we elect Brad Pitt mayor, Angelina Jolie would be the First Lady of New Orleans," and, "Publicity and photo opportunities will chase our Mayor, instead of the Mayor chasing publicity and photo opportunities."

Professor Bayer also points out, "We will not have to rename a street to honor his name, as Pitt Street already exists."

He hopes his efforts will prompt Pitt, who moved his family to New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, to add his name to the mayoral ballot for the April, 2010 election.

And Bayer isn't alone - top city businessman Josh Harvey has had 'Brad Pitt for Mayor' T-shirts printed.

Pitt shot The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in New Orleans and has donated money to rebuild housing in the devastated 9th Ward of the city.
