The strange, spectacular rise of Basil Marceaux, the enigmatic man who referred to himself as "BasilMarceaux.com" when not referring to himself as "an international Internet celebrity and an international superstar and a dark-star candidate" -- as he did in a recent telephone interview -- has ended.Bill Haslam, the current mayor of Knoxville, won Thursday's Republican nomination for Tennessee governor. Marceaux will fade into the annals of Internet memes, leaving everyone to speculate just what he had against gold fringe. And to eagerly await the next vessel into which we may pour our collective ironic support.
Vote for Pedro? Nay, Vote for Basil.
