He's the tater-nator of 2010.

Newly crowned champion couch potato Jorge Cruz creamed his competition by sitting - and noshing - for 48 hours straight at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.

"You become one with the couch," said Cruz, 26, of Washington Heights.

Cruz mashed the previous record by an amazing 19 hours to win the third annual veg-out contest.

It was a no-brainer for the sedentary Cruz to enter the sofa smackdown.

The next paragraph gives his motivation, and it (strangely for the DUmp lurkers) says nothing about politics.

With only hourly stretch breaks and bathroom visits spaced eight hours apart, the other contestants fell by the wayside one after another.

8 hours between bathroom breaks?  I'd have to not drink or eat much during the other time.
