I'll tell you what makes Ralph Nader great. Not his enormous brains. Not his acting skills. Not his singing ability. No, what makes Ralph Nader great is that he does what all of us wish we could do to Bob McGrath. Yes, I'm intentionally leaving things ambiguous. You just need to follow this link immediately.
Just as good are the "virtual debates"" Nader held with toy figures of Bush and Kerry in 2004.

I am a Nader supporter but he damn near lost me with this.

Why would you post a link from this blog to your own blog in order to showcase a clip somebody posted on youtube?
There's no angle, no comment, no discussion, just "ha-ha, look at this kooky clip".

...Nader sucks. The Corvair was a damned good car...

Nader's the best citizen this country his, and has a sense of humor to boot. How many times has this guy hosted SNL? Historians will wonder how we passed over him to vote for the winning fucknuts.

He did the same thing to the country, with his quixotic presidential run, the nebbish.

Corvair front tires were supposed to have something like 20 lbs of air in them to compensate for the rear weight. Well meaning gas station attendants saw the max pressure written on the sidewall of the tire and pumped 'er up, making the steering all wackety. That's why they handled squirrely.
It would be nice if we had a president who put the good of the common American citizen first. Nader's views were THAT CLOSE to being Socialist, which really freaked people out.
