…Or You Could Just Not Give Ralph Nader Money

Ralph Nader spent 1000 man-hours coming up with this fundraising plea: “I’ve had a lot of hummus. Hummus is nutritious. And delicious. It makes you stronger and healthier. So, Bloomberg’s report on the Lebanese claim to hummus got me to thinking about an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics. If you donate to Nader/Gonazlez by midnight tonight an amount that has the number three in it (three being the number of lemons in my mom’s hummus recipe), we’ll e-mail to you Rose Nader’s hummus recipe tomorrow.” Eh, sorry, we don’t have e-mail.

  1. How much for Bill O’Reilly’s falafel recipe?

  2. Hamster says at 3:40 pm, October 9th, 2008

    I like hummers too, Ralph.

  3. El Bombastico says at 3:41 pm, October 9th, 2008

    “I’ve had a lot of hummus. I know hummus. I worked with hummus. And babaganoush… you are NO hummus.”

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:41 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Nader’s been eating that hummus for years, and look how great he looks.

  5. Hamster says at 3:41 pm, October 9th, 2008

    What about McCain’s recipe for Cornpone?

  6. McCainsThirdNipple says at 3:42 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Lamers is a REAL bus line? Well, I just learned something new today.

  7. echoroc says at 3:44 pm, October 9th, 2008

    WTF? x10. I voted for him twice, though. What can I say? I like me some hummus.

  8. freakishlystrong says at 3:45 pm, October 9th, 2008

    What the fuck?!!

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 3:46 pm, October 9th, 2008

    You need a recipe to mix chickpeas, garlic and lemon juice?! Geeze — send me three bucks and I’ll give you a fabulous recipe for grilled cheese sandwiches — passed on to me by a mysterious Indian shaman.

  10. McCainsThirdNipple: When I was in New Orleans this summer, I saw tour buses from a company called — seriously — Hotard.

  11. Dr. Zoidberg says at 3:47 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Wait…what?

  12. dannygutters says at 3:48 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Actually, that’s a freaking good hummus recipie. It’s in rose nader’s out of print cook book called It Happened in the Kitchen. It’s a pretty good book if you like ground lamb or being lectured to.

  13. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:48 pm, October 9th, 2008

    …if there is any justice in this world; the international market for hummus has just defaulted and crashed!

  14. ManchuCandidate says at 3:48 pm, October 9th, 2008

    This campaign is sponsored by the number 3 and the letters F and U.

  15. Serolf Divad says at 3:48 pm, October 9th, 2008

    I didn’t realize you could actually make hummus… or that you’d want to for that matter.

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:49 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Vigilante: your thoughts?

  17. Texan Bulldoggette says at 3:51 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Hummus originated in the Middle East. I didn’t know Ralph & Mother Nader were also Islamic terrorists.

  18. longjohnson says at 3:51 pm, October 9th, 2008

    You hummus!

  19. mookworthjwilson says at 3:52 pm, October 9th, 2008

    $.03 to Ralph…a good hummus recipe to me…

  20. Vewol Mevemont says at 3:57 pm, October 9th, 2008

    I have something for Ralph that’s kind of like hummus but a darker shade of brown.

  21. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:58 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Is the hummus flavored with parrot, by any chance?

    http://wonkette.com/402815/ralph-nader-talks-sadly-to-bird-contemplates-wearing-bear-suit

    I like me some parrot-flavored hummus.

  22. ProfessorJukes says at 3:59 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Hummus is friends with terrorists.

  23. Serolf Divad says at 4:02 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Here’s your dilemme:

    Superduperawesome hummus recipe that’ll get you laid with that hottie canvasser from the Green Party when you tell her you made it yourself BUT John McCain wins the presidency.

    vs.

    Supermarket hummus that’ll score you points for “trying” even though it’ll take a few more dates to get to second base even BUT Obama wins the presidency.

    It’s your choice.

  24. CrabtreesBludgeon says at 4:03 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Wait - this is REAL? This did not come from the twisted minds of our beloved Wonkette overlords?! I think my brain just sploded (it kinda looks like Hummus).

  25. Doglessliberal says at 4:04 pm, October 9th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: that is really the only reaction, yes

  26. … an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics …

    Nader, nader … Oh, you mean the hummus guy?

  27. lawrenceofthedesert says at 4:12 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Shameless pandering to the garbanzo lobby.

  28. Doglessliberal says at 4:13 pm, October 9th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: and tahini, don’t forget the tahini!

  29. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:17 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Betcha vigilante is out buying pita chips RIGHT NOW!!!

  30. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:19 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Bill-o’s falafel with Nader’s hummus? That’s a guaranteed belly-ache right there.

  31. Thanks, thanks, Ralph Nader, for making us laugh at squashed garbanzo beans yet again.

  32. JoeFannyPack says at 4:22 pm, October 9th, 2008

    As I always suspected, Nader is 1/222nd Satan.

  33. OzoneTom says at 4:23 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Blend
    * 1 can garbanzo beans/chickepeas
    * 1/4 cup olive oil
    * 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    * 1 teaspoon cumin

    Send me money.

    Or if you like it greek-style (yeah, I’m lookin’ at YOU): http://greekfood.about.com/od/appetizerssalads/r/hummustahini.htm

  34. OuterBoroughPrincess says at 4:24 pm, October 9th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: To be fair, he is older than Methuselah, a.k.a., John Sidney Walnuts! McCain MCMXXXVI.

  35. Holy crap, I thought that was some crazy thing you guys made up. I just came here to see how much more crack Jim had been smoking, but that’s the actual text from the Nader thing.

  36. freakishlystrong: With enough light and time, most any third-party candidate is exposed as a nutbar.

  37. NoWireHangers says at 4:54 pm, October 9th, 2008

    I might have donated 3 cents if they mailed the hummus to me.

  38. jagorev says at 4:55 pm, October 9th, 2008

    I would kill for some hummus right now. I’m going to stop by the Israeli place on my way home.

    El Bombastico: Perfect.

  39. I tried to donate .03… but the minimum donation is $1. Oh well, back to store bought hummus.

  40. Thanks, Ralph, now I’ve got a craving for hummus. Tell you what, though. I’ll stake my hummus against your mother’s, and the winner gets all your campaign money. The loser, of course, will get the hummus.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:51 pm, October 9th, 2008

    sezme: Between the money and hummus, you might want to go with winner takes the hummus. Natard has not a dime to his wittle name.

  42. dannygutters: If you repost the recipe here, none of us have to donate, and all of us get hummus! Everyone wins!

  43. Weeping Jesus says at 9:50 pm, October 9th, 2008

    Is Nader’s partner really named “Gonazlez”? That’s pronounced: “Gone assless”, you know. Just guessing that Nader has done just that…just sayin’… not the most handsome dude in the world and all that, ya know?

  44. Wait, Ralph Nader’s mom is still alive?

  45. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:49 am, October 10th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: YOU FORGOT TAHINI! (and Poland)

    Damn, I love me some hummus, but why would anyone want to go to the effort of making it themselves when the shit they sell at Costco is pennies a ton. That stuff with the blue and white lid, whateverthehell its called? “Mesa” or somesuch.

    Freaking addicting. And dirt cheap!

    I spread that stuff on Ritz crackers, wheat toast, nutter butter’s, my wife’s breasts; everything, man. Absolutley dee-lish.

  46. You know most of you people on this site deserve what our government is doling out to you.
    Nader is brilliant, and has been right for a very long time. He deserves respect, not your idiotic blathering. GROW UP, or maybe you like bending over and letting our government shove it up your _ _ _.

  47. NotLaughing says at 2:31 am, October 10th, 2008

    JRD: What’s the first letter of - - -?

  48. I just knew you weren’t smart.

  49. JRD:

    Look everyone! It’s the last Nader supporter! Take a picture, quick!

    Oh wait, it’s just Ralph. Never mind.

  50. No it’s not Ralph, but it is a Ralph Nader supporter. I’ll give you half right. Your getting better!

  51. JRD: We wouldnt have to take it up the ___ if you morons hadn’t handed the victory to Bush in ‘00. Yeah I’m sure Gore would have been “just like” Dubya! Great job!!
