Uhm … completely correct? Erm … okay weeping in closet now.

Weeks before his nomination to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon, corporate tobacco lawyer and right-wing business extremist Lewis F. Powell took a break from golf and his boardroom duties at 11 of America’s biggest corporations to write a manifesto against the then-vibrant American left. His detailed plan, delivered in the form of a memo [...]

Ugh. NADER. He’s been such a dick the last few days. His communications guy has been sending out all of these sarcastic (“pathetic”) e-mails; for example, there was one about how Nader won a mock election in some hippie high school and then decided that they were all more ethical than Obama. And then there [...]

Who is the most temperamental, childish, stunt-driven candidate in the 2008 election? If you answered WALNUTS!, you’re close, but you are still wrong. The answer is Ralph Nader, who, coincidentally, also has the worst hummus recipe of any candidate for high public office. Today Nader held a press conference and refused to supply more than [...]

The ceremonial (but real!) first votes are in from the spooky midnight rites in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, and Barack Obama is officially winning the presidential election, 15 votes to 6. Also, this is a comical sentence: “Independent Ralph Nader was also on the ballot, but received no votes.” Curses! We had just bought $5k [...]

Wonkette operative John Scholle reports: “FYI I paid $3 for Ralph Nader’s hummus recipe thinking it would make an interesting dish to bring to the election party I’m attending. It is WAY garlicky. It called for four cloves and I put in four cloves but the garlic is so strong it burns. Ralph can’t even [...]

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 [...]

Perhaps the only organization more press release-happy than MoveOn.org is the Nader-Gonzalez campaign, and for that reason alone they should be dumped in a pit of half-rotten venomous snakes with Joe Lieberman and set on fire, slowly. But also! They have a new press release with statistics that show, somehow, that Ralph Nader will maybe [...]

Oh how fantastic, exactly what we wanted to hear, Ralph Nader weaseled his way onto the Florida ballot! WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR RALPH NADER, WHO HAS JUST MADE THE FLORIDA BALLOT. The heroic party that picked him up is the Ecology Party, which must be like the secret “art film wing” of the much [...]

America’s happiest moment in eight years was when that dude in a bear suit comically walked down the beach while that local-teevee reporter described some invisible pier, during Hurricane Ike. Poor old Ralph Nader wonders aloud, to his running mate, a bird named “Gonzalez,” if maybe he should wear a bear suit and fuck a [...]

Here are some important new Battleground polls that you should take with a grain of salt, because they have not factored in Ron Paul’s 1/3-endorsement of Ralph Nader today. Otherwise, these are pretty good signs for Obama — after all, they were conducted Sept. 7-9, a three-day period during which Democrats caved entirely to their [...]

Ron Paul’s very special press conference has ended and, we regret to inform, it featured no “Tournament of Losers”-style death match among the various third-party candidates he invited. He totally copped out and endorsed three third-party candidates: Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, and Chuck Baldwin. He was planning on endorsing Bob Barr, too, but selfish Barr [...]

Look, Ron Paul, YOU WIN, FINE, YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE GREAT, now will you please go away for a long time and play with your gold bricks, alone? Of course he won’t, which is why he’s making yet another “special announcement” tomorrow about some useless new thing he’s cookin’ up. He’s almost as bad [...]

Look everyone, Wonkette videographer Liz “Polaroid” Glover is here in the Twin Cities doing those interviews that you love so much. Hooray! Yesterday or the day before or something, she caught up with conspiracy theory/New World Order media kingpin Alex Jones to discuss, among other things, his confrontation with cryptofascist blogger Michelle Malkin in Denver [...]

UNSAFE AT ANY CONVENTION  6:16 pm August 12, 2008

OH GREAT, NADER IS ALSO HAVING A DENVER SUPER-DUPER RALLY: They’re churning out the e-mails over at Nader-Gonzales world headquarters today: “The Headquarters’ energy is fully concentrated on Nader’s “Open the Debates’ Denver Super Rally at the Magness Arena at 7 p.m. on Aug 27, during the Democratic National Convention. Ralph Nader … is currently [...]
