Just saw Nader on The Daily Show...

[WindRavenX]

...ranting and raving like a fucking lunatic.
He's insane, absolutly insane.

[Ore]

1. How many times do you have to run for President before you lose your

sanity?

for the guys who lose each time, it's probably 3

[WindRavenX]

3. It's not that...

Gore has shown that despite being crushed (many suspect he gained 40 lbs. after the election due to, ah, emotional stress) he can funnel his anger and pain into his outrage and his wonderful speeches.
Nader has had no shot and never will have a shot at winning.
Gore is humble. Nader is an ego freak.
And I have to say, he sounded very...insane.

[Ore]

6. Gore wouldn't qualify anyways

it seems that it's either the LaRouche types, or the "third party" guys who fall victim to this

[Spinzonner]

14. Excuse me

I'll go channel Harold Stassen and get back to you

[Angelus]

2. Yeah...I saw him on there tonight.

The only part I like was when he said anyone would be better than Bush for president.

Other than that, I hate that idiot.

[WindRavenX]

5. well duh

But if he really believed those words, would he really be running?
So Ralph, you're an enabler.
And Steven Colbert let him off the hook without asking any tough questions regarding Nader receiving help from conservative groups...Jon would've nailed him.

[Angelus]

8. Yeah...

if Nader gave a flying fuck about defeating Bush, he'd drop out of the race and campaign for Kerry. But no...Mr. Egoholic is in it for himself.

I really hate that douchebag. :grr:

[truthspeaker]

4. I didn't see him ranting or raving. And he had some good points.

Not always very articulate, though.

[WindRavenX]

7. Of course he made some good points

The Democratic party has in many ways failed to stand up to Bush's tactics, this is true. However, Nader once again did not make any distinctions between W and Kerry...

[truthspeaker]

9. True. But that doesn't make him a lunatic.

[WindRavenX]

10. I called him a lunatic because...

...his behavior was so bizzare (really, it just seemed odd). He just seemed rather odd in my eyes :shrug:
PS- does anyone know why Jon wasn't anchoring the show tonight?

[theoceansnerves]

11. yeah

his wife just had a baby.

[truthspeaker]

12. which Nader mentioned on the show. Are you sure you watched it?

I'm no Nader fan, not by a long shot, but your comments about his behavior remind me of Rethug attacks on Gore, Dean, and anyone else who dares speak with passion about important issues. The only odd thing about his speaking was he was trying to crack jokes on a comedy show and failing miserably.

[WindRavenX]

13. Maybe I just didn't read his behavior well

And yes, I did watch it (every show!).

[theoceansnerves]

15. whoa

what? i think you clicked the wrong reply link...

[R Hickey]

16. I saw it.

Steve Colbare missed asking the question - "Is taking support from the GOP a dirty trick?" And Nader acted like a lunatic for the first half of his interview, and...well frankly, in the second half, I could have acted more normal, even on a bad day.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

17. I turned it off as soon as he came on.

I also tuned in late last night. What happened to Jon?
