King Ralph?

Ralph Nader's shadow campaign to re-elect George Bush took a step forward this week when the Florida Supreme Court affirmed Nader's belief that he's above the law, and Steve Gilliard is pissed.

A family friendly excerpt from a post that's considerably less so...
He thinks he can become the king of the left if he manages to swat down another Democratic candidate and that we will all turn to a 70 year old bachelor with a taudry record of violating worker rights and consorting with the hard right. Yep, that's my idea of a progressive hero.
Uh-huh.

I wish there was a more charitable interpretation possible, but it's really down to this. Ralph Nader is a despicable fraud. Whether he's always been one or has recently become one may be a matter of debate, but it's a debate for another day. Right now, it's just that.
