i think the stupid sonovabitch needs to be smacked around. The only thing this can POSSIBLY do is help Bush stay in office - surely he doesn't want that. The guy did a couple of good consumer advocacy things way back before most of us were even born, and now he's trying to turn that into a political carrer so he can advance his whack-job ideas (federalize the top 100 performing companies in the US? WTF!).

He's taken himself from a respectable, even honorable consumer protection fighter (let's face it, the corvair WAS unsafe and if it weren't for Nader we'd be driving much more dangerous cars today) and spiraled down into a laughingstock that only attracts votes from the delusional far left - votes that COULD be going to kick King George out of Washington.
