See you later, Ralphie Nader

MANIFESTO

I'll never forgive Ralph Nader for essentially single-handedly allowing the worst president in the nation's history to occupy the White House. Nevertheless, aged and egomaniacal or not, Nader continues to talk a good game.

Nader, speaking to about 100 supporters in downtown Waterbury [Sunday], said Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain fail to talk about what he said is the extent of corporate power in the federal government.

"What are these people running for?" he asked. "To get to the White House to get their orders from their corporate paymasters."

Of course, the question, "What are these people running for?" could as well apply to the Winsted Wacko.
