Mike Gravel...Moving on to "Greener" Pastures

Nincompoop Mike Gravel has concluded that he probably won't have enough declared delegates in Denver to steal the Democratic nod.

Never one to make a stupid decision, he's shifted over to the other natural choice, the Libertarian Party.

He's starting to work on getting their nomination, according to the New York Times.

This guy cracks me up. He's kind of the white Al Sharpton this year. Sure, there are some things that come out of his mouth (like, "Hello. My name is Mike Gravel." that you can't argue with), but others that you have to wonder if he has sense enough to come in out of the rain.

What Happened to Mike Gravel?

This is what happened, apparently...

Mike Gravel and Where He Gets His Meds

I have a busy Monday in front of me, so perhaps not much time to post, but I couldn't let this one from last night's Democratic debate in New Hampshire pass.

When the candidates were talking about the state of veterans' healthcare in America, former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel noted, "...so make no misunderstandings, I know the system. I get my meds from the VA and I get the rest from the Medicare. So I know the system up front and personal."

This begs the question what kind of meds he's on, of course. He's the loose cannon of the group and we hope that whatever he's taking, he ups the dosage a little bit!

Cynthia McKinney for President!

Yes, folks, the nuttiest thing to come out of Georgia since the President who farmed them is thinking of making a run for the White House in 2008. Cynthia McKinney is floating her name around here and there.

This woman will make little Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel look like serious candidates.

God bless the woman for trying, but she is among the lowest kinds of race-baiting bigots out there and I anxiously await if and how the Democratic establishment (or the folks who do the General Election debates, if she forgoes her party and runs as an indy/third party candidate) treat her entrance into the debates. My money is on cries of racism within 5 minutes of being kept out.

Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.
