Did anyone else hear the guy who's running against Nader?
Was anyone else listening to AAR just now and hear the guy who says he's running to split the split of the independent vote?

Janikow or something?

I thought I was going to bust something I was laughing so hard!

"Ralph Nader has TWO SUITS!"

Anyone know anything about this guy?

1. That's funny!
So they'll each get 2% or less? That's just pathetic.

2. He was totally tongue in cheek about it!
Supposedly (it might have been staged...not sure) a spokesman from Ralph Nader's campaign called up and was berating this guy for taking some of their 6%.

The main guy was saying he didn't want the vegetarian vote anyway. "I don't eat vegetables! I live on baking soda and corn meal! And Ralph Nader has two suits! Two brown suits! He even stained the second one in the same place on the lapel so people would think it was the SAME ONE!"

Brilliant. Anything to take a little hot air out of Ralphie's sails this year makes me happy.

3. It was a comedy bit
... trying to highlight the lunacy of Nader's campaign. (The name sounded like Dan Jadikow.)

It *WAS* hilarious.

If you missed it, you can check it out later via the archives over at AirAmericaPlace.com. The bit starts at the 1h54m mark of 'Unfiltered'.

Well, there's always that guy John Kerry.

5. See post #3
I wasn't sure if they were serious or not! I was only listening with one ear at work, and suddenly, things took a turn for the silly.
