Garrison Keillor on Ralph Nader |
|
"The thrill of Naderism is in telling your Democratic pals that you're thinking about ralphing and seeing them get all flushed and earnest and wring their hands and roll their eyes and moan. Actually going into the voting booth and ralphing is no great pleasure, compared to the remorse you'll feel if Mr. Bush is elected and fresh horrors begin to unfold and the nadir is reached and the Bushies keep going down, down, down. I say, Stand tall for Ralph, wear his button, wave his flag, put on his cologne in the morning, be as ralphic as you like, but in that private sacred moment, make your X for the Man."

There's a whole interview at salon.com -- it's fantastic. Trashes Bush and the Republicans. But it's the Naderites I want to reach out to, because Republicans have a kind of pathological deafness.
