  1. Joe Biden   15 years ago

    He's fudamn articulate!

  2. Jeffersonian   15 years ago

    Strip away at the layers of hypocritical slime that cover all modern American politics, and this is pretty much bedrock reality.

  3. Sudden   15 years ago

    Is it a shame that I'd vote for this guy on the sheer honesty over the guy who claims to be a good man?

  4. Jeff P   15 years ago

    As I watch the competing ads for Richard Blumethal and Linda McMahon here in Connecticut (neither of whom are truly human), I'm angry I can't vote for this guy.

    1. Jeff P   15 years ago

      I would respond with SNL's Pete Tagliani vs Winfield Adcock debate (one of Franken's finer moments) but NBC fears the intertubes.

  5. Mister DNA   15 years ago

    If only Charles McHutchence and Harrison Greely III would enter the race!

  6. cynical   15 years ago

    Edwin!?!

  7. Astrid   15 years ago

    Looks like I just found my new write-in candidate.

  8. jasno   15 years ago

    This is the single greatest thing I've ever seen on Reason.com.

    It's like they read my mind.

  9. Pro Libertate   15 years ago

    It saddens me that there isn't more sociopathic narcissism in American politics today.

    Wait, I said that wrong.

    1. Resident Smartass   15 years ago

      "It turns me on that there isn't more sociopathic narcissism in American politics today."

      That better?

      1. Pro Libertate   15 years ago

        Strangely, that's not where I was going with that.

  10. Jon   15 years ago

    That's awesome!!!
