Ralph Nader

Before he announced that his dementia kicked in Sunday, we had a running Ralph Nader joke:

"Where's Ralph Nader?" we asked, missing the perennial pain in the ass.

"Al Gore's got him."

"Really?"

"Yeah. After what happened in 2000, Gore has Nader locked up in his basement. He's keeping him out of the race and, he needs him."

"Why would Gore have anything to do with Nader?"

" He needs the consumer crusader as an energy source. Gore has Nader locked in his basement chained to a stationery bike powering his low-carbon-foot-print mansion."

"Not any more."

"He must have escaped."

"Where are the butterfly nets?"
