Mike Gravel is one strange guy

Stick with this video - I promise it won't be worth it. This is some strange footage of Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel, a man who has as much hope of becoming president as I do at quarterbacking the Philadelphia Flyers' power play unit next season.

Some people might look at this video and try to psychoanalyze it; "it's a metaphor for this" or "it's symbolic of that," etc. I'm not buyin' it.

This is the mark of a desperate candidate who can't raise two plug nickels. Why? If you spend five minutes listening to him, you know why. He's too angry, too extreme and too unknown.

Don't get me wrong - I'm in the camp of "the more candidates the better," but this guy should have had the rock dropped on his head. What's more, this video, which runs 2:50, could have been done in about 45 seconds. But Gravel probably can't afford to hire a video editor, either.
