The '08 Libertarian Nominee meets Borat

This is a pretty funny video I found on Fark today, and I got a bit of a laugh out of it. Bob Barr, the former Republican Congressman and current Libertarian candidate for president, could play a pretty big factor in the November election. The theory goes that he could siphon off votes from Republicans who are unhappy about some of McCain's more moderate political views. Gee, that would be too bad - it would be nice for the GOP to suffer from a third-party candidate for once.

Barr is a complex character, but I mostly dislike him. I'm over it, for sure, but I'll never forget the Clinton Impeachment and what those on the right are capable of if given control. Actually, it's too bad that Democrats don't have the backbone that the GOP-controlled Congress did in the late 1990s, because Congressional Democrats actually now have an extremely strong and compelling case for impeaching a president (for a laundry list of reasons). Sigh. Oh well, President Bush has about as much of a chance being impeached as I do of hitting the Powerball. It's like the last 16 years in presidential politics has been some sort of a bad dream. Here's hoping that November exorcises a bunch of demons.
