The Mike Gravel Highlight Reel

when we could rely on Ralph Nader or Dennis Kucinich to be targets of ridicule, inspiring great guffaws throughout the typically dry electoral process?

Well, Nader's an Independent and thus wasn't a part of last night's Democratic presidential debate. Plus, he's remained relatively mum. Kucinich is still comically short and wiry, but, as we've just learned, he has a smokin' hot young Britwife who we'd kinda love to see as First Lady. Thankfully, though, as our fingers quivered on the channel button of the flipper last night, a guy we'd never heard of brought the crazy in Costco-sized tubs.

Thank you, former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel! We salute you with this highlight reel, continued after the jump ...
