Conyers ignores Nader

Ralph Nader is more than a little peeved that the Democrats, specifically John Conyers, haven’t included him the hearings on impeachment slated to begin earlier today so he did what nerds do best – fired off a strongly-worded letter;

You have invited four members of the House to testify including, of course, Congressman Kucinich and several observers of the subject, including the inestimable former mayor of Salt Lake City Rocky Anderson, Bruce Fein and John Dean. The Libertarian candidate for President, Bob Barr is also on the witness list, but I am not.

This is not the first time that I have been excluded from testifying on subjects both of us have been concerned about and have discussed.

I see  poor Ralph underneath the basket in gym class jumping up and down waving his arms yelling “Throw it to me! Throw it to me!” And John Conyers, knowing Nader’s gonna drop the ball, just won’t.

Never mind that they have no evidence, or any legitimate charges, or that they could better use their time trying to find some place to drill for oil or some place to build a refinery. Ralph just wants some face time.
It’s all a little political theater for the nutroots and so Adam Kokesh, IVAW, the VFP and Code Pink won’t yell at them again.
