Nader's Ego Enters 2008 RaceThe field of presidential candidates got a little more crowded today as the massive ego of consumer activist Ralph Nader announced that it was entering the 2008 race. For its historic announcement, Mr. Nader's ego chose New York's Madison Square Garden, the only venue available large enough to contain the candidate's bloated self-esteem.

Mr. Nader's ego went on to enumerate the reasons for its latest candidacy, telling the audience, "I want to see an America where I am on campaign buttons, banners, and 'Larry King Live.'"
