Nader on Daily Show Wed.: wild speculation

Ralph Nader (above) is going to be on the Daily Show tomorrow, presumably as part of the publicity tour for the film about him, An Unreasonable Man. He'll also be at the Nuart just blocks from my house for the opening this Friday.

But this is the Daily Show. Everybody knows what it means when a politician goes on the Daily Show. So...will he announce that he is running for President again?

Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Sunday left the door open for another possible White House bid in 2008 and criticized Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton as “a panderer and a flatterer.”

Asked on CNN’s Late Edition news program if he would run in 2008, the lawyer and consumer activist said, “It’s really too early to say. ... I’ll consider it later in the year.”

If you read it quickly, it sounds like he is calling Hillary a philanderer (surprisingly, originally from the Greek phílandros, a woman who loves her husband).
