Sully nails Jacob Levy (via the Instapundit)has his one thoughts, as well as links to many other opinions regarding Nader. Most damning, this quote from Mark Kleiman:
One of the bitterest lessons I learned as a young and naive liberal staffer on Capitol Hill was that the “public interest research” produced by the Nader groups was systematically fraudulent. Every time I actually got into an issue deeply enough to understand the details — nuclear power, toxic waste, pharmaceutical regulation — I discovered that the Naderites had no more respect for the facts than the industries they were fighting: in some cases, less.
So let’s hear a little less about St. Ralph this time. Someone should ask some pointed questions about how he got to be a multimillionaire. (Hint: What happens to the royalties on the books that the underpaid Public Citizen employees write under Nader’s by-line?)
I must admit that it is nice hearing the left stating what everyone else has known about Nader for years.

It IS nice, isn’t it? Chicken coming home to roost have a tendency to do that to parties.
Isn’t it funny how the useful idiots stand to be hurt by a useful idiot for the other side? I find it hilarious. I also find their reactions to him, now that their nuts are in the wringer, telling.
Not that it told me anything I didn’t already know about socialists and their concept of honor among thieves.
As long as you follow their Marxist catechism you’re speaking truth to power, but woe to you if you should one day find yourself in a position where you might hurt their cherished, genocidal ideals.
