Invite third-party candidates to inauguration?
The Washington Post’s Reliable Source blog has some fun with Ralph Nader for suggesting that third-party candidates should be invited to President Obama’s inauguration:
The sometimes cantankerous outsider has sent an open letter to Barack Obama asking that third-party candidates—the Libertarian Party’s Bob Barr, the Constitution Party’s Chuck Baldwin and the Green Party’s Cynthia McKinney—be included among the Democrats, Republicans, business execs and others at the January ceremonies.“I have not spoken to any of them about this recommendation,” Nader writes. “To avoid any semblance of self-interest, I will delete my name from this list and watch the event on C-SPAN.”
Oh, c’mon—the man’s dying for an invite.
