Wanted: Someone to make Nader look good

Ralph Nader is running an ad looking for two people to be his press spokespersons.

Here's the ad:

Description of duties and qualifications: The Nader/Gonzalez '08 presidential campaign for a progressive, majoritarian redirection of our country is seeking experienced media persons to conduct outreach and receive press inquiries.

You can bring your conscience to work daily, commit truth, and engage the great issues of our times.

Writing and reportorial experience are needed, unless you are a sui generis talented and motivated dynamo in these tumultuous arenas of newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the blogs.

Applications are invited, together with references, writing samples and other magnetic material that you believe commend you for these tasks. Savor the experience, make a consequential contribution to public dialogue, public education and the substantive quality of this presidential year, whose major party candidates are so besieged thus far with trivia and distractions.

I think they left a few things out. I imagine that Nader's press spokesperson is going to have to be prepared to answer some tough questions over the next several months.

Such as:

1. WTF is Nader doing running again?

2. Is Obama not progressive enough for King Ralph?

3. You want me to run a story about your candidate? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

4. How much of your campaign fund was contributed by Republicans?

5. Which is bigger -- Saturn's moon Titan or Ralph's ego?

Actually, there are worse jobs out there. Imagine if you were Cheney's PR guy.
