I can only presume he's finding his long retirement somewhat dull.

he has a long rocky road ahead.

Maybe he is a real down to earth guy...or a stoner.

President Gravel?

Despite his craggy profile, Americans would never elect someone with a heart of stone.

....accented on the second sylable: Gruh-VELL.

No self-esteem issues.
Solid reputation as a legendary snake oil salesman.
Known to old-time hunting and fishing guides as 'Goose Grease' Gravel.

???How can a total nobody have enough ego to spend money to think he is qualified to be President???

Is this just a rip-off of his supporters to fund his personal bank account, or moonbat delusion??

Just think, Barney Rubble could be his Secretary of the Interior, Fred Flintstone the Secretary of Labor, Mr. Slate as the Secretary of Commerce, and Bam Bam could be the Defense Secretary...

Funny how social democratic schemes and holocaust denial seem to go hand in hand so often...

I remember when he was first elected to the Senate in 1968. He was a Young man of 39 and defeated Senator Ernest gruening the father of Alaska statehood in the primary. He was really a nobody in the Senate in one bizarre incident he nominated himself for Vice President at the Dem convention in 1972( I guess he still has Potomac Fever). He was not respected and was soundly defeated by Frank Murkowski in 1980.
