Mike Gravel has been featured on a podcast segment called “My Favorite Democrat.” The segment is usually putting a spotlight on a Democrat who has recently done something so stupid, or proposed something so ridiculous, that it makes me laugh out loud. I think Gravel just earned another nod:
“I am prepared to tell you that Americans are getting fatter and dumber. I have no problem saying that,” Gravel said, adding “I’ve also said that the Americans are going to get the government they deserve.”
The long-shot candidate for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination made his provocative comments during an online candidates’ forum sponsored by Yahoo!, Slate Magazine, and the Huffington Post.
Wait…The Democrats went to a debate hosted by HuffPo? They won’t show up on Fox, but they will debate with a site that jokes about the accidental death of Dick Cheney. How far left are these candidates going to go?
The farther left, the better. Let the public get a good look behind the curtain, kids. Let them know what you are really made of so we don’t have any more socialist ideas passing through Congress.

“I am prepared to tell you that Americans are getting fatter and dumber. I have no problem saying that,” Gravel said, adding “I’ve also said that the Americans are going to get the government they deserve.”
