I’ve blogged before about how much I love fringe presidential candidates. They definitely make the best videos, from ones where they claim they are the only ones in their party qualified to run for president to ones where they make post-modernist statements about the future of political campaigning.
Now stone-faced Mike Gravel has an entry in the world of crazy videos — one where he makes it clear he will stare deep into your soul and convince you to vote for him by throwing a rock in a lake. Got that?
Okay, so I don’t get it either. But this feels a lot like my college English classes where inevitably the poem I didn’t understand was the one most revered by scholars. So Mike Gravel is either crazy or the smartest man to run for president, ever.
Or maybe he just has too much time on his hands.
