Ralph Nader spent 1000 man-hours coming up with this fundraising plea: “I’ve had a lot of hummus. Hummus is nutritious. And delicious. It makes you stronger and healthier. So, Bloomberg’s report on the Lebanese claim to hummus got me to thinking about an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics. If you donate to Nader/Gonazlez by midnight tonight an amount that has the number three in it (three being the number of lemons in my mom’s hummus recipe), we’ll e-mail to you Rose Nader’s hummus recipe tomorrow.” Eh, sorry, we don’t have e-mail.

How much for Bill O’Reilly’s falafel recipe?

Hamster October 9, 2008 at 3:40 pm

I like hummers too, Ralph.

El Bombastico October 9, 2008 at 3:41 pm

“I’ve had a lot of hummus. I know hummus. I worked with hummus. And babaganoush… you are NO hummus.”

shortsshortsshorts October 9, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Nader’s been eating that hummus for years, and look how great he looks.

Hamster October 9, 2008 at 3:41 pm

What about McCain’s recipe for Cornpone?

McCainsThirdNipple October 9, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Lamers is a REAL bus line? Well, I just learned something new today.

echoroc October 9, 2008 at 3:44 pm

WTF? x10. I voted for him twice, though. What can I say? I like me some hummus.

freakishlystrong October 9, 2008 at 3:45 pm

What the fuck?!!

SayItWithWookies October 9, 2008 at 3:46 pm

You need a recipe to mix chickpeas, garlic and lemon juice?! Geeze — send me three bucks and I’ll give you a fabulous recipe for grilled cheese sandwiches — passed on to me by a mysterious Indian shaman.

[re=128194]McCainsThirdNipple[/re]: When I was in New Orleans this summer, I saw tour buses from a company called — seriously — Hotard.

Dr. Zoidberg October 9, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Wait…what?

dannygutters October 9, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Actually, that’s a freaking good hummus recipie. It’s in rose nader’s out of print cook book called It Happened in the Kitchen. It’s a pretty good book if you like ground lamb or being lectured to.

AngryBlakGuy October 9, 2008 at 3:48 pm

…if there is any justice in this world; the international market for hummus has just defaulted and crashed!

ManchuCandidate October 9, 2008 at 3:48 pm

This campaign is sponsored by the number 3 and the letters F and U.

Serolf Divad October 9, 2008 at 3:48 pm

I didn’t realize you could actually make hummus… or that you’d want to for that matter.

shortsshortsshorts October 9, 2008 at 3:49 pm

Vigilante: your thoughts?

Texan Bulldoggette October 9, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Hummus originated in the Middle East. I didn’t know Ralph & Mother Nader were also Islamic terrorists.

longjohnson October 9, 2008 at 3:51 pm

You hummus!

mookworthjwilson October 9, 2008 at 3:52 pm

$.03 to Ralph…a good hummus recipe to me…

Vewol Mevemont October 9, 2008 at 3:57 pm

I have something for Ralph that’s kind of like hummus but a darker shade of brown.

Advocatus_Diaboli October 9, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Is the hummus flavored with parrot, by any chance?

http://wonkette.com/402815/ralph-nader-talks-sadly-to-bird-contemplates-wearing-bear-suit

I like me some parrot-flavored hummus.

ProfessorJukes October 9, 2008 at 3:59 pm

Hummus is friends with terrorists.

Serolf Divad October 9, 2008 at 4:02 pm

Here’s your dilemme:

Superduperawesome hummus recipe that’ll get you laid with that hottie canvasser from the Green Party when you tell her you made it yourself BUT John McCain wins the presidency.

vs.

Supermarket hummus that’ll score you points for “trying” even though it’ll take a few more dates to get to second base even BUT Obama wins the presidency.

It’s your choice.

CrabtreesBludgeon October 9, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Wait – this is REAL? This did not come from the twisted minds of our beloved Wonkette overlords?! I think my brain just sploded (it kinda looks like Hummus).

Doglessliberal October 9, 2008 at 4:04 pm

[re=128198]freakishlystrong[/re]: that is really the only reaction, yes

Tra October 9, 2008 at 4:05 pm

… an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics …

Nader, nader … Oh, you mean the hummus guy?

lawrenceofthedesert October 9, 2008 at 4:12 pm

Shameless pandering to the garbanzo lobby.

Doglessliberal October 9, 2008 at 4:13 pm

[re=128203]SayItWithWookies[/re]: and tahini, don’t forget the tahini!

Gopherit v2.0 October 9, 2008 at 4:17 pm

Betcha vigilante is out buying pita chips RIGHT NOW!!!

Gopherit v2.0 October 9, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Bill-o’s falafel with Nader’s hummus? That’s a guaranteed belly-ache right there.

TGY October 9, 2008 at 4:21 pm

Thanks, thanks, Ralph Nader, for making us laugh at squashed garbanzo beans yet again.

JoeFannyPack October 9, 2008 at 4:22 pm

As I always suspected, Nader is 1/222nd Satan.

OzoneTom October 9, 2008 at 4:23 pm

Blend
* 1 can garbanzo beans/chickepeas
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon cumin

Send me money.

[re=128189]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: To be fair, he is older than Methuselah, a.k.a., John Sidney Walnuts! McCain MCMXXXVI.

TJBeck October 9, 2008 at 4:38 pm

Holy crap, I thought that was some crazy thing you guys made up. I just came here to see how much more crack Jim had been smoking, but that’s the actual text from the Nader thing.

Maus October 9, 2008 at 4:48 pm

[re=128198]freakishlystrong[/re]: With enough light and time, most any third-party candidate is exposed as a nutbar.

NoWireHangers October 9, 2008 at 4:54 pm

I might have donated 3 cents if they mailed the hummus to me.

jagorev October 9, 2008 at 4:55 pm

I would kill for some hummus right now. I’m going to stop by the Israeli place on my way home.

[re=128184]El Bombastico[/re]: Perfect.

Dave! October 9, 2008 at 5:02 pm

I tried to donate .03… but the minimum donation is $1. Oh well, back to store bought hummus.

sezme October 9, 2008 at 5:47 pm

Thanks, Ralph, now I’ve got a craving for hummus. Tell you what, though. I’ll stake my hummus against your mother’s, and the winner gets all your campaign money. The loser, of course, will get the hummus.

shortsshortsshorts October 9, 2008 at 6:51 pm

[re=128553]sezme[/re]: Between the money and hummus, you might want to go with winner takes the hummus. Natard has not a dime to his wittle name.

Kaclon October 9, 2008 at 8:18 pm

[re=128211]dannygutters[/re]: If you repost the recipe here, none of us have to donate, and all of us get hummus! Everyone wins!

Weeping Jesus October 9, 2008 at 9:50 pm

Is Nader’s partner really named “Gonazlez”? That’s pronounced: “Gone assless”, you know. Just guessing that Nader has done just that…just sayin’… not the most handsome dude in the world and all that, ya know?

Cannaya October 9, 2008 at 10:28 pm

Wait, Ralph Nader’s mom is still alive?

Lascauxcaveman October 10, 2008 at 12:49 am

[re=128203]SayItWithWookies[/re]: YOU FORGOT TAHINI! (and Poland)

Damn, I love me some hummus, but why would anyone want to go to the effort of making it themselves when the shit they sell at Costco is pennies a ton. That stuff with the blue and white lid, whateverthehell its called? “Mesa” or somesuch.

Freaking addicting. And dirt cheap!

I spread that stuff on Ritz crackers, wheat toast, nutter butter’s, my wife’s breasts; everything, man. Absolutley dee-lish.

JRD October 10, 2008 at 2:14 am

You know most of you people on this site deserve what our government is doling out to you.
Nader is brilliant, and has been right for a very long time. He deserves respect, not your idiotic blathering. GROW UP, or maybe you like bending over and letting our government shove it up your _ _ _.

Look everyone! It’s the last Nader supporter! Take a picture, quick!

Oh wait, it’s just Ralph. Never mind.

JRD October 10, 2008 at 1:36 pm

No it’s not Ralph, but it is a Ralph Nader supporter. I’ll give you half right. Your getting better!
