According to Jennings, Democrats Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid wanted me to run for Orrin Hatch's Senate seat in 2004. Jennings turned them down, saying that win a game show, and you can run for Senate. That's when I knew the Democratic party was screwed up!!

1. Oh, FFS.
If the party wanted to run a real winner, they should run Rocky Anderson.

He's great.

2. You can't put quotes around something that isn't actually what someone said.

He said they were fucked in '04, which they were (due to Diebold), which is a far cry from saying "That's when I knew the Democratic party was screwed up"

Not really sure if there's an agenda behind this or not, at this point.
