After my last post on third parties, I couldn’t help but go back and look at Mike Gravel’s (in)famous YouTube cover of the Beatles’ Helter Skelter. If you missed it back in April, take a moment to sit back and enjoy a short ride on the crazy train.

That has to be the strangest campaign commercial ever made.  But hey — our government has produced even stranger stuff.  Maybe President Obama could choose Gravel as his Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy….
