people, people, watch this tape of alan keyes going off on a reporter in his race for illinois senate. it's quite unbelievable. i mean, how do republicans even take him seriously? he's been a serious republican contender for senate in several states now and has been a part of the presidential circuit who's well-loved in right-wing republican circles. watch the whole thing through because it gets better and vehement near the end. how do such people get so far in politics? unbelievable.

for those of you who are non-political, it's worth a really hearty, good laugh

p.s. they keep taking down the official link because, one would guess, they don't want it spread through the internet further. but this site has kept a mirror of it continually through the day. let me know if you have trouble getting it to work. (you can also see it through here)
