It wasn’t all hugs and kisses for Barack Obama in Denver this past week as Ralph Nader and Sean Penn took time to rip both parties.

From the D.C. Examiner

Just a few miles from the Democratic love-in taking place at the Pepsi Center, Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader and actor Sean Penn fired up a crowd of 4,000 at the University of Denver and presented not only a sharp rebuke of the Republican Party, but of Democrats as well.

“You’ll have to excuse my voice,” said Penn. “I’ve been numbing myself on the punch at this prom — and it is a prom.”

“The Democratic and Republican candidates who seek our employment as our next president are both on record as participants in devolving our Constitution,” said Penn, who conceded that Barack Obama is “a great symbol of possibility,” but called the Democratic nominee “dominantly status quo.”

“I’m sick of this high school with suits on called the Democratic and Republican parties!” said Penn. “They snicker away debate like a clique of wormy snobs.”

Nader issued an ever more direct critique of the week-long Democratic convention. “Who are they kidding? Who are they trying to fool with their flattery? … This party is sick, decrepit and losing its soul!”

“They are being wined and dined by the ‘corporators,’ the corporate predators, the corporations who have ripped off American consumers and workers,” said Nader.

Liberals used to love Nader when he poked and prodded the other side, but many of them still blame him for costing Al Gore the presidency in 2000 by sucking away votes in Florida.  Ever since that time Nader has struggled to remain remotely relevant and now that he is joined by a far left actor in attacking the Democrats he has distanced himself even more from ost Democrats and liberals.
