The only reason anyone would watch tonight’s Democratic presidential debate from Charleston is to see what kind of antics crazy old “Mad Mike” Gravel will pull. Let’s be honest, the guy not only makes us feel good about being Republican, but he makes us feel good about not being senile. High five!

So, because the debate is sponsored by YouTube - and because YouTube is the only reason we can even pick Gravel out of a lineup - we decided to count down his five best YouTube moments. We wanted to do 10, but then we got bored and moved on to other things.

And… count ‘em:

My favorite part...I can't decide between "The Rock" video (where the rock has more charisma than the candidate), the rock video out takes or the #1 clip where our hero ponders running on a ticket with Ron Paul while simultaneously announcing a major policy initiative --from a college dorm. I want to see this man on future episodes of "The Surreal Life."

He actually makes Dennis Kucinich seem statesmanlike.

Rock hands down.

He really shouldn’t have taken that brown acid.

To be honest, I had avoided the early debates, thinking they had nothing to offer--but now, I intend to tune in, purely for the "Gravel" factor. I'm guessing the rock is a symbol of him coming out of hiding...?
