Lizard People Pop Up In Election Coverage

Only tangentially related to what we usually cover around here, David Icke's lizard people theory (as to who's behind it all) comes up in a discussion of the recount between Norm Coleman and Al Franken:

"I don't know if you've heard the conspiracy theory about the Lizard Men," said Davenport. "A friend of mine, we didn't like the candidates, so we were at first going to write in revolution, because we thought that was good and to the point. And then, we thought the Lizard People would be even funnier, and there was kind of a running inside gag between some friends and I."

Lizard People refers to the conspiracy theory there's a race of shape shifting lizards masquerading as humans who rule the world, but Davenport doesn't consider himself a believer.
