The Case for Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich deserves my grudging respect in one regard. By achieving political fame by running for president in 2004, and particularly by establishing himself as the bold, fearless leader of a niche group of idealists, he has brilliantly managed to achieve the greatest discrepancy in physical attractiveness between a wife and non-rich husband in the history of marriage (Beauty & the Leprechaun). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTpoo0uqGbc&NR=1
It almost makes him worthy of consideration for the presidency. Clearly this is a man who realizes that sometimes the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line. This man plays chess not checkers. And he clearly doesn't mind presenting himself energetically as a man on a grandiose moral quest in order to achieve a practical end. And clearly he is an outside-the-box thinker who has demonstrated the capacity to leverage very few resources and strengths into vastly disproportionate results. Isn't that the kind of mind this country could use? America may already be the world's -- or more precisely, the earth's only superpower, but that's probably thinking small (pardon the pun) compared to the scale of galactic conquest Kucinich can envision and achieve. Hmmm.
(note: I hope no one regards the above as sexist or otherwise offensive. Just having a little, hopefully innocuous, fun. If you object, please let me know here or via email.)
No card-carrying member of the Workers World Party, past or present, need ever apply for POTUS. Such is Dennis Kucinich.

Do you guys realize that I'm KIDDING?? That this is satire?? I mean, I'm not kidding about the possibility that his presidential run may have been partly motivated by the fame he'd get and, in turn, a pretty bride, but I thought it would be obvious that my argument that perhaps he should be president because he managed to get that pretty bride was intended as humor.
that I noticed this a while ago. I don't think it was really because he ran for President though--it's just that she really did believe in what he stood for. They both seem like honest and sincere people (even if I often disagree with their positions), and good for them that they found each other. I hope they stay together until he passes on.
this was hilarious. i think there is a serious lack of humor here at RedState, and I'm glad you've posted this.
for whatever reason, D.K has always fascinated me too. remember when he tried to pick up dates DURING the 2004 campaign? he has my admiration, if not my respect.
Thanks. I vaguely recall seeing in the news following the 2004 campaign that he was very openly seeking a bride and encouraging women to contact him. I don't remember the details, but it was pretty goofy, although probably worth it for him even if he eventually met his current wife by other means.
The man is the quintessential proof that Washington D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people.
As for using a run for the presidency to move up several notches in wife hottieness (assuming, just because I want to, that that's a major reason he ran), I can just picture the guy looking at himself in the mirror each night before bed, winking, pointing his finger pistol-style at his own image in the mirror and saying in his best lounge lizard voice, "Good move, K-man!"
Come back to my place. I want to show you my...platform.

Kucinich got a little respect from me during the Dem debate. Did anyone see his hot red headed wife? Dayum. Only in America can a liberal munchkin politician score like that ;)
Seriously, Kucinich gets credit for being usually upfront and honest about what he wants to do as opposed to the more slippery flip floppers in Washington.
If you always find yourself arguing the exceptions rather than the rule you just might be rapidly sliding down your own slippery slope to irrelevance. -CommonCents
Thinking back to my comic book reading days, Planet Bizzaro would be a good place for "Dennis the menace" to be President, maybe.
