"Meet the Morons": Profiles of our Presidental candidates, Vol. I

As a courtesy to my international reader(s), I've decide I will provide profiles of the weird, obscure people who run for President every election cycle. Up first: Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.

Here's all you need to know about Dennis Kucinich: he's a fruitcake moron that the far far left inexplicably likes, mostly because he's a vegetarian. Kucnich's main goal is to create a "Department of Peace" that will serve "as a tool to tap the infinite capabilities of humanity to transform consciousness and conditions that impel or compel violence at a personal, group, or national level toward creating understanding, compassion, and love." Like I said, fruitcake moron. But until I read this post by Kos, I didn't realize that:

-- As mayor of Cleveland, Kucinich ran the city into the ground. He was so bad, he was named America's 7th Worst Mayor for the last 70 years.
-- Until he ran for President in 2004, Kucinich was staunchly pro-life and anti-stem cell research.
-- He thinks he met Shirley MacLaine in a former life

The scandal is not that this guy is running for President (he doesn't have a prayer). The scandal is that he's an elected representative for the people of Ohio.

Oh by the way, that's Kucinich on the right, his (new) wife on the left, and some aging hippy in the middle. And way to go all out on that sign , "National Peace Lobby Project."
