Clueless in Cleveland: the Story of Dennis the Red

Greyhawk

Holiday season, the economy is robust, the Medicare Bill has passed. A surprise Thanksgiving visit with the troops at the front reveals how they feel about their Commander-in-Chief. All in all, a great time for anyone wanting to replace the current president to lay low, shut up, enjoy some quality family time, and wait for a new year and perhaps some new issues to really come out swinging.

John F. Kerry had other ideas.

So does Dennis F. Kucinich.

I know a little about little Dennis; the 5'7" (but I'll call him "little" in honor of his mind) former mayor of Cleveland left his town a fiscal quagmire, in default and floundering after a few years of his guidance. In his own defense, he claims to have refused to sell out to special interests that could have saved the city. The voters promptly sent him packing.

You can Google up something to support anything you'd like on that issue.

One thing that could be said for Kucinich is that he's stayed true to his principles through the years. Except for the abortion issue. He flip-flopped on that and is now "pro-choice". So except for the things he's flip-flopped on he's stayed his ground.

And he seems to want to be the "farthest left" of any of the Democratic candidates.

I was going go say something here about little Dennis using the military dead in his campaign; I was going to ask for clarification on his point about there being no media cameras allowed on base to sensationalize the return of America's fallen heroes.

I was going to speak to the needless hassle of babysitting media folks on secure military installations just so they can film returning war dead who are already known to be dead.

I was going to ask if little Dennis thinks his commercial would be in some way improved, or just more dramatic, by some of that footage he's been denied.

I was going to point out the invasion of privacy that media-circus coverage of families in mourning would be; but those families can invite that circus to the funerals if they choose.

I was going to speculate that this sick gang of pretenders to power, led by this clueless moonbat from Cleveland, would drop a night-vision web cam into a casket to record the decomposition of a corpse if they thought it might get them a vote.

Then I realized that more people will read this blog in 2004 then will vote for little Dennis Kucinich for President of the United States.

Later, dude.
