The road to Shirleys’ house?
For those who were wondering, Rep. Dennis Kucinich confirmed at Tuesday night’s debate that yes, he has, in fact, seen an unidentified flying object. Tim Russert asked the question:”Shirley MacLaine writes in her new book that you sighted a UFO over her home in Washington state,” Russert said, “that you found the encounter extremely moving, that it was a triangular craft, silent and hovering, that you “felt a connection to your heart and heard directions in your mind.”
Kucinich said yes, all of that was true. And he defended it as a solid policy position. More Americans have seen UFO’s, Kucinich quipped, than approve of Bush’s presidency. He deadpanned that he plans to open campaign offices in Roswell, New Mexico.
What he did not know was that a short distance away, his UFO issue was, well, taking off in an interview with Gov. Bill Richardson, who during an appearing on MSNBC with Chris Matthews demanded faster declassifying of documents pertaining to Roswell and UFO sightings. But Richardon stopped short of saying there is a government alien coverup.
I have heard some talk show hosts calling for Kucinich to withdraw. Actually, I kind of like Kucinich, and I’m sure it was just a weather balloon anyway. The questions becomes, does this change your opinion about him?
Aliens must be involved otherwise how do you explain how that weird little guy that smoking hot wife.
26 – And that’s a reason not to vote for him? Sounds a lot more introspective than religious fanatics.
Just because a ‘flying object’ is ‘unidentified’, that doesn’t automagically make it extra-terrestrial. It’s UNIDENTIFIED…meaning we don’t know what it is.
I’ve seen lots of things that I couldn’t readily identify…until I learned what they were. I’m guessing most people have. Some of them were in the sky, but I didn’t just assume they were aliens…
I think that a real, ahem debate, between Thompson’s wife and his would help the voter Illiterati decide.
It’s pretty clear that Kucinich is completely bonkers. His stance on Iraq alone should tell you that. The goofy UFO stuff is not surprising at all.
Lest We Forget Dept.
(cue spooky theremin music)
Jimmy Carter said he saw one, as well.
Also, didn’t the Great Hero of The Right, Ronald Reagan say he saw not one, but two flying saucers? Not only that, but he reportedly considered basing some foreign policy decisions on the advice of his wife’s astrologer.
The late, great Wall St. pundit Louis Rukeyser said it best:
“Hey, what you expect? They’re from California, man.”
#35 It’s pretty clear that Kucinich is completely bonkers. His stance on Iraq alone should tell you that.
If he’s nuts about Iraq, then so is about 75% of Americans and the percentage is growing.
I, personally, think you have to be ABSOLUTELY OUT OF YOUR MIND to think the Iraq war is worth the TRILLION bucks, minimum, this is going to cost us.

>>on Iraq alone should tell you that.
Most Americans have the same “stance”.
Yet someone can be elected for believing in a mythical man who reigns in the clouds (and is actually three people in one). I and I am pretty sure no one here has actually has any real evidence to believe in UFOs, big foot, a master mind corporate conspiracy to bring on the NWO or for that matter god (faith can only be taken so far when it is not rational).
Kucinich is a freak. He was a freak when he was my mayor (and bankrupted Cleveland), he’s a freak now. How can anyone, Rep or Dem alike, find this man fit for President? He couldn’t run Cleveland – how the heck is he gonna run the US of A?

>>mayor (and bankrupted Cleveland), he’s a freak now.
And that’s not a reason to be president? Dumbya is a freak. He was a freak when he was snorting coke at keggers, he was a freak when he was flying potted plants around Dixie in an effort to dodge the draft, he was a freak when he tried to bankrupt America with his stupid trophy war, and he’s a freak now.
At least Kucinich isn’t an asshole, so he’s got a leg up on the Chimperor in Chief right from the get-go.
These kind of questions are traps for candidates. They are crafted not to gather information about a candidate but to make one slip up and say something that can be exploited in the press later.
Too bad Kucinich fell for it.
A vote for Kucinich, is a vote for anal probes for all. Bet you’re not going to see any “negative ads” mentioning the UFO thing. That’s like a sacret cow, aerospace contractor, hot button issue. This crap coming out, at this time, explain the release of the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind – 30th Anniversary special edition DVDs. Is Spielberg attempting to help these politicians make a nonissue into some seemingly important? So they don’t have to deal with any REAL issues that effect us all. Obviously the only think Spielberg ever has to worry about is UFOs being believed in.
BTW, did the whole world somehow forget that Shirley’s friend, Knight, who pretended to channel some dead viking, was exposed as a fraud? And that whole “Out on a Limb” movie/story was a bunch of crap? I mean does anyone still believe that aliens are somehow connected to the afterlife? And you can drive down a mountainous country road with your eyes closed, at night, and not have an accident?! What was her supposed artist friend doing, channeling the Star Wars “Force”?!!!

Honesty compassion intelligence guts.
No more extortion blackmail bribery division.
Divided we fall.
Could you trust Kucinich to actually be willing to drop a nuke on an inhabited city if necessary?
Kucinich was a not so great Mayor and he’s been an outspoken Congressman on many issues.
He is in favor of Universal Health care(I’m not), gay right’s(including marriage) (I am too), leaving Iraq immediatly(me too), stopping members of congress from taking lobbiest’s jobs for 3 years after they leave office(me too), legalisation of marijuana, medical and recreational(me too), increasing NASA’s budget(me to), stop ear marking by congressperson’s(me too), working diplomatically to get Iran to stop making nukes(me too), and on and on.
There are other issues I don’t agree with him on, like illegal’s and China, but as I’ve discovered, he and I would be good friends if we met in a bar.
I”m very seriously thinking of voting for him in the California primary.
