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?
he’s a gd freak.
Kucinich, Paul and Gravel might as well pack it in and go home.
The chances of them getting anywhere is as good as the Osama bin Laden being picked as Romey’s VP.

Why would it change my opinion about him? I see unidentified flying objects every day of my life. Generically, they’re called birds but usually I don’t know their species and therefore I can’t identify them.
I’d never paid any attention to Kucinich at all prior to this (except to note that he has a hot wife). Since this incident I’ve heard him interviewed (on Fox, no less), and he sounds extremely reasonable and well-spoken. It may turn out to be the old saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” proving itself true, though I still don’t think he has a hope in hell of getting the nomination.
#3 – Did you feel a connection to your heart and hear directions in your mind?
hmm if he got elected he just might declassify some UFO information just to prove he isnt crazy…i’m voting for him!
Drop out for saying he saw a UFO? You can’t even get elected in this country unless you confirm your “sacred” belief in an imaginary daddy in the sky for Pete’s sake. At least what Kucinich saw something that has a chance of being real!
And while we’re at it, while I have my disagreements with him, he is the only one in Congress doing his job in that he introduced impeachment charges against the current regime.
Drop out? When you are in Kucinich’s (or Gravel’s or Ron Paul’s) shoes, there’s no such thing as bad publicity!
Kucinich is the only decent candidate running.
He used to be homeless…who better to help our millions of homeless americans?
He is the only candidate that will end the war in Iraq and resolve our international differences with DIPLOMACY and PEACE, rather then the moronic, retarded idea that you can win peace through war.
He’s the only legalization candidate that will stand up for your rights when the pigs want to take your home and send you to prison for 20 years for owning a plant.
And finally, he’s the only one who’s bothering to answer these stupid questions honestly.
What more can you want in a leader? Honor, truth, empathy and he’s definately got guts.. considering what you losers say about him, he’s STILL IN IT…
suck it. you guys deserve cheney for 8 more years.
UFO means UN-IDENTIFIED… duh… meaning he doesn’t know what it was, but that he saw something.
Why is this news ?
he saw something he could not explain, so what
The guy sees something and doesn’t know what it is. He made no claim, as far as I know, what the object must have been.
On the other hand, we have someone currently sitting in the White House who claims to have had a conversation with someone named “God”, an imaginary guy in the sky type dude.
Who would you prefer for President?
11. Personally, I have no problem with his position.
Hell, I once saw a UFO along with 5 other people.
It was a bright point of light moving right to left very fast, and below the horizon.
We all saw it, but have no idea what it was, far too fast for a ground vehicle and too low for an aircraft. We estimated that it was 5 to 7 miles away. It appeared, already moving, then disappeared again.
Admitting to seeing a UFO should not disqualify a candidate unless he’s seeing little green men dancing around or something like that with no other witnesses.
Having his wife as first lady would do wonders for the morale of the country.
I saw Kucinich speak back in about ’97 at a labor rally, this guy is no idiot, he is also not a nut job. What he is, is a political outsider, and the “powers that be” (even spookier than little green men because it’s real) will never allow us (we the people) to elect somebody they don’t own.
P.S. In case nobody has mentioned it, his wife is a Honey! 🙂
George Sr. saw a “thousand points of light”.
The big problem is he was at Shirley MacLaine’s house.

Uh…did it escape everyone’s attention that most of our candidates openly believe a giant invisible man in watching them from the sky, that people come back from th dead, that evolution is myth and the universe is 4000 years old? Hell, the current prez even believes that this higher power talks to him personally! I think I’m ready for aliens to be least of a candidates controversial beliefs….
#13 If it was below the horizon just how did you see it?
#16 I loves me them tall red heads.
He’s got a hot wife – what about you all?
Kucinich is looking like the best candidate to me. He probably saw another of our military “black” projects.

“Did you feel a connection to your heart and hear directions in your mind?”
Yep. I love Gaea and pay constant, close attention to everything she tells me – so I don’t accidentally get eaten by bears.
#20
We were on higher gound looking down into a shallow bowl shaped valley, so the object was below the horizon from our point of view.
>>The chances of them getting anywhere is as good as
>>the Osama bin Laden being picked as Romey’s VP.
10 years ago, who’da thunk we would “elect” (using the term loosely) a chimpanzee as president, and then “elect” (loose use, again) him yet again.
Kucinich is too good to fill the fetid vinyl loafers of the Chimperor in Chief, so it’s unlikley he will be elected. Hope springs eternal, though.
You know, I’ve taken a couple of those online surveys that tell you which candidate is most aligned with you; and of course Kucinich was my closest match. But it shows you how flawed those things are because they never take into account the nutjob factor; this guy is just completely foreign to the average american. Four years ago when he was running for something I actually cut and pasted the following stuff from Kucinich that appeared in Slate or something because I wanted it to show my friends who might contemplate voting for the guy for something–anything–what a goofball he is. Tell me if you don’t agree:
Quote: “The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite, and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy. From one source, endless creative energy, bursting forth, kinetic, elemental. We, the earth, air, water, and fire source of nearly 15 billion years of cosmic spiraling” (remarks to Praxis Peace Institute, June 9, 2002).
Quote: “In that moment I had a new understanding that this flag, as spangled with stars as a bolt of heaven itself, connects the United States with eternal principles of unity, of brotherhood, of sisterhood. … One bright star shines for hope. Another star for optimism. Another for well-being. One for freedom. One for abundance. One for creativity. One for togetherness. One for peace. One star to wish upon to create your highest aspirations, to make your dreams come true” (remarks at Redwood Sequoia Conference, Sept. 14, 2002).
Quote: “(Singing Softly) O, say can you see
O, Canada! glorious and free!
(Speaking) O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
(Singing) O, Canada!
(Speaking) We stand on guard for thee
(Slowly and Quietly) O, Canada, we stand on guard for thee”
(remarks at Conference on Unity, Sovereignty, and Prosperity, Nov. 30, 2002).
Quote: “We’re asking our countries’ leaders to understand that the world is undivided. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to see the world as an interconnected whole. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to take a holistic view of the world and to allow the globe, the sphere of the Earth herself, to exist free from an assault from space” (remarks in Malibu, Calif., Feb. 23, 2002).
Charge: Kucinich is “at risk of being tagged the ‘Moonbeam Congressman’ ” (Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 10, 2003).
Context: According to the Associated Press and the Plain Dealer, Shirley MacLaine is the godmother to Kucinich’s daughter. She introduced Kucinich to Chris Griscom, who has become a “spiritual adviser” to Kucinich. Griscom, who reportedly helped MacLaine “communicate with trees,” has founded two institutes “to teach people how to connect with their inner [selves], partially by helping them to remember their past lives.” Carol Rosin, another Kucinich friend and supporter, “helped arrange to send the cremated remains of her friend LSD guru Timothy Leary into space.”
Defense: It’s unclear how any of this bears on what Kucinich would do as president. Kucinich told the AP, “People want someone who understands and has a higher concept of where our country is going.”
No offense… but this blog discussion is an example of what’s wrong with American politics.
The GOP (or maybe even Dem political operatives) seed this story into the media and once again, we have a few news cycles talking about nothing that really matters.
#27 come on, his wife is hot, that’s what matters. And she has a tongue stud. She was being interviewed on one of the morning news shows. The reporter asked her if she would show it. She said no and Kucinich said that was only for him to see. Can it be worse than what we have.
#28 – Now to be fair, duhbya has a head stud. Its a 2 foot long iron bar that goes through his head from ear to ear and is attached to Cheney’s nipple rings by a leather thong.
I’m always amused when ET’s see it necessary to light up their space ships at night.
Which reminds me of the ET’s in “Close Encounter of the Third Kind” needing to communicate by way of a few musical notes in spite of their incredible technological advantage and a few dozen captured humans on board their ship for decades.
26 Richard. I hate to be the one to break the news to you but you and I are the remnants of star stuff and will be again. You & I were once squished together in a space smaller than the head of a pin, and still you won’t do anything about your bad breath.
