Let me guess -- this is the beginning of the foundation for making the case that it's OK for Fred Thompson to have a glamourous young second wife should he start parading her around campaign events in his presidential bid.

You may be earning money from WAPO but it's pretty clear who you're actually working for.

Will quit reading you from this point forward. Worthless waste of time.

Anti-Sleuth, it's pretty clear you are a moron.

Dennis Kucinich doesn't have a prayer of getting elected, or even nominated, but he is truly blessed. Because of his diet, which BTW does more to reduce greenhouse gases than driving a Prius, he is by far, the healthiest candidate (Obama should be, but he's a smoker). And he has the hottest looking wife. What more can a man ask for?
Mary Ann is posting a lot of stories about marriages lately. Is she married or engaged? She must be, surely some neo-con K Street lobbyist has swept her off her feet by now.

Hey, why relegate Kucinich to the "second tier"? Isn't it almost a year until the first primaries? It's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you and the other reporters continue to do this!

Kucinich has views consistent with much of the American people about Iraq (out ASAP), health care (true universal CARE -- not INSURANCE -- for everyone), and other issues.

I know I mean why help him out that much? He is probably third maybe fourth tier at best.

I agree with the poster above who stated Kucinich's views are consistent with majority. Not only has he been right on Iraq, the majority are with him on stopping a war in Iran, providing universal single payer health care, providing paper ballots instead of electronic voting, ending the patriot act, ending the drug war, stopping NAFTA etc.

The Corporate media still believes they can control our elections but they have lost their credibility due to their blind support of Bush and his policies which have destroyed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, subverted our Constitution and ruined our reputation throughout the world.

Has anyone studied whether the methane saved by vegans who don't eat meat is more or less than the methane emitted daily by the vegans? I mean, how many vegans does it take to cancel out one cow. And if you had a roomful of vegans feasting on a vegetarian smorgasbord, what kind of greenhouse gases are you getting in there, eh?

His British wife doesn't do much for me -- I would not date her. I would date Mary Ann, though.

Kucinich has my vote; this marriage shows he's clearly an underdog who can win what he wants and can work anything out.

Dennis the Menace has about as much credibility as Lyndon LaRouche, but is more paranoid. Anybody who thinks his views represent the majority is hallucinatory. The majority of communists, socialists, Marxists, Leninists, and every other Left Wing nutty-ist maybe, but only a repressive, controlling Fidel Castro wanna be would think K the Kook has views that are anywhere close to mainstream.

Go for it dude, I'm sure Mary Ann would be wild about Harry.
BTW The reason why meat eating is so brutally hard on the environment isn't because of cow farts, it's because of the amount of energy required to produce it. Then you have the problem of waste disposal, added soil erosion, and all of that extra water usage. Look for a livestock killing drought in Texas and Oklahoma this summer.
But don't worry about that, meat eaters, especially rightwing trolls are way cooler than vegans, that is until you have your heart attacks or get colon cancer. I doubt Mary Ann will be interested in changing your bed pan.

I thought Kucinich was elected to Congress. Doesn't that mean he has more credibility than Lyndon LaRouche? Also LaRouche is a rightwing kook, just like a lot of the trolls that post here.

I take my vote back. What is he, crazy? First lady can't be a foreigner and therefore he cannot win. Reminds me of that curmudgeon Phil Gramm running for the 1996 Republican nomination with his (ethnically) Korean wife.

Kucinich was the only presidential candidate to speak at the Peace Marches. He is the only candidate that was against the war before the war. He is the only candidate that is against any funding of the war. Kucinich has bigger balls than all of the other candidates put together. No wonder he was able to attrack an attractive wife half his age. If the MSM doesnt like him, and the ReTHUGlicans always throw mud at him, then he must be a good candidate!

Kucinich is a laugh a minute... a recent Kucinich headline on http://www.solidpolitics.com are "Kucinich Attacks Himself"... and many more...

Hmm, I wonder; if someone you love is maimed for life or dies in Iraq, which kind of candidate will you want to vote for: 1) an idiot Republican, who supported Bush and the drive to war with Iraq from the beginning, 2) a spineless Democrat, who voted to allow Bush (a mentally definicient warmonger) to go to war whenever he wanted, or 3) Dennis Kucinich, who knew exactly what was going on the whole time, and did everything he could to stop our country from making this gruesomely bloody, horrifically expensive, and plainly tragic mistake? If you answered "1" or "2", you are a selfish mutt. Additionally, to those who think Kucinich is a "kook", or who don't think someone like Kucinich is "electable", I greet you in your own language: Baaaaaaaaaaaaa. Try to remember, little sheepies, that Kucinich has been elected to Congress five times now in a district that, before Kucinich won in 1997, had returned Republicans since 1966. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Could you please explain to me why you felt the need to make reference to Kucinich's height? I mean, it seems to me, that with people dying in Iraq, it might be a little more important to mention that he is the only candidate who has consistently voted against funding the war than to mock him for being short.

Who cares about his so-called young and beautiful wife. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she looks ugly to me. He can never win.

Hmm...on my first day here in Bangladesh and already the sun is getting to me. I saw the head about pretty young wife with the picture of Ms Akers and I thought hmm...well, yeah ok, I can go along with that. In fact the more I looked the more I am thinking yeah, this Kucinich has a HOT wife. Then I turn to the article and find out he is married to a writer at the post. NO wait a minute, it is some prom girl or something. oh forget it.

As long as our press and citizens continue to measure politicans by their spouse, the future of our political process, government and people are doomed. For cyring out loud, cover the issues, the candidate's position & platform - not their spouse. Grow up America - not only is this type of press determinental to the county, it is demeaning to women. I say that because most of this type of press deals with the "wife." Look at the postings of your readers. - Snap out of it!

The buck stops with you. SO DO IT AS_SHOLE. AND DONT WAIT ONE MINUTE LONGER. YOU KNOW WHO ARE DEAR TO YOUR BELOVED PREZ !!! WHEN YOU DONT YOU WILL GET NUKED, SO TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT COWARD. I KNOW YOU ARE THERE AND I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. THEN GET ON THE WAY FOR THE SAKE OF YOURSELF AND THE NATION !!! NOWWWW !!!!

She's hot. Dennis must be hung like a horse.

I just wanted to mention that the video was not about getting the vote out. Elizabeth was informing everyone (where the Corporate media has failed again) that the Congress just appropriated almost $300 billion more for the war in Iraq through 2009.

The same CONgress that is pretending they are ending the war on Iraq.

Elizabeth is a beautiful person both inside and out, and many of these comments are obvious paid disinformationalists(I have seen the exact same comments on other articles) attempting to discredit Dennis and Elizabeth. Well the truth is, if you all truly believed he had no chance...you wouldn't go around to all the message boards posting this crap.

more hyperbole and rhetoric, this is what america needs. *boy wonder dennis kucinich leads the first american city, cleveland, into default*. sounds like our kind of guy. *** dennis kucinich is not what america needs. dennis has a mouth and not a means.

A certifiable and irresponsible whack job who is also a dirty old man and would run this country right into the ground. He makes his bones by toadying to a radical left that wants everything but refuses to pay for it.

Sounds like he's a left-handed version of George Bush. The only difference is Bush uses his right hand when he wipes himself with the Constitution and he makes his bones from the heads of his decisions. So that's why Bush was allowed to join the Skull and Bones.

Nadia, what universe do you dwell in that you should say in your first post "The Corporate meda ... have lost their credibility due to their blind support of Bush and his policies". Are you saying the major TV network newsies, the Post, NY & LA Times, Al Jazeera Constitution (Atlanta Journal Constitution) etal are not corporate media? They sure as hell don't support Bush and his policies. You must be from outer space, illiterate, or unable to understand what is written or spoken in the media if you really believe what you said.

BTW sobastard. The environmental damage from manufacturing and eventually disposing of a Prius more than makes up for its reduced emissions.

Because of his diet, which BTW does more to reduce greenhouse gases than driving a Prius

I'm afraid you missed my point entirely. I wasn't recommending that people buy a new Prius, I was advocating a vegan diet.
You are also wrong about the media, especially television and radio, not promoting the Republican agenda. Even in print journalism and on the internet, the rightwing message is more prominent. Don't you even read Mary Ann's blogs?

sobastard,
Nadia referred to the "Corporate media". Get with it.

Huh! I pointed out that what you call corporate media, including The Washington Post, supports Bush and his policies, or at least they did until they discovered most Americans don't. Please read Mr. Kagan's most recent column.

Kucinich is for real! The main reason the Corporate Media does not support him is the fact that he forgoes corporate money. He can't be bought!

This excerpt from Jane Stillwell's website refutes R Man's assertion that the corporate media doesn't support Bush and his policy.

"The big deal is that Michael Ware was trashed by the right-wingers. He got swift-boated. He got Howard-Deaned. And now it looks like CNN is refusing to go up against the swift-boaters and is backing down - and that includes not having you on their show, especially since you were the one who had actually asked McCain a question." So I lose my 15 minutes of fame because Ware got swift-boated and CNN got scared? That's so unfair! And I was all set to warn a worried nation about the Kevlar crisis too!"

"They sure as hell don't support Bush and his policies"

In the lead up to Iraq, which of the Corporate media exposed that Bush's 'evidence' was non-existent? Who exposed that 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq? How about the illegal spying on the UN before the vote? Who reported on the fact that Bush said Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors in proving the guy wasn't even paying attention or was lying deliberately? What about the ridiculous Niger forgery that was so laughable no one believed it? Did they try to stop the war in Iraq by exposing Bush or did they enable him?

Now let' take a look at Iran. Is the media playing along with Bush on Iran's 'weapons' being a threat, or are they exposing that all evidence points to Iran not having nukes for 10+ years?

Good points R Man, you've made a solid case, that for the most part, the print media has been doing it's job properly. I don't think radio and T.V. have been as dutiful. And I inferred from your original comment that you believe the media has a liberal bias. I'm not buying that one.
I don't read the Atlantic Journal Constitution, but I consider The N.Y. Times, The L.A. Times, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post to be politically neutral in their reporting. I belive The Washington Times, The N.Y. Post, all other Murdoch owned papers, and Gannett papers slant their reporting and editorials to the right.
Talk radio is almost entirely hard rightwing propaganda. Television is for the most part tilted to the right with a few notable exceptions. One must also keep in mind that there is sometimes a difference between Conservatives and knee-jerk Bush supporters. I overuse the word rightwinger in my posts, because they aren't true Conservatives.

SOB, you are not as smart as you think you are. You are also spending way too much time trying to convince the rest of us.

BTW I stand a better chance of getting a date with Mary Ann than you.

I agree on all points.

Last time I read the US Constitution, there isn't a single word in it mentioning that a First Lady must be a US-born citizen. It is mentioned in the requirements for being President, that and being over age 35.

If I remember correctly, John Kerry's wife wasn't born in the US and he was the Democratic nominee. I wish THAT were the real reason he lost the electon...

Having a new pride at his age does not do any good for Kucinich. What we want to see is sound political ideology!

Way to go Dennis, we all thought you were a homo, but boy were we wrong!

Don't forget that Jimmy Norton will be at Carolines May 10-14.

O and A party rock!
