*CAN ELIZABETH STILL RUN?:* Burdened hobbit Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the presidential race, presumably to spend more time with his elfin queen Elizabeth. We’ll miss you, Elizabeth! [Cleveland Plain Dealer]

Dennis Kucinich Will Single-Handedly Impeach Bush

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Welcome President Pelosi A few years back, everybody was all, “Let’s impeach Bush & Cheney & Rumsfeld and try them for war crimes and execute them by firing squad, on Pay Per View.” And then our nation sort of got over it — what administration doesn’t launch a bunch of illegal wars — because the Democrats won Congress and the economy collapsed and now Americans are basically just looking around nervously for food and shelter, maybe under that bridge.

Well the good times are back: Dennis Kucinich is going to impeach George W. Bush on Monday! MORE »

DREAMS COME TRUE:
If you’ve been wondering what the debate maybe would’ve been like if the Highest Court in Nevada hadn’t barred the dangerous Dennis Kucinich from taking part, wonder no more. Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman has made some fantasy-baseball version where Dennis really did take part! [Democracy Now]

Hillary, John & Barry Put Vegas To Sleep

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008


That was sure worth getting up before dawn and making a five-hour drive to Las Vegas! Thanks, Democrats. Our coverage for the night is just about over, but we’ll have much more Campaign Trail Fun all over Las Vegas on Wednesday, which is basically today. There will be events, and perhaps a rally of some kind! All in the cause of giving Americans a “safety valve” so they can “blow off steam” by voting for pretty much identical elitist candidates. Anyway, here’s a recap of Wonkette’s Tuesday in Nevada, plus more pictures, if you want them. MORE »

This Debate Will Never Start

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008


Here is the scene: There are many, many, many filing tables. About a third of the chairs are occupied. There are flat screen monitors on stands, and they’re all playing this SAME GODDAMNED 5-MINUTE LOOP ABOUT HOW NEVADA IS SO AWESOME IF YOU ARE A MEXICAN WHO MOVED HERE. Or a Cuban. Harry Reid does the intro. I have seen this at least a dozen times and have no doubt I’ll see it another dozen times before the debate finally begins. MORE »

Evil Nevada Supreme Court Backs Fascist MSNBC: Kucinich Is Out Again!

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

What have they done to Dennis now? The happy little candidate was kicked out of tonight’s debate for no good reason, and then he went to court to get back in, and then MSNBC went to the state supreme court and just got him re-kicked out. Jesus, what did Kucinich to do anybody? We will seek him out, by looking for his very tall, hot wife. And then we’ll ask him how he feels or whatever.

The Kuciniches Will Always Have a Home Here

kucinuches.jpgNBC’s appeal to keep Dennis Kucinich out of tonight’s MSNBC debate in Vegas was set for a 4:30 ET hearing in Nevada’s Supreme Court (the majors!). Word should come out shortly whether our favorite hobbit makes the grade or not. Also, Liz “Polaroid” Glover did not go with Ken to Vegas. This is just a leftover from New Hampshire, and THEN THAT’S IT. [The Caucus]

NBC Ordered To Allow Sweet Dennis

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

OOPS, bad cropDennis Kucinich’s lawsuit to get into tonight’s Democratic debate from Vegas actually worked. A judge ordered that NBC must include him in the debate. It makes sense, since he and John Edwards ultimately have the same chances of winning the nomination.

UPDATE: NBC News “will appeal a judge’s ruling rather than include Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich in a candidates’ debate in Nevada.” So mean! [Las Vegas Now]


DENNIS KUCINICH

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Give the man a hug, NBCNBC today disinvited Kucinich from the upcoming Nevada debate, after having issued him an invitation on Wednesday. See, they’d tried to make the original criteria stringent enough to keep him out (the way that ABC did), but then they didn’t succeed the first time, so they changed the criteria. Dennis is, understandably miffed and may sue. Luckily, he has a special lady friend back home in Ohio to comfort him and he didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell regardless. [The Hill]

  • Bill Richardson, we knew him well. [Washington Post]

  • Dennis wants a recount. He knows something’s up. [AP]
  • You might mistake this endorsement as a bunch of nostalgic has-beens grasping for relevance, but that would be incorrect, so we’re told.[Washington Times]

Another Man Tries to Give Liz Sausage

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

You totally know why they're smilingDennis and Elizabeth Kucinich have been working really hard to promote his big bid for the Presidency — so hard, in fact, that Dennis has attracted 4 primary challengers for his Congressional reelection campaign. One of them, Joe Cimperman, is apparently after more than just Kucinich’s Congressional seat. On Tuesday night, Cimperman visited the Kuciniches’ home armed with cameras and a basket of sausages. He found only the lovely Elizabeth, who bid him a swift adieu. Silly boy! To think that the lovely maiden’s heart could be won with amateur porn and floppity phalli! The woman has refused to show off her tongue ring and obviously already has all the meat she can handle. [Cleveland Plain Dealer]
