Probably not -- 'boy wonder' in the 70s, mayor of Cleveland(?) while in his late 20s / early 30s. Then Things Didn't Go Well... hounded by the old guard -- lost re-election (or did he even run?)

Dropped outta sight for awhile. Elected to US House of Reps for a few terms, now.

and Oh Yeah, the funny name.

DENNIS KUCINICH: THE PROGRESSIVE CHOICE
"As a candidate for President, I offer a different vision for America, one which separates me from the other candidates. I am the only candidate for President who will take this country away from fear and war and tax giveaways, and use America's peace dividend for guaranteed health care for all, ending health care for profit. I am the only candidate who will stop the privatization of social security and bring the retirement age back to 65."

GOP forces debate on Cheney impeachment
By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer
Tue Nov 6, 4:21 PM ET



WASHINGTON - House Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on a resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney on the grounds he purposely led the country into war against Iraq.

The GOP tactics reversed what had been expected to an overwhelming vote to table, or kill, the resolution by longshot Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.

Midway through the vote, with instructions from the GOP leadership, Republicans one by one changed their votes from yes — to kill the resolution — to no, trying to force the chamber into a debate and an up-or-down vote on the proposal.

At one point there were 290 votes to table. After the turnaround, the final vote was 251-162 against tabling, with 165 Republicans voting against it.

"We're going to help them out, to explain themselves," said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas. "We're going to give them their day in court."

Kucinich, an anti-war Democrat from Ohio, has long pushed for a vote to impeach Cheney, but has failed to win the backing of the Democratic leadership. After Kucinich introduced the resolution, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., immediately moved to table it.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "has said that impeachment is off the table and that the new direction Congress is focused on responsibly and honorably redeploying our troops out of Iraq, covering 10 million uninsured children and meeting our national priorities long neglected by the Bush Administration," said her spokesman Nadeam Elshami.

Kooky Kosmic Kucinich's Broadside At Cheney Is Kicked

By Elizabeth Williamson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, November 7, 2007; A19



On a day intended for moving long-overdue annual spending bills, the House instead spent a good chunk of yesterday wrangling over an entirely different endeavor: a motion to impeach Vice President Cheney.

For more than six months, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), a long-shot presidential candidate, has labored to bring to a vote his plan to send the vice president packing. Kucinich says Cheney lied to Americans in the run-up to the Iraq war, chiefly about evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

But yesterday, the antiwar liberal's seemingly quixotic effort drew unexpected support from Republicans, who saw a golden opportunity to engage Democrats in a debate on the issue.

Kucinich's rambling, 18-page resolution bristles with citations of Cheney's public comments justifying the war. "The best option to prevent an unnecessary war with Iran," he said, "is to impeach the Vice President, the lead cheerleader of the war" in Iraq.

"The Constitution has been under attack by this administration," Kucinich told an reporter during the vote, and his effort is "part of a growing movement" to defend it.

"This isn't about my campaign," he said. "This isn't a Democratic-Republican issue."

But it became a partisan issue yesterday once Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) moved to table Kucinich's resolution. Hoyer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have said they will not back such symbolic gestures, for fear of burnishing Congress's current do-nothing image.

During the subsequent vote, Republicans were far along toward helping kill the resolution when they began switching their "yes" votes to "no's," clearly hoping for a public debate that would have showcased the Democrats' most vocal lefties.

But in the end, Hoyer settled for sending the resolution to the Judiciary Committee. There it is destined for oblivion.

Cheney has not come under such direct legislative attack since June, when Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) pushed to cut funding for Cheney's office and residence, even his lawn service. But Emanuel's proposal was tongue-in-cheek, whereas Kucinich's resolution, as he said, was "urgent."

I think the guy is a little off and would never vote for him, but I don't get the whole UFO uproar, if you want to call it that. I suppose if someone believes UFO = flying saucer they would think he's a nut, but UFO stands for nothing more than Unidentified Flying Object---you know, an object that was flying that you couldn't identify. I've seen a few myself.


FLILF....too funny!

I find it curious that the most strident conservatives will not vote for Alan Keyes, the most conservative of all Republican candidates, but will instead vote for Republicans who endorse plans that they would have once considered socialist -- and who now bemoan and ridicule the Democrats socialist policies.

Flynt gets behind Dennis Kucinich

November 19, 1:17 AM

La-La Land

While porn mogul Larry Flynt says he's still about to blow the lid off a couple of more sex scandals involving Republicans, he's lining up behind his horse in the Democratic field.

Flynt was one of the co-hosts of a fundraiser for liberal candidate Dennis Kucinich at the headquarters of his company, Hustler-LFP, in Los Angeles.

Flynt, an Ohio native like Kucinich, told the adult-industry Web site Xbiz.com, "I support Dennis Kucinich because not only have I been a friend of his for 40 years, but I believe he offers an essential, viable and exciting option to the candidates that are more popular at the moment."

According to Xbiz.com, other hosts included Woody Harrelson, who played Flynt on the silver screen, Ed Norton, Sean and Robin Wright Penn, Frances Fisher, Stephen Stills and Melissa Etheridge.

A Kucinich spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
