Since Her Husband

is too chickenshit to make another Reno appearance, Elizabeth Kucinich will make an appearance instead at UNR tomorrow night at 7.

His biggest supporter gives him a big round of applause.



He swears to tell the truth about what he would do as president.



Elizabeth likes what her husband is saying here.





The candidate makes the case for single-payer insurance.




It's time to get a close-up of Dennis Kucinich.





I told you Elizabeth was nuts about him.




It was a pleasant surprise to see Elizabeth there with him.





It was a packed house at the convention center. It was held in rooms D9 and D10, with a folding wall in between. More than a few people there were from California.




Some pictures of the Kucinich event of today at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. His campaign slogan is "Strength Through Peace."

I Really Hope

I recorded the Kucinich speech in Reno today, but it's a possibility I screwed up with my new camcorder. I will have to investigate.

Anyway, considering it was shitty outside, Kucinich drew quite a crowd at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, and, as an added bonus, his far-younger wife Elizabeth showed up as well. She was in town during the morning attending a "mockus" or two in preparation for the January 19 caucus. Yes, she is very pretty and seems to be nice, and probably too good for him. It makes one wonder why somebody with so much going for her would hitch up to an old coot like that. But seeing her there, she was clearly nuts about him. She sat on the stage where he was, and she was looking up at him with that look that reminded me of Nancy Reagan looking at Ronnie. She also had a nice wedding ring on, and I don't recall the stone she was wearing, some kind of birthstone, I believe. It was a good-sized one.

As for the old man, he looks far better in person than on television. I don't know what it is about television that makes people look so bad, but it does. It distorts something awful. The Kooch is only slightly taller than I am, and his wife is around six feet, around Michelle Obama's height, and a full head taller than the Kooch.

Kooch talked about Iraq and mostly about health care and how his plan was better than the other candidates. He answered a few questions from the audience, including one from a person sitting next to me about civil unions. Unfortunately, after he was done he didn't stick around too long because he and Elizabeth were going to do a radio interview with KJFK radio in Reno. However, I was lucky enough to get his autograph. He signs his autograph simply "Dennis" with what looks like an exclamation point at the end. I was one of the very lucky few who received an autograph and shook his hand. He has a good grip, especially for a vegan.

The Washington Post

decides to profile Dennis Kucinich and his child bride.

Kucinich, as people should know, is finally getting a challenger in the Democratic primary for his congressional seat.

I hope he gets beat. He hasn't much to show for all of the years he's been in Congress. Oh, sure, he introduces all kinds of bills to impress his base, but he hasn't gotten anything accomplished.

If and when he loses re-election, he'll always have Elizabeth--maybe.

Campaign Notes.

Birds of a feather...

Nutcases both.

Here's the video:

Presidential Notes.

No-shot Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich has a six-foot-tall secret weapon.

Reading blogs and discussion boards, I have to laugh at the double standard. Possible Republican candidates Newt Gingrich and Fred Thompson are vilified for having far-younger wives, yet Kucinich is given a free pass.

Actually, this May-December crap, which might be appealing especially for young women, isn't so appealing to older women. A guy who marries a far younger woman and even has kids with her has some maturity issues, to say nothing about selfishness. What woman would go around with an old guy, waste all of her youth on him, and then, when he croaks, there aren't men out there anywhere near her age to grow old with?

When I was young, I didn't think it was any big deal to run around with far older men, but now the thought of it is appalling.

Governor Richardson has made it official.

I thought Elizabeth Harper Kucinich was 31 and not 29.

Jesus, what in the hell was he thinking? A woman more than half his age, almost twice as tall, and with a tongue stud to boot.

Both of them are New Age nutballs, so I suppose they deserve each other.
