CLAWSON, Mich -- The law of unintended consequences has thrown the book at Dennis Kucinich and sentenced him to 15 minutes of fame.
How else to explain how a single-digit candidate, ignored by the news media, dismissed as marginal by opponents and dropped from a televised debate, tries unsuccessfully to pull out of this state's abortive Democratic primary and, instead, ends up as queen of a broken prom?
Quick history: Mr. Kucinich, a Democratic congressman from Cleveland best known for his hardline opposition to the Iraq War, front line promotion of national health insurance and his sometimes exotic views on everything from spirituality to UFOs, tried to drop out.

Looky here!
A moonbat and a fruitcake rolled up into a tinfoil burrito!
He also believed in the sanctity of life until he went national. Now all unborn children are obligate parasites and blobs of tissue right up to the shoving of a scissors into the back of their skull before their brains get sucked out.
He is absolute trash. Can’t imagine that the Republicans can’t find someone (ANYONE) in the little gnome’s district to run him out of a job and make him work for a living.
Outrageous! This is clearly a sordid attempt to kill the tremendous Kucinich momentum that is building throughout the country. I can feel my cabinet post slipping away.
So when are the primaries on Alpha Centauri, anyway?

So how ws it everyone managed to get their names of the ballot BUT Hillary (and the Kook)?
Her machine can’t manage it? or hypocrit through and through?
