The DUmmies are in a state of depression. On the heels of the Max Baucus bipartisan Senate bill (bipartisan in that BOTH Democrats and Republicans hate it) a glum Dennis Kucinich is predicting DOOM for any ObamaCare bill containing a public option as you can see in this THREAD, "Kucinich has a diary up at Daily Kos predicting doom for the public option."A side note here before we proceed further. A certain WILLIAMS RIVERS PITT served briefly as the press secretary for Dennis Kucinich in early 2004. Yes, Will finally had a REAL JOB in the world of politics...

Seven House Democrats have written Attorney General Eric Holder invoking a list of grievances from radical Islamist groups and asking that Holder meet with representatives from those groups to hear their concerns, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned. The grievances include the use of convicted felons as informants in mosques, alleged religious profiling of Somali Muslims in Minnesota and elsewhere and allegations that the FBI is working with foreign governments to question American citizens who are terror suspects. In the letter, the representatives said: "These concerns raise legitimate questions about due process, justice, and equal treatment under the law....

Too bad this particular report didn't include an expert that was railing against the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) bailout before it was passed last October. They could have said, "I told you so." Global banks lending money to other countries including "the playground of the Middle East" may have angered Congressmen, but Lisa Myers investigation didn't point out that those critics of how the banks lent money voted for TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) in the first place. In a segment on March 11 "NBC Nightly News," Myers, NBC's senior investigative correspondent, probed into why three particular banks -...

When it comes to marketing, Dennis Kucinich has a lot to be modest about. In the two presidential races he entered, Kucinich went 0-100 in primaries and caucuses, posting a nice round .000 batting average. But while he’s batting well below the Mendoza line when it came to marketing himself in national politics, Dennis Kucinich apparently feels qualified to serve as marketing director for corporate America. The Early Show aired clips this morning of Kucinich going after Citigroup for having purchased the naming rights for the New York Mets new baseball stadium: CitiField. KUCINICH: They just act as though the...

Lets help those yankees

Democrat Congressman calls for Bush impeachment10.06.2008 15:46 GMT+04:00 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Democrat Dennis Kucinich introduced a 35-count resolution to impeach U.S. President George W. Bush, claiming that the president set out to deceive the nation, and violated his oath of office with the Iraq war. Addressing the House of Representatives on Monday evening, the Ohio congressman and former presidential candidate accused the administration of a number of offenses, including lying to Congress and the public about its reasons for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He said Bush "fraudulently" justified the war on Iraq and misled "the American people and members of Congress...

Psst! You wanna know a dirty little secret? Barack Obama is just as kooky as Dennis Kucinich. The only difference between the two besides the fact that Kucinich is a marginalized figure and that Obama is a presumptive presidential nominee is that Kucinich wants to impeach members of the Bush administration for War Crimes while Obama wants to wait until he is president to prosecute officials of the previous administration as war criminals. Huh? You hadn't heard about this? That is because the MSM has covered up that dirty little aspect of the future plans of Mr. Unity. To...

Voters in New Jersey who cast absentee ballots for a candidate who has dropped out of the presidential race can vote again, a judge has ruled. The decision, which was issued on Thursday by Judge Vincent J. Grasso of Superior Court in Ocean County, dealt specifically with the county clerk there but has bearing statewide, according to the attorney general’s office. The ballot for Tuesday’s presidential primary was printed about a month ago, before six of the candidates dropped out of their respective races. Four Democrats — Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, former Senator John Edwards of North...

Brattleboro Town Officials Harassed Over Bush-Cheney Arrest Petition BRATTLEBORO, Vt. -- Town officials in Brattleboro are being inundated with complaints from across the country about a decision to let voters decide whether arrest warrants should be issued for President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Town Clerk Annette Cappy said the "nastiness" of the calls prompted the town office to stop answering its phones Monday. One message from a Minnesota man said he'd like to see terrorists cut off the heads of some Brattleboro officials. Brattleboro police said they will prosecute anyone whose messages cross the line and...

Congressman Dennis Kucinich says he will introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush for deceiving the American nation. The Democrat said Wednesday that he would introduce the articles on January 28, the day US President George W. Bush is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union speech. "We already know the State of the Union," Kucinich said. "It's a lie!" "[The] Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003," the 61-year-old congressman quoted the Center for Public Integrity's...

Another long-shot presidential candidate dropped out of the race on Thursday (January 24), when Dennis Kucinich announced that he was abandoning his bid for the White House. The Democratic congressman from Ohio finished last or next to last in most of the early primaries and caucuses. In an interview with The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kucinich said he would make his official announcement Friday. "I want to continue to serve in Congress," he told the newspaper. Kucinich added that he would not endorse another Democrat in the nomination cycle, even though he had told his Iowa supporters to make Senator Barack...

Talk about a humiliating retraction! Dennis Kucinich called for the impeachment of Bush on the floor of the House yesterday while calling him a liar and soon afterwards is forced to retract himself as you can see in the video above. Evil Elf publicly spanked like a baaaaad boy for all to see! What is really interesting is the DUmmie reaction to the retraction as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Dennis Lays down the Guantlet...The House Quakes and Makes Him Withdraw the 'Offending' remarks!" So let us know watch the DUmmies cheerlead tail between the legs Dennis...

The Candidates are a wonderful suburban family made up of Daddy Thompson, Mommy Hillary, and their school-aged children Edwards, Giuliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Kucinich, McCain, Obama, Paul and Romney. Since the Candidates set a truly commendable example for the average American family, we can only learn from observing one of their typical evenings: Little Obama walks into the kitchen, where Mommy Hillary is busy cooking, Giuliani is playing SimCity on his laptop and Edwards is watching TV. Obama: Mommy can I go play outside with Paul and Kucinich? Mommy Hillary: No honey, it’s almost time for dinner. Besides, I don’t even...

The media hordes are camped out in Iowa in huge numbers to cover the caucus results tonight but they seem to be missing what might really be the most important political story currently in progress. That is the possible defection of Dennis Kucinich later this year to either run as a third party candidate or support such a candidate. I am almost sure this will happen if either Hillary or John Edwards gets the Demo nomination. With Hillary you probably know the reasons. In the case of the Breck Girl it has something to do with a betrayal of...

I won’t go as far as Nathan in actually asking people to vote for Fred Thompson in Iowa, but I will say that I hope they vote for him. While I have a few areas of substantial disagreement with him, I tend to agree with him on Social Security, national security, taxes, budget reform, and the second amendment. To be honest, I like the campaign he’s running. I know I probably won’t get a lot of agreement on that, but let me say it again: I like the campaign that Fred Thompson is running. I like that he has put...

The overriding environmental issue of these times is the warming of the planet. The Democratic hopefuls in the 2008 campaign are fully engaged, calling for large — if still unquantified — national sacrifices and for a transformation in the way the country produces and uses energy. The Republicans do not go much further than conceding that climate change could be a problem and, with the notable exception of John McCain, offer no comprehensive solutions. In 2000, when Al Gore could have made warming a signature issue in his presidential campaign, his advisers persuaded him that it was too complicated and...

MANCHESTER – Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney yesterday agreed to participate in the WMUR/ABC/Facebook presidential debates just three days before the primary Jan. 8. They join fellow Republicans John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson in officially agreeing to the debates scheduled for Jan. 5 at St. Anselm College. The forums begin at 7 p.m. Bartlett said all the major Democratic and Republican candidates’ campaigns have been involved in discussions about the debates. Democratic presidential candidates who have committed to the debates include Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Joseph Biden...

...now have Cynthia McKinney, running for the Green Party Presidential nomination. Marc Cooper is decidedly unimpressed: Here's some news you might use about Barack Obama. Did you know he was, in reality, a government plant, a sort of Manchurian Candidate activated by Big Brother to confuse black people? That’s the political gospel according to the recently self-proclaimed Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney as she launched her national campaign this week from Houston. When asked by someone in the small audience at Texas Southern University about Obama, McKinney responded: “Look at the Colin Powells, the Condoleezza Rices, the Ward Connerlys......

It has been more than a year since the first group of Democratic hopefuls announced their candidacy for President of the United States. Seventeen debates or forums have been staged, and more than $150 million has been spent on advertising, polling and other campaign expenses. Pundits have pronounced their conventional wisdom, so easily reversed, on who is most "electable," "presidential" or "inevitable." Celebrities and surrogates have rung their appeals, and the deforming machinery of electoral money and math has whirled into place. And yet despite all this, something remarkable, almost magical in its resilience, will take place on January 3....

Today, I present my handy guide to choosing a presidential candidate. I call it the Asteroid Test. Imagine this scenario: A mile-wide asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. Scientists say a collision is imminent and that it will obliterate life on the planet. Now ask yourself this: What would each presidential candidate do? (Disregard my own candidacy, which is strictly a Flip Side phenomenon.) Here's how I see some of our presidential hopefuls reacting when I run through the asteroid exercise: • Joe Biden: He would speak at great length on how to solve the crisis. His plan might not work,...

While doing my DUmmie FUnnies edition today, I found out that Dennis Kucinich was excluded from today's debate in Iowa because he didn't have a COMMERCIAL campaign office space, although he does have one in the home of a supporter. The DUmmies actually made a good point out of the fact that Alan Keyes was included in yesterday's Iowa debate despite the probable fact that he has no campaign office in Iowa in a separate commercial space. I would like somebody out there to confirm this about Alan Keyes. If true, then the Des Moines Register will be exposed as...

Nurse Ratched doesn't like you. Watch out! You are in BIG trouble with with the passionless Nurse Ratched. Nurse Ratched wants you to raise your hands to answer the question. You will NOT be permitted to reply in any other way. Those are the rules as set down by Nurse Ratched aka Carolyn Washburn, the editor of the Des Moines Register. Washburn has made herself the most unpopular debate moderator ever with her Nurse Ratched antics which were on full display last night particularly when she demanded that the candidates must ONLY raise their hands in response to a...

It was December 1978, the darkest period in Cleveland history. Just a year earlier, 31-year-old Dennis Kucinich had been elected mayor. Now the city was in bankruptcy. Six hundred jobs had been slashed, including 400 policemen and firefighters. The neighborhood development corporations, once the backbone of Cleveland's renewal, had been drained of their funding. And City Hall had been overrun with an army of novitiates, whose qualifications began and ended with their loyalty to the mayor. The man charged with averting disaster was the city's 24-year-old finance director, whose only work experience was a nine-month stint at Merrill Lynch. The...

There is, in fact, a dime's worth of difference between the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Why, on immigration, the difference can get into real money. The Democratic candidates were sitting around a big table in a radio studio the other day participating in an altogether civil and restrained debate on National Public Radio. There were no rallying supporters in the room to rile partisan passions and agitate competitive energy. The long-form format by which only three topics were discussed, those being Iran, China and immigration, served thoughtfulness over rancor. The moderator asked the hopefuls if they believed they should...

Actor-director Sean Penn issued a nonendorsement endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich on Friday in a speech to nearly 400 San Francisco State University students, urging his audience not to fall into the trap of voting for someone only because they could win. "We've got Iowa coming up; New Hampshire on its ass," said Penn. "Do we sell out for electability?" Penn, who spoke from a low wooden stage in the Creative Arts Building in front of a "Kucinich for President" banner, made it clear from the start that he was not issuing a traditional endorsement, a political tradition...

Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for President, after tipping off news agencies of a major political announcement earlier this week. While his choice of candidate may not suprise many, it should have surprised John Edwards. After all, Penn had already given him twice as many greenback endorsements as Kucinich (via the Political Machine): Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for president in San Francisco Friday. Penn made what had been billed as a "major political statement" at San Francisco State University. Andy Juniewicz, National Press Secretary and senior advisor to Kucinich told NBC11 that Penn made the endorsement...

As a lifelong Democrat, I view with amusement their candidates' debate. My choice would be "none of the above." Regardless of the facts, people tend to believe what they want to believe. All the candidates propose what the people want to hear, rather than concrete proposals. The most realistic candidate is Dennis Kucinich, who witnessed UFOs flying. The problem is he looks as if he flew in on one. Of all the presidential candidates, there is one who stands out. He seems to have more intelligence, leadership qualities and would restore the image of our country to the rest of...

If DUmmieland could elect a President, it would no doubt be Dennis Kucinich. He's the wackiest of the current crop of Dems (with the possible exception of Mike "Potted Plant" Gravel), which naturally makes Kookcinich the Favorite Moonbat of the Reality-Based Community. So now when a new poll shows Kookie SOARING in the polls, it brings hope and elation to deflated DUmmie spirits! Get ready to pop those champagne corks, boys, Denny is ON HIS WAY! That's the optimistic outlook (aka wishful thinking) of this THREAD, "DETERMINED, STEADY KUCINICH QUADRUPLES SUPPORT." Uh, just one thing, though. Kookie's meteoric rise...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful John Edwards inadvertently made the late night comedy shows this year when his campaign spending reports included two $400 haircuts. Now Mrs. Edwards has joined other candidates helping a Concord hair stylist who wants to turn the controversy into help for a good cause. David Holden owns Hair Biz on Main Street, a couple of doors away from an Edwards campaign office. After the Democratic former senator's haircut made news last spring, Holden challenged presidential hopefuls to come in for $400 haircuts of their own, promising to donate all of the proceeds to autism...

TOM TANCREDO: Illegal immigrants. MITT ROMNEY: It's becoming too cold for flip-flops. MIKE HUCKABEE: Splenda. RON PAUL: The Internet. HILLARY CLINTON: A successful question-planting season. JOHN EDWARDS: No after-school detention for being tardy. FRED THOMPSON: The writers' strike. Maybe now somebody will have time to give him something interesting to say. JOE BIDEN: No time limit on Thanksgiving Day toast. JOHN MCCAIN: Not being tied up this holiday. BARACK OBAMA: The Obama girl. CHRIS DODD: A foxy wife. RUDY GIULIANI: November isn’t Gay Pride Month. DENNIS KUCINICH: Wife’s tongue stud.

If you want to know what the Democratic presidential candidates and the Democratic Party believe, the debates, often derided as intellectually inconsequential, reveal a great deal. The problem is that news media almost never report the most important statements the candidates make. Here then are some of those statements from the most recent debate, followed by a comment on their significance. Joseph Biden on how he'd handle Russia: "Who among us is going to pick up the phone and immediately interface with Putin and tell him to lay off Georgia because [Georgian President] Saakashvili is in real trouble?" Sen. Biden...

Once again, it slaps us hard in the face and then holds up a mirror so that we can look at ourselves; and we do, ignoring, of course, the bruising and welts that are forming from being slapped so hard. Once more, our nation must gaze into its collective soul and not, as President Bush once did, gaze into Russian President Vladimir Putin's soul that, as it turned out, is a really dark and terrifying place. No, our nation must gaze into its soul to see what kind of a people we truly are and if we are as open-minded...

They just can't help themselves. Despite the fact that even many on the Left have acknowledged that Kucinich is Wrecking the Dem 2008 Strategy, they just can't keep themselves from marching like Leftwing Lemmings towards the Impeachment Cliff. The embarrassed House leadership sent the Dennis Kucinich resolution to the House Judiciary Committee rather than have open debate on it on the House floor. At first it was thought that the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, would ease Kookcinich's Dick Cheney impeachment resolution into obscurity but now it appears that might not be the case as you...

It looks like the GOP Lucy has pulled the football away from the Democrat Charlie Brown by SUPPORTING loony left Dennis Kucinich in his bid to advance HR 333, his bid to impeach Dick Cheney. In a completely unexpected move that shocked the House Democrat leadership, the Republicans voted pretty much as a block AGAINST tabling the Kookcinich resolution and it now goes to the House Judiciary Committee where Kookcinich's fellow kook, John Conyers, is itching to hold hearings on impeachment. This is a total embarrassment to the House leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer who just wish...

Rep. Ron Paul, the maverick Texas Republican who is running as an anti-war libertarian in the Republican primary, has come charging out of nowhere to become the leading fundraiser in the brief history of the Internet. Yesterday, his campaign reported a one-day take around $3.8 million, with an average donation of $98. In one respect, Paul deserves his success. He is a far more articulate and coherent critic of administration policy in Iraq than any candidate on the Democratic side, speaking as he does the frank and plain language of the isolationist. “The fundamental question remains,” he said in 2004,...

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...

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), a long-shot presidential candidate, plans to force the House to vote this week on whether to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. If he pulls it off, it could make for an uncomfortable situation for Democratic leaders and centrist Democrats. Liberal activists are pushing for impeachment, while leaders worry such a move could turn off independent voters. They have made it clear that impeachment of Cheney or President Bush is off the table. Kucinich says he will offer a privileged resolution on Tuesday requiring House members to vote on what to do with the impeachment measure, which...

Nazi UFO Electromagnetic Propulsion & Antigravity Technology

(WASHINGTON, DC) Astronaut Scott Parazynski did more than perform emergency surgery on a torn solar panel on the International Space Station today. At the end of his spacewalk, almost as an afterthought, he reached out with a 90-foot robotic arm and boom extension, and deftly snagged a strand of twine dangling from a mysterious bundle of space debris. “Yee haw,” was all that earthbound controllers could hear Parazynsky say into his space helmet at that moment. However, Col. Douglas H. Wheelock, giving visual cues to Parazynsky during what officials have termed the most dangerous spacewalk in history, shouted something else:...

While previewing an upcoming interview with extreme left-wing presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, on Friday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Harry Smith remarked, "I've actually admired Dennis Kucinich for a long -- since he was mayor of Cleveland." In addition to Smith admitting that he admired someone as liberal as Kucinich, who wants to establish a Department of Peace and claims to have seen UFOs, Smith specifically mentioned Kucinich’s disastrous tenure as Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. Even The New York Times could not ignore Kucinich’s failures as mayor in a 2003 candidate profile: " But it all came crashing quickly down when...

Hillary Clinton’s top advisers charge that the presidential candidate was unfairly targeted by moderator Tim Russert during Tuesday night’s Democratic debate in Philadelphia. Russert asked Clinton a number of tough questions during the MSNBC-sponsored debate, including one on Social Security and another on the release of documents from the Bill Clinton administration, as she sought to fend off attacks from her Democratic rivals. Mark Penn, Clinton’s senior strategist, said: “Russert made it appear that President Clinton had done something new or unusual� in regard to the release of documents. “I think there will be further clarification.� Penn and Jonathan Mantz,...

Hey everyone, I was trying to listen to Ramon Raquello and his orchestra and there was some news bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News about a professor named Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory in Chicago (how can there be a "Mount" anything in Chicago?). He reported several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity.

What's a good-looking young girl like you doing with a weird old guy like him? And what's up with the tongue-ring? Norah O'Donnell all but asked the first question of Elizabeth Kucinich this afternoon, and did ask the second one. View video here.

And yet another DUFU edition in which I supplement the regular text DUFU with the embedded video which you can see below. A big shout out here to Freeper michigander who supplied me with this new video edition Li'l Beaver which I will be sure to use frequently in the future. Well, impeachment fever has struck the DUmmies (and KOmmies) again even though it is politically TOO LATE to even try to attempt it. Let's see, Dennis the Menace introduces impeachment late in November and even if everything goes right (which it won't) the earliest you can start impeachment...

At a presidential campaign appearance last Sunday in California, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich said he's considering introducing a new impeachment resolution against President Bush in light of statements the president has made that Kucinich interprets as a prelude to war with Iran. "This is not a funny thing I am about to say, and I want you to just be with me on it," Kucinich told an audience in Sierra Madre. "It's not funny at all. There's questions about his stability. Because, if he begins to talk openly about World War Three, I don't think anyone in their right...

As many of you already know, the DUmmie FUnnies is now attempting to become a finalist in the 2007 WEBLOGS AWARDS contest. If the DUFUs makes it as a finalist, then this very DUFU edition will be an EXCELLENT reason why you should vote for it as the FUnniest Blog on the Web. Why? Because of the angst it is sure to cause William Rivers Pitt as well as the rest of the DUmmies (and KOmmies). Think of it. The one blog on the Web awarded as the the FUnniest is dedicated to pointing out the foibles of the...

Speaking of a here-we-go-again story, the AP this morning has revived the Jeri Thompson as trophy wife story again. This is an extremely demeaning charge leveled at the wife of Fred Thompson that keeps resurfacing, over and over, in the liberal press. The thrust of the story is that she is a brainless hottie that Thompson only grabbed up because she is great arm candy. But Jeri Thompson is an accomplished and driven individual in her own right and for the MSM to continually claim she is nothing but a "trophy wife" slights her own achievements. WASHINGTON (AP) - Jeri...
