Essex girl fills White House race with lurve
The Sunday Times ^ | 5/20/07 | Sarah Baxter

AN Essex girl may be the first lady with a tongue stud to have set her sights on the White House. The wife of Dennis Kucinich, a left-wing Democratic congressman and 2008 presidential candidate, is a 29-year-old hippie chick from Upminster at the end of London Underground’s District line.

Elizabeth Kucinich, née Harper, has been on the stump with her husband, a 60-year-old anti-war campaigner from Cleveland, Ohio, mingling with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama backstage at the Democratic presidential debates. “There’s a kind of camaraderie,” she said.

A 6ft tall willowy redhead who has been compared to Arwen Evenstar, the Lord of the Rings character, she towers over her diminutive husband. “Who cares?” she said in an interview. “I like wearing high heels so I’m used to being taller than most men I stand next to.”

Nor is she bothered by their 31-year age difference. “I have never noticed it at all,” she said. “Dennis is a very mature but young-at-heart gentleman and we complement each other.”

Kucinich met her husband-to-be two years ago when she visited his office in the House of Representatives with her boss as a volunteer worker for the American Monetary Institute, an offbeat group dedicated to reforming the “unjust monetary system”.

It was love at first sight for both of them. Immediately after their meeting, Dennis Kucinich phoned a friend and said: “I’ve met her [my future wife].”

He was mesmerised to receive a business e-mail from Harper with her usual signature line from Kama Sutra, one of her favourite films: “Knowing love, I shall allow all things to come and go, to be as supple as the wind and take everything that comes with great courage. My heart is as open as the sky.”

September 11, 2001... “The rest of the world was sending out its love to America but US officials just wanted to kick out. I remember thinking then I’d love to come to America and help them to reconcile with the rest of the world,” she said.

Egads. No wonder Washington is in the sad shape it's in.

If she is the Elf character, Dennis must be the dwarf character

Only in America can a moonbat left wing nutter land a hot chick.

At least we could figure that Kucinich WON’T be needing the special attributes and services of the youngun’s around the White House...???

But, that being said, he MIGHT be a Democrat....!!!

Arwen has dark hair and eyes...I was thinking more "Raggedy Ann, Grateful Dead edition". ;)

If that's supposedly true, how come most men aren't getting the palms of their hands pierced?

Well, maybe if you have some industrial-strength Janitor In A Drum to clean up with afterwards.

Just a guess, but I doubt that phenomenon is limited to the USA.

Liz, you should get over yourself.

You just married an elf who advertised that he was looking for a wife. I think there is a lot that is left out of her version of the story.

And no, no one respects the elf, or takes him seriously. You are way too easily impressed.

And how’s that application for citizenship coming along? Oh that’s right, you don’t have to jump through hoops if you marry an American elf, do you?

Peace.
