Potatoes! Potatoes!
or, Kucinich Shows Pie Chart on Radio Debate
from Yahpoo!
DES MOINES, Iowa - Federal spending was the topic and Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich came prepared with a pie chart to argue his point about a bloated Pentagon budget.
But although many listened to Tuesday's presidential debate, few could see the Ohio congressman's prop.
The debate was broadcast only on National Public Radio.
As Kucinich challenged Democratic front-runner Howard Dean for refusing to acknowledge that the Pentagon budget needs to be cut, debate moderator Neal Conan of NPR interrupted.
"Congressman Kucinich is holding up a pie chart, which is not truly effective on radio," Conan told his listeners.
Kucinich was not deterred.
"Well, it's effective if Howard can see it," he replied.
I knew Dan Quayle congressman, and you're no Dan Quayle

oh, dennis kucinich- the only politician that Phil Hyde can count as a friend. for the love of god, please support dick gephardt. at least he is a real democrat. howard dean is a rich guy from the northeast who went to yale and then moved to a hick state and became governor and sealed all of his records from his administration and has a smirk which makes you want to smack him across the fucking face. sound familiar?

I am the only alternative in this race. I'm southern, liberal but not crazy, and I am secretly doing Hillary in the Senate caucus rooms. I keed, I keed. But seriously, vote for me.

howard dean can roll up his sleeves all he wants at public events, but as long as we see that heart tattoo with Neville Chamberlain's name on his right forearm, he's never going anywhere.
