Who Wants to Marry Dennis Kucinich?

from the Cleveland Plain-Dealer:

At a New Hampshire candidates' forum, he was queried about first ladies,and the Cleveland Democratic congressman didn't waste his chance to drop the proverbial handkerchief. "As a bachelor, I get a chance to fantasize about my first lady," the twice-divorced Kucinich replied. "And you know, maybe Fox will want to sponsor it as a national contest or something. But in any event, I would want someone who would not just be there by my side, but be a working partner because I think we're in an age when partnerships are imperative to making anything happen in the world.

And I certainly want a dynamic, outspoken woman who was fearless in her desire for peace in the world and for universal single-payer health care and a full employment economy.

"If you are out there call me," he concluded with a flourish reminiscent of "American Gigolo."

You've got to admire a guy who lists no age or physical restrictions, but does demand fearless advocacy of single payer health care.

A New Hampshire political website has taken him up on this, and there are 80 candidates so far. Vote for your favorite! Or enter yourself. The website has offered to fly the lucky winner out and pay for the date. And,

"Kucinich said he really doesn't have time to date because of his busy campaign and congressional schedule but agreed to go along with the contest "out of respect for the feelings of the people who wrote in."

Man, at this rate we're never going to get any of these guys to drop out before March.

UDPATE: one of the candidates admits to organizing Palm Beach County for Nader in 2000. Wow--the 2000 election now has its Steve Bartman. (Fortunately, she's also a former bodybuilding champion so no one will mess with her.)

Kucinich and South Park, Katherine there is still hope for you.

I don't know why you guys think liking South Park is a Republican thing.

That's one of our generalized post categories, by the way. I wasn't trying to imply that what Brian Boitano would do is marry Dennis Kucinich.
