I really dig Kucinich standing by the notion that only those who attempt the absurd are capable of achieving the impossible. Our political climate is a characterized by a dead-lock, the driving force behind which is a wariness about change. Real changes will confront us in their totality, in their innumerable details, if not in their basic demands of us, as absurdities---effectively impossibilities. This is why we do not have universal healthcare and education, or truly green solutions to post-industrial problems. We have created a horizon for ourselves out of these problems, the solution(s) to which appear to us as an impossible beyond. Kucinich's gesture, even if not his words, is more than refreshing, its inviting and inspiring.

How wonderful to see a candidate who can poke fun at himself, yet still show that he is serious about things that really matter? Can you really imagine any other candidate, Dem or Repub, sitting across from the man who so deftly skewered (or, if that's your politics, took a bloody hatchet to) the president at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and emptying their pockets (or purse as the case may be) and relishing the whole experience with such candor and aplomb?

There could be some surprises, though. Who would have thought that they'd see a dried-up old stick like Richard Nixon, during the 1968 presidential election, go on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, stare into the camera like a startled fish and drone, “Sock it to me”?

I would love to see a Kucinich/Colbert ticket. That was a fantastic piece. Thank you for sharing.

That was classic. How can't you like this guy? Outside of maybe McCain (since he started drinking the crazy juice), is there another candidate who can laugh at himself so well?

why did Dennis only come on to do some schtick?!

How about a "real" interview?

I was disappointed.

Sometimes it takes humor to get a message across better than seriousness. And, it takes repetition for people to start believing a message. If you note, he mentions the shriveled constitution, the magna carta with its declaration of habeas corpus. There was a message, don't discount what you heard. At the moment, I hold out hope for the impossible.

It is one of life's greatest mysteries to me to see before my very eyes that there are so many people in the USA who will reject a bright, honest, innovative, fully qualified and genuine Democratic presidential candidate, willing and ready to serve, for a compromising, tri-angulating, evasive, slippery, hawkish pretend Democrat who sets so many teeth on edge. It must be something in the water.

that so many "left" Or "progressive" or "liberal" "opinion leaders" discount Kucinich. His stands on health care, corporations in general and particularly THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ AND WAR ON IRAN indicate to me that he's the only presidential candidate (with the possible exception of Ron Paul) who isn't wearing a tinfoil hat.
What the hell is the point of even giving a shit about politics if we're going to concede that we're going to make a choice between two multi-millionairs who both look forward to at least 8 more years of occupation, are considering launching war against at least one other Moslim country on what have been shown to be trumped up charges, intend to throw more than half of our tax dollars to military contractors and their multi-billion dollar schemes to defeat the Soviet Union and think that health care means insurance company care.
I think Kucinich should start a second party.

If the media really wanted to do a service to the American people, they would stop ignoring this real democrat and
let everyone know just how right his poisitions are.
