According to Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s longtime friend Shirley Maclaine, as she writes in her new book:
“Dennis found his encounter extremely moving,” MacLaine writes. “The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him.
“It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn’t comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”
Did I mention that this was the topic of discussion during last night’s Democratic Presidential Debate?
Russert:
Congressman Kucinich, I want to move to a different area because this is a serious question. The godmother of your daughter, Shirley MacLaine…The godmother? I had no clue. When I heard that last night, I said, Gee! The godmother of your daughter, Shirley MacLaine, writes in her new book that you sighted a UFO over her home in Washington State. Now, did you see a UFO?
(First of all, what the hell kind of question is that to ask in a presidential debate to begin with????)
Kucinich:
I — I — I didn’t — I — It was an unidentified flying object, okay? It’s, like, it’s unidentified. I saw something. You have to keep in mind that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO, and also that more people in this country, uh, have seen UFOs than, I think, approve of George Bush’s presidency.
Freakin’ hilarious!
By the way, are you sure you aren’t confusing aliens from space with aliens from MEXICO?
I am thoroughly convinced that this man is on some sort of psychotropic drug. Seriously. The man hallucinates alien encounters! I find it mind boggling that he is an elected Congressman running for President!
Actually, it isn’t so mind boggling. As I recall, Jimmy Carter also has spoken about his encounter with a UFO.
Are you also seeing the trend here? Are you also connecting the dots? Democrats = wackos who have close encounters with space aliens? Are these people trustworthy enough to lead this country into victory against an enemy that wants to destroy and/or enslave us, perhaps like aliens from Mars?
Kudos to Russert and Matthews for showing the world what a pathetic flea Dennis Kucinich is.

I’ll give him _some_ credit for his answer. He didn’t say he saw an alien spacecraft; he specifically said he say something he couldn’t identify.

“The man hallucinates alien encounters! I find it mind boggling that he is an elected Congressman running for President!”
How is that any different from Congressmen and the President who believe in a magical man that lives in the clouds and loves us all (but will send you to hell if you’re bad)? This article drips of hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy in what way? Will you also go so far as to suggest that there are as many people who have had close encounters with ufos and “felt connections” with them, as those who believe in God?
You really didn’t think that argument through, now did you?
For one thing, did it ever cross your mind that this shouldn’t be taken so seriously –that it was poking fun at someone who will obviously not be elected to the Democrat nomination, and who was basically humiliated by who was supposed to be on his side — liberals from the drive-by media? That’s actually what this article is about, but I can see that you are a bit short-sighted.
I happen to be a Christian. I believe in God. But I’m not sure where you get the “magical man that lives in the clouds” reference. It sounds absolutely ignorant frankly, and cartoonish; something silly that would come from a child-like mind. God is not like a man, but the ultimate force that controls the Universe. Only a man so simple minded, that he is is blinded by his own ego, would not believe in such a Higher Power. Do you actually believe that your entire existence is just by coincidence; that there is no real reason for you to be alive? Boy do I feel sorry for you!
You still never actually gave any reasonable proof that I am a hypocrite. And you won’t be able to, because I’m not a hypocrite. However, you seem a bit angry. Life must suck for you so bad that you have to take it out on me, on my blog. Don’t worry, I’ll say a little prayer.
