The Love Song Of Dennis J. Kucinich (sappy puff piece)

[sniffa]

Dennis Kucinich is the happiest candidate in this race. True, he is polling in the low single digits; true, he's been the butt of jokes for admitting in a presidential debate that he once saw a UFO.

But he has Elizabeth, whom he met 21/2 years ago. It was love at first sight, during a meeting on monetary reform. “Soul recognition,” they both call it. Less than four months later, they married. He is 61. She is 30. He is short, at 5-7, and she is — wow, she just keeps on going. And they are happy, so happy, that to see them holding hands, grinning wildly, is to understand why they talk as if the universe has a plan for them.

So if the six-term liberal congressman is nearly invisible during his second presidential run, if his tall, elegant, improbable wife receives most of the press and rival candidate Sen. Joe Biden says, “Dennis, the thing I like best about you is your wife,” and reporters ask about her tongue stud, and “The Daily Show” does a segment about how hot she is ... if she is the reason people stop and stare — well, so be it.

He is just as wowed by her.

Woo HOO!

4. Just a backhanded slap and attempt to marginalize

the best candidate running.

Dennis puts 'em all to shame- with or without his wife.

5. I thought this was an hommage to Eliot. My bad.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

[Perry Logan]

6. No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be...

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.

(No offense to Dennis, whom I love.)
