Dennis the Menace represents
A few weeks after Hillary Clinton lamely declared that she would "alternate sides" and root for both the Yankees and the Cubs if they were to face each other in the World Series, Cleveland's own Dennis Kucinich did what LeBron James (or Hillary) would never do: he wore an Indians cap during a campaign stop in Red Sox country.
I suppose I'm what you would call a political independent (maybe political orphan would be better), but I think if the Democrats want their candidate in the White House, they'd be better served having Kucinich on their ticket over Hillary Rodham. Why? Check it:
- Exhibit 1: To my knowledge, Jello Biafra has compared only one of the two candidates to the Supreme Being (as far back as '83 and '86, no less).
- Exhibit 2: Only one of the two candidates has the intestinal fortitude to stick with his or her hometown baseball team, carpetbagging or political aspirations be damned (see above).
For more reasons on why Dennis should (and why he won't) be the Democrats' candidate, check his appearance this week on the Colbert Report (either tonight or tomorrow . . . I'm not sure).
