AN Essex girl may be the first lady with a tongue stud to have set her sights on the White House. The wife of Dennis Kucinich, a left-wing Democratic congressman and 2008 presidential candidate, is a 29-year-old hippie chick from Upminster at the end of London Undergrounds District line.
Elizabeth Kucinich, née Harper, has been on the stump with her husband, a 60-year-old anti-war campaigner from Cleveland, Ohio, mingling with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama backstage at the Democratic presidential debates. Theres a kind of camaraderie, she said.
A 6ft tall willowy redhead who has been compared to Arwen Evenstar, the Lord of the Rings character, she towers over her diminutive husband. Who cares? she said in an interview. I like wearing high heels so Im used to being taller than most men I stand next to.
Nor is she bothered by their 31-year age difference. I have never noticed it at all, she said. Dennis is a very mature but young-at-heart gentleman and we complement each other.
Kucinich met her husband-to-be two years ago when she visited his office in the House of Representatives with her boss as a volunteer worker for the American Monetary Institute, an offbeat group dedicated to reforming the unjust monetary system.
It was love at first sight for both of them. Immediately after their meeting, Dennis Kucinich phoned a friend and said: Ive met her [my future wife].
He was mesmerised to receive a business e-mail from Harper with her usual signature line from Kama Sutra, one of her favourite films: Knowing love, I shall allow all things to come and go, to be as supple as the wind and take everything that comes with great courage. My heart is as open as the sky.

They came to their senses?
i don't know, maybe too many calouses?
Hmmm... So which LOTR character does Kucinich compare to?
Don't know who'd make THAT mistake. This chick is as much of a moonbat as her husband; in fact, that's what drew her to him!
And by the way, what exactly is 'lurve'?
Um, no.
From the movie "Annie Hall," it means more than love. I think.
I think he looks more like Alfred E. Neuman.
JMHO
Who is the tall redhead standing next to Pee Wee Herman?
When your nose-to-nose your toes are in-it.
When your toes-to-toes your nose is in it.
My prediction: This marriage will not stand the test of time. In fact, something tells me she’s already disgusted with feeling old age creeping up on her every night...
Well, whatever we may think of her hubby as a kook, as a humanitarian, she definitely walks the walk.. nothing can be said about her credentials there......
that being said, a fine lady like that, what the hell was she thinking?
Alfred E. Neuman! Is that you?
What, the African-Americans studies program was all filled up?
Actually, I do bear an amazing resemblance to an old Alfred E. Neuman, especially after the botox injections.
. . .earned a certificate in peace studies. . .
What, the African-Americans studies program was all filled up?
Looks like the Wymon’s Studies courses were also filled.
