While previewing an upcoming interview with extreme left-wing presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich, on Fridays CBS "Early Show," co-host Harry Smith remarked, "I've actually admired Dennis Kucinich for a long -- since he was mayor of Cleveland."
In addition to Smith admitting that he admired someone as liberal as Kucinich, who wants to establish a Department of Peace and claims to have seen UFOs, Smith specifically mentioned Kucinichs disastrous tenure as Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio.
Even The New York Times could not ignore Kucinichs failures as mayor in a 2003 candidate profile:
" But it all came crashing quickly down when Mr. Kucinich presided over the city's plunge into default in 1978.
The collapse attracted international ridicule and, except for a brief sojourn on the City Council in the early 80's, left the obstreperous boy wonder in political exile for 15 years...[he] was elected mayor in 1977 and governed the city with a tight circle of friends. But Cleveland's finances, already troubled, spiraled out of control.
The climactic moment came in December 1978, when the city was unable to meet $14.5 million in bond obligations. Despite pressure from the business community, Mayor Kucinich refused to sell the municipal electric system to cover the debt.
Cleveland went bust, as did his career."

Not a trophy wife:
Any questions?
She’s been there and she’s done that.
All that is missing is the killer rabbit attack.
News Reporter: Mr. Kucinich, when you first met your wife, recognizing she is so much taller than you, how did you respond?
Kucinich: “My friend put me up to it!”
The redhead has herself a trophy lawn gnome.
And the tank! Don't forget the tank!
OH MAN...YOU OWE ME A NEW COMPUTER SCREEN...FOFLMAO!!
Can you just imagine the idiots that elect this guy year-after-year. What a bunch of goofs!
Dennis did do some good things as mayor. He stood up to the corrupt establishment (the mob even ordered a hit on him at one point because he was upsetting the system). I recall he kicked a microphone cord to knock a live radio broadcast off the air one time. (Anyone who will take on the MSM can’t be all bad. And, as near as I can tell, the man is completely honest - perhaps the only democrat politician who is.

I can’t stand any of his political leanings but I do admire the fact that he sticks by his word and won’t lie to anyone. He is as wierd as a blind bat and somewhat goofy, but he does believe in what he says, and that is his only saving grace to me.
lol
Dennis was a disaster of a mayor in Cleveland.
Kucinich is and always has been a geeky little moron.
