Dennis Kucinich opts out of Washington state race, will retire
By Rachel Rose Hartman | The Ticket – 9 hrs ago

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich announced Wednesday he has decided against running for Congress in Washington state, where activists had urged him to launch a campaign. In a statement, Kucinich signaled the end of his 16-year congressional career:

*SNIP* Blah, blah, blah. *SNIP*

"Dennis Kucinich has to decide what his legacy is going to be. Will he be remembered as a principled member of Congress or the narcissist who lost two Congressional races in two states the same year?" Democratic state party chairman Dwight Pelz told the Seattle Times last month.

Talk about one of the biggest fools that Cleveland ever had. I can’t think of anyone as unemployable and with no job skills whatsoever than this jerk.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she dumps the clown. He looks like her ugly brother-in-law.

With a wife like he’s got, I’m surprised he didn’t “retire” long ago.

Dunno, but if Ron Paul somehow makes it to the White House, Kucinich is on his short list of nominees for a cabinet position for a 'Department of Peace' (based on comments from Paul).

Kucinich is a perfect example of a typical democRAT!

I was part of the media when the DNC was here on Denver. She was one of those annoying kinds of wives who constantly doted and nervously picked off every single small little piece of “fuzzy” off her man’s jacket.

Sure Dennis has principles. Too bad that they are Communistic principles.

Once the aphrodisiac of power is gone, so will she.

Without the Congressman title, Dennis is just another lawn gnome without the cute outfit.

He's a left-wing crazy, but at least shows more civility than most of them.

He'll be 66 on his next birthday, October 8 (the same day as Jesse Jacksons birthday). With his Congressional pension he can live comfortably in retirement.

Ya know, if they lose an election they don’t get to collect the fat government pension they’ve all set up for themselves because they didn’t ‘retire’ from service.

Why do you think all the Dems are retiring?

I believe zoologists refer to that as “grooming.”
