Kucinich Shows Pie Chart on Radio Debate

I thought this was hilarious. Had to post it.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Federal spending was the topic and Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich came prepared with a pie chart to argue his point about a bloated Pentagon budget.

But although many listened to Tuesday's presidential debate, few could see the Ohio congressman's prop.

The debate was broadcast only on National Public Radio.

As Kucinich challenged Democratic front-runner Howard Dean for refusing to acknowledge that the Pentagon budget needs to be cut, debate moderator Neal Conan of NPR interrupted.

"Congressman Kucinich is holding up a pie chart, which is not truly effective on radio," Conan told his listeners.

Kucinich was not deterred.

"Well, it's effective if Howard can see it," he replied.

Whenever I think of NPR, I always think back to the Saturday Night Live sketch with "schweaty balls."

This is a picture after the debate. Looks like someone's got static cling!

Kucinich looks like he just stepped off the set of Star Trek.

And who's the fat guy in the middle?

Hmmm personally I thought this was hilarious:

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with the national review's assessment of what would happen ... especially after Dean announced eliminating the middle income tax cuts.

(The national review is a conservative mag for all of you who don't know)
