You know, I kind of like Dennis Kucinich -- his heart is in the right place -- but his nutty friends kind of ruin things for his presidential bid.
Case in point: Kucinich's hometown paper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports that his pal Shirley MacLaine (you already know where this is going) wrote in her latest book that ...
Kucinich "had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there," the actress, a close Kucinich friend, wrote. "Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him.
"It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."
To me, this is no less nutty than some of the descriptions I've heard of people having a big religious experience or halo-infused spiritual awakening. To middle America, though, a UFO encounter will just be too much. Not that Kucinich ever had a prayer anyway.
