Being Kicked While Down

Dennis Kucinich, Leftist Presidential Candidate, a "Vegan", has fallen victim to a bout of food poisoning.

I do not wish the man ill (He is 60 years old) but once again we see evidence that God (or Gaia) has a wicked sense of humor, much in the same vein as that expressed by activists dedicated to the lives of wild animals, who are then attacked and eaten by bears.

However the article, written by a newspaper in Ohio, notes the following fact:

"Kucinich, a former Cleveland mayor, typically polls in the low single digits."

Jeez. I hope Dennis is wearing a cup when he reads that. That's like saying:

"Dennis Kucinich, former mayor of Cleveland Ohio, Crown Prince of Barsoom and heir to the throne of Emperor Norton ignited a firestorm of controversy in the James Madison High School Chess Club by answering a students challenge and insisting that Spock was only half the Vulcan that Tuvok was. Reaction to this controversial stance was fiercely expressed by the audience of high school students that as a result of his spoken stance on the controversial "Spock vs. Tuvok" debate, had now become a transformed into a makeshift mob. After withstanding a withering firestorm of pencil erasers, spitballs, cat calls and hisses, Candidate Kucinich backed away from the podium and made a hasty retreat from the School Auditorium under the watchful eyes of the Principal and custodial staff, waving his arms wildly in a futile attempt to deflect the projectiles from doing harm. When reached later for a reaction from the campaign his manager(known as "mom") could only add that she was sure that President Bush was somehow to blame... "

Remember that little throwaway line "polls in the low single digits..." every time he appears on TV or in a "debate" as somehow a serious candidate for President. This guy would have to go up 5 points just to be considered a joke.

I dare say that any one of us could also be said to "...poll in the low single digits" and nobody knows any one of us from the guy next door.
