How do you think that the women of America will feel with this guy as President, who likes to show off his "catch" in this way on his political website? Show me any other candidate ever who did anything like this, posed for a picture like this. It is just another way in which women are judged by their physical appearance no matter what they do, and Dennis is happy to take part in it to get some votes.

Please note: I don't have anything against women looking beautiful or men liking that, but I do think that there are contexts where it is appropriate to show that judgement by physical appearance can be set aside, politics being a very important one. You'll notice that the header at the top specifically says "Campaign Photos".

[peace13]

[fenriswolf]

[terisan]

[Basileus Basileon]

15. Does Dennis Kucinich have A LOT of money?

Because I'm wondering why such a woman, who's also A LOT younger than him, would think of marrying Dennis Kucinich....he's like what, 5'4" and he's hardly an oil painting....and I don't believe any of this "he's got a nice personality" type stuff.

Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich is such a bizarre looking match.

[LoZoccolo]

19. Well I don't want to player-hate.

I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if I could get away with it.

[...of J.Temperance]

21. I'm just curious is all

It's such a mis-match.

[dionysus]

20. why do you conservative dems have such a hard-on for dennis?

[...of J.Temperance]

22. Centrist Democrat NOT conservative Democrat....how CAN I have a hard-on?

I'm a girl :P

[dionysus]

27. d'oh

[...of J.Temperance]

33. Well, there IS a difference....such as

We Centrist Democrats are socially liberal ie. we support gay rights and are pro-Choice.

Conservative Democrats are generally socially conservative ie. are usually either against gay rights and/or indifferent on gay rights and are pro-Life.

So it's important to differentiate between Centrist Democrats and Conservative Democrats.

26. Envy ! Like the Republicans always felt about Clinton N?T

[...of J.Temperance]

32. Not really....why would Centrist Democrats "envy" Dennis Kucinich?

The man's so far out of the loop politically, I think Dennis baffles us more than anything with his wacky political ideas which are totally alien to the majority of the mainstream public....which is probably why he's only polling 2% and is also probably why he never gained any political traction in the 2004 Presidential race either.

He seems like a nice person, but politically he's so radically different to us Centrist Democrats, it'd be really silly as to why any of us would "envy" him.

[JTFrog]

34. I think Dennis comes from modest means.

My mother used to advise me to never underestimate men who came in small packages. She said size was an illusion. Being the open-minded hippie of the 60's that she was, she meant that in two ways. She believed that no physical form could fully contain any individual spirit or aura. I found out later in life her other meaning. :blush:

Elizabeth has never appeared the least bit uncomfortable with her husband's stature, and if her feelings are contrived, she is one very convincing actress. They seem positively smitten with each other.

[dionysus]

18. too early in the day for scotch man....

:rofl:

[...of J.Temperance]

24. Not too early for a Tequila though

Straight no chaser!

[SaveElmer]

25. Dennis is obviously standing on a pile of phone books...

Other than that I don't see anything particularly wrong with it!

:-)

[bluedog]

28. his veggies diet helped him get his newest wife. LOL

........... Kucinich went on to explain the benefits of his diet, citing increased energy, clarity, and a better quality of life. Matthews went on to insinuate that Kucinich’s new lifestyle may have helped him match up with a younger wife, to which the presidential hopeful added, “I’m 60 years old, I have a -- my wife’s 29, you draw your own conclusions. Diet helps.”




what happened to his other "2" wives?

[DBoon]

29. Dennis will never achieve his political goal

of becoming president.

He will just have to settle for having a beautiful wife.

Life can be very hard sometimes.

[pnwmom]

30. I'm wondering why they posed the picture to make him look like the taller one.

:shrug:

[JNelson6563]

35. I can't get over how beautiful she is

She is really stunning.

To the happy couple! :toast:
