COLBERT VS KUCINICH

[lame54]

Last night (10-1-07) Stephen Colbert challenged Dennis Kucinich to go on his show

Ever hear of the Colbert Bump?

That's when a candidate goes up in the polls after appearing on the Colbert Report

Let's encourage Kucinich to go on colbert's show

1. Thanks--just emailed the campaign. Kick!

[the other one]

2. Tell him to practice first

He was less than impressive when he appeared on the daily show during the last cycle. At least in my opinion.

3. What do you mean challenged?

Why didn't he just invite him, Dennis is usually more than willing.

4. Colbert is a comedy show, remember?

I have the feeling it's all a big set-up and they already have a date set! I look forward to Dennis' appearance on the show!

5. He challenged him to show what's in his pockets

Colbert did a funny piece on what different things that dennis actually keeps in his pockets
ie- mini constitution - bible verse- baseball card - tea bag

dennis shpould go the report and empty his pockets to show his health care plan - article for impeachment- plan to end the war - etc.

that would be funny and he would get the colbert bump

7. You should send him your idea, thats a great way to get his message out.

I watched Oprah the other day when she had Michael Moore on about the health care situation and they were all talking about how its a moral question and all Americans should be provided health care as a right. I couldn't believe that they didn't even mention that a candidate was running for president that is proposing such a plan? I see on tv that Americans think health care is one of the major issues along with the war and they didn't even mention him or his plan. If its a moral issue as Oprah said, why wouldnt she educate Americans that there is an option out there for them. Maybe if he takes your idea to the Colbert show, he may get the attention of more people on what he wants for Americans.

11. I think Moore is holding out for Gore to enter the race, but he's politically

savvy enough to know Kucinich's stand. He should have given him credit since the show was about health care.
