Two Democrats End Their Presidential Chances

by Sean Hackbarth

At the debate tonight, Rep. Dennis Kucinich actually said he saw a UFO. Not that he had any chance of winning the nomination, but it’s surely over now.

Then there’s Sen. Barack Obama. This picture will require plenty of spinning, and there’s no good way to wiggle out of it.

UPDATE: Gov. Bill Richardson has shot himself in the foot in his post-debate interview with Chris Matthews. Richardson said the government “has not come clean.” Matthews was stunned and quipped American politics is turning into “the anti-evolutionary party versus the pro-UFO party.”

I hope Allahpundit at Hot Air has some video by morning.

UFOs will be the joke story of the next few news cycles with every candidate being asked about them. Let’s find some really wacky Ron Paul supporters. That’s guaranteed entertainment.

UPDATE II: How delicious that Kucinich questioned President Bush’s sanity.

UPDATE III: It wasn’t Allahpundit but Bryan Preston who found the Kucinich clip:

The big-eared Congressman mentioned opening campaign offices in Roswell, NM and Exeter, NH. Roswell and little green men are forever united in the pop culture, but I didn’t know anything about Exeter until now:

In 1965, in the city of Exeter, New Hampshire, a series of UFO sightings took place which gained vast media attention, and became the subject of the book, “Incident at Exeter,” by John G. Fuller. The sensational happenings were also featured in a two-part article in “Look” magazine.

OHNOES BARAK OSAMA DIDNT HOLD HIS HAND TO HIS HART DURIN TEH NASHUNAL ANTHUM!!

Seriously? This is an issue?

Our nation is truly doomed if people give a shit about that.

How long is a shutter flash? Seriously, one frame without context hardly makes any point at all unless you’re trying to say his fly is undone there.

If you’re going to judge the candidates on one picture or another you may want to check through Fred’s portfolio first.

Yes, one picture pulled out of the blue would mean little. But with him saying he doesn’t wear a flag pin anymore I wouldn’t want to be Obama’s spin team.

DJ, I would be very, very wary of a person wanting to lead the nation who doesn’t salute its flag. A modicum of patriotism should be a bare minimum for being President.

If you ask me, too many government stooges have paid lip service to rituals and symbols while perverting them behind the scenes that they don’t hold much meaning for me anymore. Who cares about whether or not someone wears an American flag pin on their lapel if they’re, y’know, torturing people and spying on phone calls? For instance.

Where of course by “modicum” you mean “as much chest-thumping nationalism as its possible to cram into a 24-hour day, no breaks for sleeping or eating, so long as we’re talking about a Democratic candidate.”
