Breaking: Dennis Kucinich Sex Scandal

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

I just got off the phone with someone tangentially involved in Dennis' campaign. The rumor is that while a Congressman, Kucinich had an affair with a young, beautiful environmental activist that *may* have been on his staff, thus being a scandal. Word is she was star-struck during one of his speeches, and some kind of possibly inappropriate affair ensued.

Is this why Kucinich and his long time girlfriend broke up shortly after he was drafted to run for President?

CLARIFICATION: This may have happened WHILE Dennis was in a long term and supposedly committed relationship, and it might have been someone on his staff. If she was having her "paychecks signed" but Dennis, that's inappropriate I think.

1. Well, maybe now he will become the front runner in the primaries.

it would be fine with me.

[Monument]

32. Uh oh, do you this will kill his chance to be the nominee?

tee hee, just trying to be funny. I hope that DK gets tons of ladies, and I think he's a real stand up kind of guy.

[Terwilliger]

2. where's the </sarcasm> tag?

:eyes:

[salinen]

3. That's wouldn't be a scandal

that would be love.

[incapsulated]

4. I knew it!

Why else would he hire Pitt, he's got shit to hide and needs someone good with the spin!

You can't hide behind those graphs forever, Dennis!

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

8. actually, that's what I was thinking

What's with the shake-up in the press staff just at that time? I would make a joke about sending Kerry guys over to cover Dennis' ass, but that's probably stretching it a bit.

I wonder if WillPitt will deny these rumors?

5. He's single

but I'm assuming you're being sarcastic...

[HFishbine]

6. "thus being a scandal" -- says you!

Frankly, I hope Dennis is getting a little strange. He's single, smart and working hard. Somebody has got to be diggin' his chilli.

[lucidmadman]

12. He did have a kinda hungry look when...

...Jennifer Tilly came out from behind the curtain on THE TONIGHT SHOW last night.

[HFishbine]

19. I fell asleep on the couch

I thought I had drempt that. Care to fill me in? What happened with Tilly?

[lucidmadman]

30. I caught most of it...

...I was flipping back and forth between Letterman and Leno (only to see DK). He did a DATING GAME spoof. The 'bachelorettes' were Tilly, some republi-bunny radio host and a seemingly drunk Cybill Shepard. He chose Tilly and who wouldn't sight unseen. Her voice is alluring...
The look on DK's face when she walked out was pretty good...

[HFishbine]

35. Cool!

That was my "dream." So absurd that I thought I had dreamed the whole thing. Sorry I missed it, sounds funny.

[Ficus]

7. you're kidding me

right? Youre serious?

[DerekGD]

9. Pre-Emptive Sliming

I thinks the Freep have decided to slime candidates before they actually commit the act. This is analogous to how they search for WMD. One only need to have the capacity to do something in the future, in order to be guilty of the act.

[Devlzown]

10. Dennis, you old dawg!

Woof, woof!:evilgrin:

[ShimokitaJer]

11. Go Dennis!!!

Great job! Young, beautiful, and environmentally aware to boot! They say you shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink, but since there is no mention of sexual harassment, I assuem there was no coercian involved.

How fortunate for you that you aren't married and can choose to have a relationship with whoever the fuck you want without having it called a fucking scandal in order to draw attention away from Kerry.

[Tinoire]

13. Go Dennis! You're unmarried and you are not a hypocrite telling

Gays that "they" are unfit to take marital vows.

Lol. You're a real shit-stirrer WCTV. Which campaign are you invoicing this week? ;)

[Terwilliger]

16. shouldn't this thread be locked? no link...no verifiable source...

sounds like crap he just made up

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

20. I'm an ear-witness

ever claim made in this post is 100% true, and I will vouch for it myself.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

46. hey Tinoire!

:hi: I'm meeting with the staffer in person later this weekend, so I will report in more detail later. She's an NYC DK coordinator and evidentally this rumor is making round among the New York volunteers.

[corporatewhore]

14. it was with medea benjamin

[robsul82]

15. DK, you DAWG!

You SCALAWAG!

Later.

[littlejoe]

17. I think everyone would be glad that the poor man had sex.

[MoonRiver]

18. I say bring out the DU lynch mob!

The guy has sacrificed his principles, as well as hurt and devastated all his moral high ground or be damned Democratic supporters! This kind of thing simply must not be tolerated by our new and improved religious left.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

21. now we know what Dennis and his "buddy" Edwards do for fun

the boys are quite a hit with the ladies evidentally.

[MoonRiver]

24. Must be one of those icky 'boy - girl' things!

YUUCK! ;(

[minkyboodle]

22. Go Dennis

Its your birthday ..... :bounce:
Scott

[smiley_glad_hands]

23. Who Cares? Go for it Dennis--Go for it!

[redqueen]

25. Scandal? Where?

Despite being in a long term and 'supposedly' committed relationship, he wasn't married.

And there's a huge difference between married and not.

[xchrom]

26. apparently i need to go into politics

i never saw straight folks have so much sex.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

28. the source did say - and I assume she was joking -

that she would "---- --- Dennis just for bring NAFTA back into the debates".

[Madrone]

34. Hell, I would!

Dennis could "scandalize" me, any time. Nothing sexier than a progressive man with courage and compassion. Rowrrrrr!

And that's NO JOKE.

[redqueen]

Me too, actually.

:)

[Madrone]

40. I called him first! !!

Heh. :D

Seriously, though - while I am primarily attracted to people MENTALLY, I've never understood why people rank on DK about his looks.

Besides being absolutely SMOKIN' HOT mentally - he's a damned attractive guy physically. Far more so than Kerry, IMO.

Dennis - he's just plain beautiful. Inside, and out. :loveya:

[redqueen]

36. That's cruel

At least put one letter in ... I want to know what she said!

You didn't ask if she was joking? Assumptions are never a good idea if you have a way to get information.

[Madrone]

45. Playin' Hangman -

I'm guessing:

S_ _ _ O_ _ !! :o

[LoZoccolo]

27. Hey there!

:hi: :nuke:

[Adelante]

29. Dawg!

44. who has grovelbot been with lately?

[incapsulated]

47. I think it's pretty obvious from his name

That he's a sexual submissive. Look for Alpha Bots with whips.

[BurtWorm]

33. Oh my God!! Dennis has sex!?

That is a scandal.

[Paulie]

37. Hey Media!!! Look over HERE!!! Sex Sex Sex!!!!

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[MoonRiver]

39. YEAH!! DU has the best scoops on all the candidates affairs,

real or imaginary!! DU does it with Drudge! :D

[Anwen]

38. Get yer freak on, Dennis!

This hardly seems like a scandal. ;-)

[incapsulated]

41. I also heard he has a fetish

Involving oatmeal and hemp rope and they are hiding the pictures that prove it!

Stay Tuned!

[West Coast Democrat]

42. Dennis Groupies!!!

Hey, a good sex scandal is just what Kucinich needs to broaden his appeal!

[mountebank]

43. Haven't decided if this thread is serious or not.

Because you couldn't actually be posting this in all seriousness with that thread title. Could you?

[Bucky]

49. Dennis is too classy to do this as a stunt to get attention, right?

In a less charitable mood I might point out that our two ugliest candidates are the ones having sex scandals. Thank goodness I'm not in a less charitable mood right now.

[DuctapeFatwa]

48. Is she in Kenya?

The election might just make the Nairobi Tourism Minister a very happy man.
