Tongue-pierced 6ft tall Essex girl could be next First Lady

[helderheid]

Democratic congressman and 2008 presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's wife, is anything but your run-of-the-mill, conservative, 60-something politician's wife. Oh no. Elizabeth Kucinich is a 29-year-old "hippie chick" from Upminster, England, who stands at six feet tall, with long red hair and a tongue ring. Elizabeth met Dennis two years ago when she visited his office in the House of Representatives with her boss as a volunteer worker for the American Monetary Institute. He proposed to her after just their second meeting, and they were married only three weeks after that, with actress Shirley MacLaine at their wedding. Sure they're 31 years apart, but Elizabeth says that she's "never noticed it at all", that her husband is a "very mature but young-at-heart gentleman and that they "compliment each other".

Elizabeth has studied religion and theology at Kent University and it was her work with the Voluntary Service Overseas that brought her to Tanzania and India, which is where she was inspired to pierce her tongue with what Fox News describes as "a bar with two delicate balls on either side". Elizabeth sites Princess Diana as one of her heroes and is trying to bring "compassion back into public life", which is something she says has been absent since Diana's death.

1. Elizabeth for First Lady!

She'd be terrific.

DK all the way.

[leftchick]

2. that would be too cool!

:)

[ThomCat]

34. Absolutely!

I'd love to have an ethical, vegan, lefty in the whitehouse, and she would certainly be a far better first lady that the medicated zombie we have there now.

[Mandate My Ass]

3. I wish!

sigh. Dennis for prez would be a dream come true. And his lovely wife would be quite a breath of fresh air.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. If only. I'm doing my part, I'm voting for him in the primary. At least if Gore doesn't get in.

Everyone else has pissed me off irretrievably.

[Double T]

5. Dennis and his wife Elizabeth could truly change the train wreck course..........

of our failing nation. 'THEY' will get my vote in the primary AND the general election.

6. Paving the way for trophy wives

Of all political persuasions. They're going to beat this story until Judith Giuliani, in comparison, looks like the "Queen" she says she wants to be.

[WinkyDink]

10. Judy G. from PA. obviously "dated" a married man. Let the Repubs spin THAT.

[sandnsea]

14. At least her tongue isn't pierced

They already ARE, that's my point.

[Hepburn]

19. Well, yeah, her tongue is not pierced....

...but her husband's appears to be forked.

[Pastiche423]

30. Uh, that should read

Married mEn

I know. I was there.

[bamacrat]

7. She's hot, would be the hottest first lady ever...

second to Jackie Kennedy and of course Elanor Roosevelt.

[pnwmom]

8. "Hot" doesn't gain the female vote.

And tongue studs in a first lady would turn off most of the adult population.

[Madspirit]

16. "'Hot' doesn't gain the female vote."

Ummm...lesbians are females...<g> I would be happy.

29. If this election is based on haircuts and tongue studs, you may be right...

It would be a shame to let actual issues and policies interfere with the really important stuff.

This country is becoming so shallow that Grover Norquist couldn't even drown a baby in it.

[goodgd_yall]

31. Speak for yourself

:loveya:

[sshan2525]

9. Nothing against Kucinich but.........

He (she) has about as much chance of being president (first lady) as I do of playing first base for the Red Sox, i.e. zilch.

[WinkyDink]

11. It's nice to dream, though. A "Department of Peace".

[RufusTFirefly]

21. Besides. He's so out of sync with the mainstream. (Not!)

Survey of Public Attitudes Makes Kucinich the Runaway Leader on the Issues

CLEVELAND, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/-- In the political equivalent
of a "blind taste test" taken by more than 67,000 participants, an
independent website surveying public attitudes on various issues is
reporting that Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate
Dennis Kucinich is the first choice of a phenomenal 53% of respondents.

No other candidate, Democrat or Republican, even reaches double digits.

22. Fortunately, the "unelectable" swiftboating isn't working.

DK all the way!

[RufusTFirefly]

24. I like the "David and Goliath" analogy instead

That's one that lots of people can relate to.
Is DK an underdog as far as the MSM is concerned? You bet! But underdogs have a knack for defying the odds.

[porphyrian]

12. I'm good with that. - n/t

[Zywiec]

13. Maybe in another life, but not in this election

Although she is the hottest of all the wives.

[Madspirit]

15. k&r...I can dream, can't I...n/t

[girl gone mad]

38. n/t

[EFerrari]

17. I've never had a bumpersticker before now, ever.

And, it's for DK. :)

[BlooInBloo]

18. I love hotties as much as the next guy, but this is just silly.

[Hepburn]

20. IMO, she really is a very beautiful woman....

....and they look very happy together.



Edit to fix pic I screwed up!

[BlooInBloo]

23. He a little more so, perhaps. :)

[Hepburn]

25. If so....

....I don't blame him one little bit! :thumbsup:

[RufusTFirefly]

28. I think she's been a really positive influence on him

He seems a lot more balanced this campaign than he did in the last.

He's always had a passion for public service and a vision for a better America, but she seems to have helped him to calm down a bit and to focus his message more.

[eridani]

35. This one is pretty cool also

Love that wry British humor!

[Hepburn]

39. I just saw this post...

...that pic is absolutely adorable! Thanks for posting a link!

[Lerkfish]

26. Starting to sound good to me.

[dkofos]

27. Dennis is a lucky man. She would be the hottest first lady ever.

[helderheid]

32. k

[mhatrw]

33. The next-to-last lady.

Thank God for Dodd.

[REP]

36. ...And Pigs Could Fly

In an infinite universe, anything is possible, but some things are not bloody likely.

[mogster]

37. I like this guy better and better

:-)

40. "cites" not "sites".....so much for proofing at that site...
