Dennis The West Coast Menace?

My feelings on Dennis Kucinich are mixed at best.  He's a Democrat, but his idea of being a team player for the donks involves carrying water exclusively for Team Kucinich's Prickly Honor  (population one) more often than not.  With Ohio Republicans eager to redistrict the long-time Congressman out of existence, Dennis is looking for backup employment options.

Like running in Washington State.

The Seattle Times checked in with the congressman's office after he was observed spending an inordinate amount of time in Washington State -- where Kucinich once communed with an apparent alien at Shirley MacLaine's house, according to her memoir -- to find out whether he was scoping out a potential backup district. Kucinich's response certainly seemed to encourage the idea.

"After people found out that Congressman Kucinich's district could be eliminated or substantially altered in congressional redistricting by the Ohio Legislature's Republican majority, Congressman Kucinich received requests from people in twenty states, including Washington State, encouraging him to move and run in their area," a spokesman, Nathan White said in a statement. "Congressman Kucinich appreciates the interest expressed in his public service. As he has repeatedly said, he fully intends to remain in Congress; he just doesn't know in what district he will run. In the meantime, he is devoted to serving Ohio's 10th district as it currently stands."

White pointed to Kucinich's quotes in a recent Daily Show interview in which he and comedian John Oliver discussed the possibility of him leaving the state to run elsewhere in a parody of LeBron James' "Decision" special.

Pretty sure he'd do fine out there in the Land of Starbucks.  And maybe a new constituency will convince him to help out the rest of the party a bit more often.  We'll see.
