Kucinich tells debate audience: I saw a UFO
Published: Wednesday October 31, 2007
Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign is hardly being taken seriously by the major media in this country, and that fact was on full display Tuesday night when NBC's Tim Russert took time from the Democratic candidates' debate to ask Kucinich's views on little green men.
Russert asked Kucinich about a recent claim by actress Shirley MacLaine, a longtime friend to the Ohio congressman, that he saw was very moved by an encounter with a UFO many years ago.
Kucinich acknowledged the encounter with a mysterious, hovering, triangular craft, but he left open whether he thought it was carrying space invaders.
"I did," he said. "It was an unidentified flying object, OK? It's like, it's unidentified; I saw something."
MacLaine wrote that Kucinich found the experience "extremely moving."
"The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him," she wrote. "It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."
At the debate, Kucinich joked that he was planning to move his headquarters to Roswell, New Mexico, the site of a suspected UFO crash.
Kucinich compared himself to former President Jimmy Carter, who also claimed to have seen a UFO, and he joked that there were more people in the US who have had a close encounter with a strange flying object than who approve of President Bush's performance.

Ronald Reagan Sees a UFO
One night in 1974, from a Cessna Citation aircraft, one of America's most famous citizens saw a UFO.
There were four persons aboard the plane: pilot Bill Paynter, two security guards, and the governor of California, Ronald Reagan. As the airplane approached Bakersfield, California, the passengers called Paynter's attention to a strange object to their rear. "It appeared to be several hundred yards away," Paynter recalled. "It was a fairly steady light until it began to accelerate. Then it appeared to elongate. Then the light took off. It went up at a 45-degree angle-at a high rate of speed. Everyone on the plane was surprised. . . . The UFO went from a normal cruise speed to a fantastic speed instantly. If you give an airplane power, it will accelerate-but not like a hot rod, and that's what this was like."
A week later Reagan recounted the sighting to Norman C. Miller, then Washington bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal. Reagan told Miller, "We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens." When Miller expressed some doubt, a "look of horror came over [Reagan]. It suddenly dawned on him . . . that he was talking to a reporter." Immediately afterward, according to Miller, Reagan "clammed up."
Reagan has not discussed the incident publicly since.
The Ronald Reagan UFO sighting occurred in 1974 while Reagan was flying to Bakersfield, California. Reagan told a reporter afterwards, but hasn't discussed the event since. Learn more about the Ronald Reagan UFO sighting.
"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992
If you don't know what something is then it's a UFO. Jimmy didn't know his astronomy and what he saw was a very bright Venus.
Of course a quick google shows that the UFO retards are asking if he was abducted and replaced with an alien presumably because he saw Venus and didn't recognize it...
I think that Reagan truly believed he saw a spaceship though. Remember his statement to Gorby in Geneva around 1985 or so......
"how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries ..."

I just lost another possible heir, looking at this pic.
Just look at that slutty face. I bet she rims.
Cheers! :bottle:
Nah.
10,000:1 Vegas odds says she's strictly missionary, and only for pro-creation.
You get on top of her, and instead of moans and groans, the second you put it in her she alternates between saying "hurry up! we're sinning!! let's get this over with!!!" and "Jesus, I'm sorry for sinning! I'm not enjoying this!!"...

Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin / Sarah from
Alaska: The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe
The Sunday Times review by Christopher Hitchens: two books — a biography and her own much-trumpeted memoir — paint an alarming portrait of Republican favourite Sarah Palin
It is easy to tell that Sarah Palin has a high opinion of herself. For example, she declines in her memoir, Going Rogue, to attribute
her own presence among us to the mere laws of biology.
Convinced on almost every page that she and her career are the objects of a divine design, she prefers to assert that she did not originate from “single-celled organisms”, let alone from “monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees”. The evolutionary evidence in which she does not “believe” she chooses to call “a theory”, which she then takes some care to show she does not in the least understand. Steve Schmidt, the Republican party handler to whom she confided her stupefying ignorance, after she had been selected as a candidate for the vice-presidency of the United States, “winced and raised his eyebrows”, she recalls in the book. Obviously choosing his words with care, he said: “But your dad’s a science teacher.”
An appeal to the example of Palin’s dad, Chuck Heath, ought to have worked, since on many pages of her abysmal book she describes him as a paragon of tenderness as well as a fount of knowledge. She makes such a good case for him as an authority that one is inclined to believe him when he tells Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe, in Sarah from Alaska, why it was that she lasted only one term at the University of Hawaii, the first of the four colleges she attended. Her book claims that the “perpetual sunshine” of Hawaii was “too perfect” and “not conducive to serious academics”. Her beloved father says in Conroy and Walshe’s biography that she didn’t care for the local Asian-Pacific skin tones: “They were a minority-type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”
It is of interest that America’s two most electric politicians are from the two most recently adopted and geographically separated states: Barack Obama from Hawaii and Palin from Alaska. And it is Palin who has emerged as the anti-Obama, putting her name to the deranged term “death panel” as a slogan against national health insurance, for example, and adored by those who believe America is the object of a socialist takeover led by a man who wasn’t born in the country. (Opinions divide between those who think the president was born in Kenya, and those who agree that he was born in Hawaii but do not yet know that Hawaii is a state of the union.)
When this sort of bigotry and provincialism is directed at Alaska or Alaskans, though, the state’s former governor acts like a girl grizzly or, for all I know, a mother moose, defending her young. Her stock-in-trade is the deft cultivation of resentment against the big cities, the intellectual elite, the media and all who look down on small-town folk. It’s a worn and cracked old disc, and it’s being spun again, often by a group of rarefied Republican intellectuals, who ought to know better, and orchestrated in Washington by Fred Malek, an old inside-the-Beltway hack, who once provided the paranoid populist Richard Nixon with a list of subversive Jews who worked in the Department of Labour.

This in itself should give the lie to the Palinistas who regard their candidate as a rebel or an outsider. The greater part of both these books is taken up with a rehash of Palin’s quarrel with the Republican party managers who drew the short straw of projecting and protecting her farcical candidacy (Conroy and Walshe witnessed the debacle first-hand as “embedded journalists” on her campaign). When these books’ pages are not dismally boring they are positively alarming, and you can almost see the ashen faces of men, such as the above Schmidt, who suddenly realised what a ghastly thing had happened to their party. I personally know some extremely serious conservatives, such as David Frum and Christopher Buckley, who expressed grave public concerns about the Republican ticket on these terms. And it’s no use Palin saying that these men are pointy-heads and big-city slickers, since the energy of her continuing campaign is fuelled to this day by insider pundits such as William Kristol and Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard, whose editorial product is not exactly aimed at the broad masses. Even Barnes, who is also a pillar of Fox News, confesses some misgivings to Conroy and Walshe. He once asked Palin which “conservative thinkers and writers” were her favourites. The only name she could come up with was — Fred Barnes. Barnes is not to be fooled in this way, commenting mildly that: “I’m not sure she’s curious about that at this point. There’s a lot of great stuff that’s been written that’s not that hard to read.”
Palin’s second chapter opens with a sapient observation by Aristotle about how to avoid criticism, which I am guessing was inserted by her ultra-Christian ghostwriter Lynn Vincent. (All the chapter headings are randomly culled and sprinkled: they begin with a null remark by the football coach Lou Holtz — “I don’t believe that God put us on earth to be ordinary” — whereas the whole book is a populist hymn to the most ordinary possible folk.) The current Palin book tour, by contrast, deliberately avoids making stops in the country’s main centres of population on both coasts. Her hero Ronald Reagan would not have done that, but then neither would he have, without warning his friends, resigned his position as the governor of an important state. To watch Palin’s quit-statement on YouTube, by the way, is an obligation for all students of the ineffably incoherent.
The most arresting thing about Palin, indeed, is the absolutely unbreachable serenity of her ignorance. She already has all the information she requires. She knows, for example, how heaven fine-tunes employment practices in the Alaskan oil industry. (“As the months went by, [her husband] Todd’s prayer was answered by an offer for a permanent position with BP.”) This would be laughable if it weren’t creepy. So here is the present pass to which the American right has brought itself: the cult of a silly theocratic demagogue whose main fascination lies in her ability to generate impure thoughts even among those who don’t like her. This seems like a perversion of the argument from design.
I love when Pailn bashes "scientists". Who does that? She sounds like a priest in the 1900s or from some weird Rush album or science fiction book.
I know gw&friends hated the scientists and always tried to take away their credibility, but I think they at least understood that without their scientists, their precious red phone and the Button wouldn't exist.
This idiot thanks god for Alaska's oil wealth without realizing that petroleum is worthless without science.
I would totally nail her though. Doggy preferably.
She's becoming like a religion onto herself.....no matter what she says or how many lies she tells, she'll have her sheep.
Dunno dude, even my nutty birther co-worker, who was ready for her virtual canonization (I know, still living..lol) last year, now says in hindsight "She'd make a good talk-show host, but should probably get out of politics."
I mean, he totally went with the "What, he's not from Keyna? ...uhhh...hang on....errrrr...OK, we meant British!!" logic jump of the birthers but Sarah Palin's starting to lose some luster...
OD I know what you're saying about nailin' Palin was tongue in cheek but I'm really scared people will vote for her because she is a MILF and for no other reason.
