Kucinich Shows Pie Chart on Radio Debate

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Federal spending was the topic and Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich came prepared with a pie chart to argue his point about a bloated Pentagon budget.

But although many listened to Tuesday's presidential debate, few could see the Ohio congressman's prop.

The debate was broadcast only on National Public Radio.

As Kucinich challenged Democratic front-runner Howard Dean for refusing to acknowledge that the Pentagon budget needs to be cut, debate moderator Neal Conan of NPR interrupted.

"Congressman Kucinich is holding up a pie chart, which is not truly effective on radio," Conan told his listeners.

Kucinich was not deterred.

"Well, it's effective if Howard can see it," he replied.

I love him. I loved the "Im electable if you vote for me" thing, too. He's the kind of nerd that should be running this country.

9. I like Dennis....

always have always will. He will forever have my respect as one of the best damn dems we've ever had in congress. He ranks right up there with Paul Wellstone and Richard Byrd in my opinion.
