Kucinich Loses House Seat in Ohio

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

What with the Kucinich bashing going on in not only this particular thread but the forum?

His "support" for Gaddafi. It's quite ridiculous.

"Support"? He met with Gaddafi regime officials to discuss helping Gaddafi stay in power. He went far beyond being critical of NATO military invention. He made it quite clear he wanted Gaddafi to remain in power and would've been opposed to his ouster even if it had been done without NATO intervention. He also went to Damascus for a friendly visit with Bashar al-Assad while Assad was having people slaughtered in the streets and made publicly published comments about how Assad was such a fantastic leader.

I think it's enough to point out that he showed a remarkable degree of... I think 'extreme misjudgment' sounds right... with regards to that whole issue.

This. Even if he was misquoted, which certainly isn't implausible consider the source is the Syrian state media outlet, it still begs the question why he was even paying a friendly visit to Assad in the first place.
