Mr. Dept. of Peace Shows A Pie Chart On NPR
Damn, is this guy stoopid or what?
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 Tuesdayâs presidential debate, few could see the Ohio congressmanâs prop.
Itâs a wonder anyone saw it. Itâs freakinâ radio!!!
The debate was broadcast only on National Public Radio.
NPR and Kucinich. A fit like O.J and his glove, them two...
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.
"If we're on the damn radio, why'm I wearing a tie?" | Kucinich was not deterred. "Well, itâs effective if Howard can see it," he replied.
Youâre just a blip for now on the screen, pal, get over yourself.
