While Congressman (which we shall now abbreviate as Conman - make your own inferences here) Dennis Kucinich is busy publicly promoting the ”strategy” for Iraq that he plans to unveil to Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition at their annual Wall Street Project meeting in New York today

(as an aside, I would be unable to forgive myself if I didn’t share this recent quote from the reverend (NOTE small ”r”) Jesse Jackson about Kucinich - ”a brilliant man whose ideas tend to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.”

I don’t know what I can add to that other than that statement makes me feel comfortably undisturbed that Jackson and Kucinich may be made for one another.

but I digress…

Even though Kucinich has been publicly promoting his new plan for Iraq, he’s been quietly continuing to work on behalf of recently deported (and now reportedly missing) former local Imam Fawaz Damra (for those of you who aren’t familiar with Damra click here for some background).  Damra who was deported for lying on his incoming immigration paperwork has been tied to Islamic jihadists unsuccessfully fought his extradition with the help of Kucinich.

Deported on January 4th, Damra has been missing since his return to the West Bank (where he was delivered via chartered plane - paid for at tax payer expense - when was the last time our government paid for a charter for you?  My wife and I were thinking about going to DisneyWorld this year with our daughter and we culd sure use some free private airfare… Conman Kucinich are you listening?) and Kucinich has now turned the mechanism of his office over to looking for the CONVICTED deportee.

Ahh… our tax dollars at work.

Update - January 9, 2007

Israeli security services confirmed today that that they have Damra in custody.  Apparently they would like to send him back to us, but Conman Kucinich will not return their calls…
