The Kucinich 12 Point Plan Translated
Conman Dennis Kucinich began his Monday by serenading the reverend Jesse Jackson and friends with a rendition of “Sixteen Tons” the old-time spiritual anthem of the down-trodden and then addressed Jackson’s Wall Street Project by presenting his 12 Point Plan for Iraq. This video prepared by one of the Conman’s wild-eyed crazies gives you a video representation of Cleveland’s absentee Congressman - note the reverend Jackson in the background checking his wristwatch towards the end of the Conman’s list as if to say how long is this guy going to go?
For those of you who don’t speak Kucinich’s language of transcendental default and Don Quixoteism the following is my best attempt (I took four years of Spanish in high school and college) at translating his 12 Point Plan:
1. My strategy is simple - “Cut and Run”
2. Since I’m crazy, anything I say should be considered for entertainment purposes only
3. Just like I did with the city of Cleveland, I want to destroy any potential for economic development in Iraq by discouraging corporate involvement in their future.
4. We need to have a meeting in the Middle East so that I can take my wife to exotic locations on the taxpayers’ dime
5. Ask the rest of the world to clean up our mess - which they won’t do, but I’m all about effort and not results
6. Give them money to make love, not war
7. Create an Iraqi Department of Ditch Digging (IDDD) - kind of like FDR’s WPA - and that way they’ll have jobs for their people as well as plenty of empty holes available for all of the dead bodies they’ll need to bury when we leave them in a total state of anarchy
8. Since I’m here with the reverend Jackson, I better talk about reparations
9. Oil is expensive and I drive a hybrid vehicle so what do I care about the price of gasoline?
10. Save Muny Light! (editor’s note, for those of you not from Cleveland click here for a primer)
11. Did I mention Save Muny Light!
12. Even though during the 2006 congressional campaign I told the voters of Ohio’s 10th Congressional District that my only interest was to work on behalf of the people of Cleveland’s west side and that I had no interest in running for president, I lied.
