However, you are *still* missing the point, which was quite simple, tho (originally) humorously intended. There is a song that wonders "what would Willie do" and here is the answer. It's a pretty well-known song in rural Texas, tho not apparently in Kentucky, judging by your reaction. I found the juxtaposition amusing as I have been impressed with several of Kucinich's positions, and it's movement away from the mindless lockstep that produced the Dixie Chicks boycott attempt.
I do find it amusing to be told not to let people tell me what to think by someone who has apparently yet to question a single tenet of Bush administration dogma. The right wing might as well have a credo: I believe in the salvation of Iraq through the intimidation of its population. I believe that Saddam Hussein was a member of al-Qaeda, and I believe that the world is a safer place now that we can humiliate him on network television....
::sigh:: nm....why am I even bothering.
