Another Brave Attack on Kucinich

The Simpsons, created by presumed progressive Matt Groaning, is the latest media to mock Kucinich (at least for the next 7 minutes). Premise of the episode was that Springfield moves its primary to before New Hampshire, the candidates and media descend. The following exchange (roughly, I'm doing this from memory) takes place in Moe's Bar:

Principle Skinner: The media are not covering the issues, they're just declaring a front runner and going back to their mansions.
Someone else (Lenny or Homer I think): We should make the most ridiculous candidate the front runner.
Apu: Dennis Kucinich?
A two-foot Kucinich: Hey! I'm right here!
Homer: No, someone totally ridiculous.

They end up pushing Ralph Wiggum (the son of police chief Wiggum) who is known for spouting idiocies and picking his nose. Ralph actually ends up saying some politically decent things, sort of out of "Being There" -- "if we talk to other countries, then the only boom will be in our pants" and sweeps the nation with the motto "Vote Ralph! Pick a Winner!"

Take a look at CandidateChooser.org -- most people who have taken it actually agree with Kucinich on the issues -- but he's the nut ball.
