THE CABAL

Kucinich Wins! (A Lawsuit)

Daniel Koffler

Here's the backstory: NBC came up with a set of criteria for admission to the Democratic debate in Nevada tomorrow that they hoped would exclude the lovable little gremlin. Unfortunately for them, he qualified. So, naturally, NBC changed the criteria to ones Kucinich couldn't meet, and disinvited him.

Well, Kucinich took his case to court and won. So tomorrow night, in addition to Obama's audacious hope, Clinton's audacious sense of entitlement, and Edwards' audacious egomania in staying in the race, we can expect a few entertaining sermons on "the rejection of war as an instrument of policy" --- because wars are better fought without any policy goals in mind.

Hopefully, when the debate gets really boring (which most of them are), the cameras can pan to and focus on Kucinich's hot wife.  You got to wonder what that guy is packing....
