Given his tax problems and Texas legacy, one might think Willie would be a Bush fan, but he's endorsing Kucinich. __________________ Willie Nelson Endorses Congressman Dennis Kucinich For President Statement from Willie Nelson: "I am endorsing Dennis Kucinich for President because he stands up for heartland Americans who are too often overlooked and unheard. He has done that his whole political career. Big corporations are well-represented in Washington, but Dennis Kucinich is a rare Congressman of conscience and bravery who fights for the unrepresented, much like the late Senator Paul Wellstone. Dennis champions individual privacy, safe food laws and family farmers. A Kucinich Administration will put the interests of America's family farmers, consumers and environment above the greed of industrial agribusiness. I normally do not get too heavily involved in politics, but this is more about getting involved with America than with politics. I encourage people to learn more about Dennis Kucinich at http://www.kucinich.us and I will be doing all I can to raise his profile with voters. I plan to do concerts to benefit the campaign." "It's an honor," commented Rep. Kucinich, "to earn the support of a man who has come to symbolize the best values of America." Kucinich is a four-term member of Congress from Ohio, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and leading critic in Washington of the Bush Administration's foreign and domestic policies. He is an advocate for family farmers.
Willie's main concern is working people. Of course he's a Democrat. And he also sent each of the renegade Dems a red banana.
You know, I questioned it myself when I typed it. One of my best friends is (Land Commissioner) Jerry Patterson's son-in-law and he hears funny stuff from his wife every once in a while. He emailed me about the whiskey and red banana (not bandana) before the story broke. I didn't think twice about it then except to wonder if there was such a thing as a red banana and what such a thing might represent, but now I definitely wonder if something (a 'd' for instance) got lost in translation.
