HIYO!: From The New Republic's Sunday Spin:

"But immediately following him on "This Week" was the fervently antiwar Representative Dennis Kucinich, who perhaps telegraphed one response the administration will receive on the home front. Flirting with the idea of a presidential bid, the left-wing Ohio congressman used his first round of serious Sunday airtime to demonstrate that he is completely impervious to reason. Kucinich argued that Powell's presentation necessitated further inspections because "what we don't know is how usable any of these weapons might be." And he claimed that even if the Security Council lent its imprimatur to war, he would still personally oppose such action because "what we need to do is to be sure that any action that the United Nations takes would not be a result of being dragged into it by the United States." Kucinich said he is still awaiting "proof" of the threat from Saddam, but that his more immediate concern is the "bellicose rhetoric" from the White House, which "makes the United States more vulnerable to the intentions of terrorists."
