65. If you look at the listing of the Representatives according to personal
wealth, you will find Kucinich near the bottom -- meaning that he is one of the least wealthy members of the House. In other words, he is not on the take and he does not take advantage of his position for personal gain as are and do so many other members of Congress. Kucinich is a man of integrity. It would be very sad if someone put Kucinich out of office. One of the most honest of the members of Congress, that is who Kucinich is.
I think The Kootch may be at the absolute bottom in terms of wealth among members of Congress. DUmmies like to characterize poverty as a noble state, and that it is a sign of honesty (which makes their idolatry of people like Kennedy and Soros illogical). If poverty breeds honesty, the lowest crime rate in town would be around the housing projects. In fact, The Kootch's predecessor as poorest member of Congress was Rep. Jim Trafficant, who was just recently released from federal prison.
