The Return of the King... for Kucinich

MANCHESTER, NH -- Anyone who has seen the trilogy of "Lord of the Rings" films knows that Aragorn is up for a daunting battle. And so it should probably come as no surprise that the actor who played the king has thrown himself into the New Hampshire primary battle at the side of a candidate who faces a test that is the equivalent of Mr. Frodo's journey up Mount Doom in Mordor.

Film star Viggo Mortensen was so angered over the exclusion of Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich from the last Democratic presidential debate before Tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary that he jumped on a red eye flight from the west coast to not just endorse the anti-war Democrat who has proposed impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney but to campaign on Sunday with Kucinich in Concord and Manchester.

"When a television network has the power to decide which candidates are 'worthy' of addressing the American people, it robs the American people of their most precious right to the free flow of information and dissenting points of view," said Mortensen, a deeply political man who used the forums he was given during the "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" publicity tour to oppose the rush to war with Iraq. "I am an actor, but I am also a citizen and a voter who resents the control that big money, big media, and entrenched political interests have in deciding what I should see, what I should hear, and what I should be allowed to think."

Mortensen is not the only celebrity campaigner on the trail in New Hampshire. Actors Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon were scheduled to make multiple appearances with John Edwards Monday in Bedford, Hampton and Dover. And, of course, the Obama campaign, which once accepted a boost from queen-of-all-media Oprah Winfrey, is now holding events with a "star" that voters are lining up for blocks to meet: Barack Obama.

But the presence of Mortensen, whose chiseled features appeared on a million "Lord of the Rings" posters and who more recently earned critical and commercial acclaim for his turn as a Russian gangster in the film "Eastern Promise," gave the neglected Kucinich campaign a last-minute luster as the candidate and his supporters fought for attention in a state where they have been denied even the measure of media attention accorded rebel Republican Ron Paul.

With Mortensen at his side, Kucinich actually earned what he was denied when ABC News excluded the congressman from Saturday night's Democratic debate between Obama, Edwards and Hillary Clinton: serious attention from the cable and broadcast networks that have all set up shop in Manchester.

Kucinich and Mortensen even appeared on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes" show for an extended segment that say the congressman engage in an extended discussion about fair tax policies and a single-payer health care system

Of course, conservative Sean Hannity took a few swings. But Mortensen struck back at the dark lord of talk television.

After complimenting Mortensen's film performances, Hannity said, "In spite of everything, I'm going to forgive your politics…"

"You don't have to," said Mortensen. " I'm not going to forgive yours."

That was typical of Mortensen's campaigning on behalf of Kucinich, which was a good deal sharper and more engaged than that of most of the absolutely exhausted contenders in New Hampshire.

Mortensen even showed up to introduce a televised forum on Constitutional concerns where this reporter spoke about the need to restore a system of checks and balance.

While the discussion of presidential accountability was surely bracing, one suspects that the dramatic moment of the evening belonged to Mortensen.

"One of the reasons why I support Dennis Kucinich is this…," said the actor.

Mortensen then pulled open his button-down shift to reveal a black t-shirt with the word "Impeach" emblazoned across the front.

1. Well, three questions...

   1. Who wrote this? No byline. Have a feeling since it's "impeachment"...it's Mr Nichols.

   2. Did Hannity really say "in SPIKE of..."? He's a numbskull so maybe...or it's just a type.

   3. Who cares? Another movie star comes out and supports some candidate with NO shot at the nomination and whose impeachment move is stall (yet again) in the Judiciary despite Robert Wexler's "supposed" big move to get it going again.

3. Voters who like what the other candidates are saying should like Kucinich even more . . . for what he's done. The other candidates have flip-flopped on the war in Iraq - Kucinich has been against it since before it started. Maybe that's why he's 'too radical' for the corporate media and their 'debates'.

5. Someone stick a fork in the petulant Kucinich--who proved himself all too willing to sacrifice his honerable commitment to the issues by throwing his true believer supporters at Obama to avenge his score with Edwards. What is particularly offensive is he fancies himself some highly evolved cosmic vibrating at some luv & peace plane and he is just another cynical dirty player. He manages to represent the progressive Left as a laughing stock.

6. NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   SEAN HANNITY RUSHED TO HOSPITAL.

   RupertMurdoch'sNewsCorp'sFoxNews' Pundit And All Around Correct Assessor Of Everything, Sean Hannity, Has Been Rushed To Mount Gargamel Hospital.

   Crew members became worried when Mr. Hannity started babbling on about "metal tables, bright lights and those giant bug eyes" after a recent taping of RupertMurdoch'sNewsCorp'sFoxNews'SeanHannity'sFuckYouColmes' "Hannity and Colmes" featuring Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

   A preliminary MRI of Mr. Hannity's brain shows an odd spike of unknown materials lodged directly in his Cerelackus Ethicus.

   Lead Surgeon, Dr. Carmen Getyu, said "The object appears to have been implanted there somehow, as we can assess no damage to surrounding tissue."

   Stay tuned for details.

10. The right resents Hollywood because stardom allows the expression of values, ideas that it abhors. Big money can control the media, the think tanks, but not individual artists, and it drives them nuts. They want to control all outlets of info; dissenting opinions upset the "common wisdom" propaganda spread by both parties and their corporate sponsors.

    Smiles knowingly? Yeah, right. There's nothing like the smug ignorance of the right. There are a lot of celebrities out there, all with different beliefs, agendas, etc. My point is simply that these people do enjoy an ability to make statements that can conflict with the propaganda of the corporate owned mainstream media, the corporate sponsored think tanks, the corporate financed party with two wings that masquerades as a choice in the US. If what some stars, celebrities had to say is pure garbage, why is the right so vehemently denouncing their statements?

24. Some of the creatures are really railing at the zookeepers today! I love the volley of snorting and chuffing between rivaling species - as if a new impresario will change the fate of those living in increasingly smaller pens. Funny how the ability - or the simple promise of freedom - to paint the inside of your cage whatever color you like makes people believe the floor is somehow expanding. And despite a history abounding in prodigious patterns of thievery, barbarity, corruption, jugglery, jobbery, avarice, hysteria sowing, outlawry, brutality, pecksniffery and bald-faced hypocrisy, the regular victims of much of this royal conduct (and in whose name these crimes are always committed) continue to hoist their little flags and vehemently cheer on the latest clown to mask his motley with promises of wonder-works. The assininity of al-Amriki knows no conceivable end.

    But why should anyone expect a politician in L'Amerique to be anything more than a product of his environment, drawn from the same pool of licensed morons drenching the Homeland from coast to coast? Each and every one of them boasts the same crooked values, delusional mythology, obsession with mirrors, devotion to money, pathological fear of bugbears, mercinariness and unflinching capacity to fatten himself on the toil and torment of his crumb-grubbing fellows. Because in the end, the little american anthropoids with their clamoring and rallying ought to know better, for the mudslinging and slugging of the campaigns is just a prerequisite for the job. The goal of becoming president isn't some American Dream of the highest order, nor is it a divinely inspired aspiration to serve and protect the masses. No, it is an individual desire to rule over others and horn in on the greatest racket known to man.

    It is clear the exhaltation of God and country are only mere keys to open the door, for once upon the throne in Washington the newest scoundrel continues to keep the chain factories running overtime while fiddling with the law machine in order to assure himself and his fellow foxes further access to and control over the coops across the land. But I guess in any contest that pits unwashed bumpkins, epigones, imbeciles, beggars, cowards, noddies and blindmen with all their patriotic intoxication, disdain for one another and childish resignation to everything they see and hear, against professional yeggs, apple-polishers, jackboots, brown shirts, fakirs, warriors, freebooters and humbugs, whose repetoire of tricks and dirty deeds is as terrifyingly blatant as the common ignorance that nourishes it without rest.

    The Jolly Roger is hoisted high above L'Amerique, yet the Walter Mittys of the land continue with their juvenile cheering and clapping, booing and hissing, believing themselves participants in a process that always promises to bring Eden tomorrow but has a growing tendency to invite Sodom instead. It is admirable that Americans are the protagonists of their own dreams, but until they realize they are asleep the delusions will only spread their seed and feed the wire pullers who throw sand in their eyes...

    No question in my mind that you are correct in your assessment of America in important ways.

    But even for a "kid from Jersey?" your cynicism is just a bit over the top. It's the entire planet that will pay a price for the mad meme of consumerism that is most exemplified in the world's Las Vegas images of America.

51. Future additions-

    "Gore announces independent candidacy for President" (August 28, 2008)

    "President-elect (insert Dem here) decides to get sworn in, have their Veep resign, appoint Gore as Veep, resign from office and let Gore become President" (November 5, 2008)

    "HSUBFOOLS Taken Into Custody By Secret Service for Threatening New President For Not Obeying Prediction of November 5th 2008"

    (Oops, sorry...that last is a headline from the Washington Post of January 22, 2008....heheh)

    Is Frita expecting me to do as she and obsessively save her future predic'tions? Not likely. But then again I'm not the one that's nuts...

    Here's looking at you Frita:

    No, I'm expecting you to continue in this lunatic quest for Al Gore to SOMEHOW become President in November 2008.

    Either out of EGO...you just can't admit you're going to be wrong (as you were about impeachment)....

    or lack of sanity and your fragile little mind can't handle that there is no "real justice in the Universe" and the "Rightful President" will never hold that office.

    Not nearly a fragile quest as your ill-conceived allegiance to the hsuB/cHeney admin's anti-constitutional new con supporting dic'tatorship philosophical quest.

    But you keep trying--- don't you... (She's so traumatized about her Frito getting the boot that she's wiped the whole experience from her mind!), poor nutty Frita.

54. We will once again get what we collectively deserve for our leadership.

    Reading through inane arguments against the only Progressive option displays that America isn't ready for measurable real change.

    Hope don't float.

    It doesn't accomplish anything by being an idealist without being a realist.

    Kucinich is not perfect, nor is his campaign but he is the closest thing to that ideal when measured against progressive mores and policies.

    I can forgive Kucinich for being human, for not having the greatest campaign staff and advisers.

    I will not forgive those who voted for the war with funding.

    I will not forgive those who co-wrote the Patriot Act.

    I will not forgive those being backed by the nuclear industry.

    I will not forgive those backed by the military industrial complex. I will not forgive those inching toward war in Iran.

    I won't throw my developed conscience toward anyone but Kucinich, warts and all.

    Are people waiting for a politically aware, progressive messiah or a human leader?

    Nonetheless we will get whomever we deserve.
