Dennis Kucinich is a brave man. Whatever else you may think of the five-term Congressman from Ohio’s 10th district, only a fool would deny his courage in running for Cleveland City Council before he was 21.
He later ran and was elected mayor of that city when he was 31. He is perhaps best known nationally for taking a crack at running for president in the Democratic primaries this past year and running well.
Kucinich didn’t win a lot of votes, but he made an impression with his passion and forthrightness and, you might say, went so far as establish himself as a brand name of sorts, one that stands for the courage to speak your mind.
Not coincidentally, he’s written a book called
The Courage to Survive, that fills the rest of us in on a life story that only the people of Cleveland knew of before.
In this interview, Kucinich discusses his book, why he introduced an Article of Impeachment against President George W. Bush this week, why he thinks the U.S. Government will pursue criminal charges against Bush and Dick Cheney when their term expires in January 2009, and what Barack Obama is really like.
