Hollywood, Where Else Could Dennis Hopper Meet Dennis Kucinich

We’ve had many thoughts about Dennis Kucinich over the years — but too Hollywood?
Glory be. That’s a new one on us.
Apparently, though, it’s a huge worry in Kucinich’s Cleveland congressional district, where he faces a tough primary. What’s one of the obstacles he must overcome, according to the Washington Post? Get a load of this:
“He doesn’t want to be our congressman anymore. It’s clear he’s left the building. The guy’s got Hollywood fever, and that would be fine if he was using his national stature to actually get things done,” City Councilman Joe Cimperman, Kucinich’s main opponent, said in a telephone interview. …
Cimperman also showed up at Kucinich’s home with local pastries, sausage, Stadium Mustard and a map of Ohio, accusing the lawmaker of abandoning his roots in favor of “eating sushi with Sean Penn.”
What a great name for a Kucinich movie: “Desperately Seeking Sushi.” Surely Sean Penn would prefer to remember Madonna that way.
