Tim Russert and UFOs

What was the deal with Tim Russert asking UFO questions to Dennis Kucinich during a presidential debate?  I certainly was asking myself that.  So was Senator Mike Gravel who is also a presidential candidate but was excluded from that same debate.

What’s up with the Democratic Party for allowing a network to exclude one of the candidates?

  1. I missed that. What did he ask Kucinich?

  2. From the MSNBC Transcript:

    (previous question from Brian Williams to John Edwards: …Assuming a lot of homes don’t have parental support, would you be in favor of any government guidelines on Internet content?)

    Russert: Congressman Kucinich, I want to move to a different area, because this is a serious question. The godmother of your daughter, Shirley MacLaine, writes in her new book that you sighted a UFO over her home in Washington state…

    (Laughter)

    … that you found the encounter extremely moving, that it was a “triangular craft, silent and hovering,” that you “felt a connection to your heart and heard directions in your mind.”

    Now, did you see a UFO?
