Former U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), possibly the most liberal member of Congress ever, who lost his seat in Congress last November due to redistricting, has signed a multi-year deal as a Fox News commentator.
What???!!! That's like saying that I married a Republican. Oh, wait - I did that before. But, at the time, I was very young and not yet political. Dennis has no such excuse. (And I am long since divorced from that Republican.)
While I believe that Kucinich did this because he wants to continue sharing his progressive ideas (perhaps especially in hostile territory), I think he won't be taken seriously on the fiercely conservative Fox News, and will be seen/treated as a "wild-eyed liberal nut" at worst and/or a token left-winger at best.
So it might do more harm than good.
What do you think?
