Well, it’s been confirmed. Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich lays the pipe well. At the first bilingual presidential debate on Univision, the candidates pandered to their Latino audience on issues as diverse as immigration, illegal immigration, and inmigración. Kucinich may have had the best policies all around, but his real appeal to voters was to be found in the hotness of his wife. It’s really no surprise. As any avid viewer of Latin television knows, hot chicks are the key ingredient to good programming.

Still, a few other candidates may have outdone Kucinich’s hot wife rule, and Richardson’s pledge to be a Mexi-can and not a Mexi-can’t. Stewart notes that Dodd tried a different angle by promising the audience he was full of delicious candy. Unfortunately, he was promptly beaten by children with sticks afterwards. Hillary’s campaign says she appeared in a tortilla at the concession stand, but sources say it also may have been a bloated Annette Bening. And finally, Mike Gravel was leaning like a cholo during the entire debate, but confirmed later that that he was just having a stroke.

  1. Best evah. Dennis swinging pipe and let’s please smack Hillary some more for her pandering to people who love Jesus while denying his passion ever took place. Good one, Mrs. C.

  2. Is that plastic fruit thing on her head serious? Why is no one mentioning that? That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It looks like a “Latin Lady Fruit Hat” costume from Toys ‘R Us.

    Yeah, talk about the shameless and ineffective exploitation of your audience’s religious convictions. As you said to me earlier, that’s not exactly the thing to say to a room full of Catholics. Not to mention that she said that during an immigration question, a topic in which she’s further to the right than several Republicans.

    Haha, after our work on the Chenquin vid I’d think you’d be able to spot doctored video. The Chiquita Banana Lady look was a joke, though the fact that Dennis swings some serious pipe isn’t.

  4. HAHA. Wow. I actually DID think it was photoshopped at first, but then Stewart didn’t comment on it at all so I was just like, “wait, was that really REAL?” Anyway, phew.

  5. I was kinda pissed at Jon for saying that was the only reason they are together.
    What about love and seeing eye-to-eye on a host of real world issues?
    What about finding a sane person in a sea of madness?
    My girlfriend was upset too…
    Dennis and Elizabeth are the kind of people who can experience love at first sight because they ARE love.

    Jon has been kinda co-opted by the DLC recently.

  6. That hat wasn’t real. My Mom thought it was and wondering why she would have worn that. I’ve seen that picture of the two of them, and she doesn’t have a hat on.
