35. What is he doing that is politically expediant?
I guess I don't understand. Websters gives the following definition for political expedience...stresses judiciousness and tactical value but usually implies some lack of candor or sincerity.

What has Kucinih DONE that is politically expedient? He has every intent to file papers and every intent to try and impeach Cheney...it is certainly judicious and tactical...and I guess I fail to see how there is an implication of a lack of candor or sincerity. That's two out of three...and the third that is missing is the defining attribute.

The people to whom he leveled his accusation speak of how "terrible" the vice president is but do nothing about it...and that's politically expedient.
