Dennis The Menace Arrives

Dennis Kucinich joins the Dark Side:

The former Ohio congressman, who lost his seat after redistricting to fellow Democrat Marcy Kaptur, said that Fox invited him to New York last week to discuss the deal. "That's when they made the offer and I accepted," he said.

He said that he'll appear on shows "across the Fox News Channel"; "There's a chance tomorrow, for example that I might end up being on O'Reilly. On another day I might end up being on Cavuto or on Fox Business."

In July, Kucinich announced that he was launching a PAC to support like-minded candidates after his exit from Congress. He said on Wednesday that "I'll continue to do that, but that's a long range plan and that's not going to in any way interfere with what I'm doing here."

Kucinich has been a semi-regular guest on Fox throughout much of his time in Congress, he pointed out: "I think that the perspective that I offer is one that they obviously have valued in the past because of the number of invitations that I've received."
