The Plain Dealer
Dennis Kucinich has consulted with a lawyer about radio talk host Glenn Beck's on-air comments knocking Kucinich's marriage. The lawyer has written to Beck's bosses.
But beyond that, Kucinich so far will give no details. "That's true," he said today when asked whether he was discussing the matter with a lawyer. "A letter has been written to the executives of Clear Channel and Premiere and we're awaiting a response."
Clear Channel is the parent of Premiere Radio Networks, which syndidates Beck's show on more than 200 stations. On June 4, the radio talker compared the Cleveland Democratic congressman and presidential aspirant to the Gollum character from "Lord of the Rings" -- and speculated that Kucinich's wife, Elizabeth, must be under the influence of a "date rape drug" to find him attractive.
Kucinich would not say anything more about the lawyer, the letter or what specifically he wants from Beck. So far, media representatives of Beck and Premiere say they know nothing about the letter.
