  • At a conference called by Ex-Congressman Dennis Kucinich about his beliefs in the Lakewood Hospital Deal this wonderful Lakewood moment unfolded...

  • After the cameras were set up, and everyone was ready at Kucinich's announcement, Councilman Tom Bullock called out State Senator and Mayoral Candidate Michael Skindell.

  • Only Lakeoodites will get this joke, Tom Bullock loudly procalims, "You are only do this for attention and political opportunity!" Michael goes to try to respond, and

  • ... Councilman Tom Bullock member of Team Summers, and political ally with Summers, FitzGerald, Madigan steps in front of Michael to explain, how State Senator Skindell is only doing this for attention.

  • You have to just love Tom, I remember when he arrived on our shores, running for anything that was out there, climbing the ladder, but this was A+ cool evil poltician moment, we all got to share with you.

  • As Tom, who waited almost a year on council before running for hire office explaine, "He has no plan, he is only doing it for politics."

  • As I watched the outright horror on the faces of others when suddenly, out in the crowd there was suddenly a "B Card" for what was to be the "A-Card" fight.

  • Meg and Collen reminds us, red or blue, let's all get along! Back to the A-Crad fight.

  • In the center ring, long time congressman for the 10th District, ex-Mayor of Cleveland Dennis Kucinich.

  • I have to say the best part of all of this are the red and blue shirts. Democracy was built on civic discourse, it only seems proper the backdrop for all of this is red, white and blue.

  • Dennis starts to read the prepared statement.

  • As State Senator Michael Skindell looks on.

  • Like old times, Tom Beres asking Dennis Kucinnich questions in Lakewood on Detroit.

  • Once the conference was over, Tom called to the media to make sure everyone understood, "this was for attnetion," "this was about politics," and that, "the two designers and accountant that uncovered this nightmare did not have the cure."

  • Funny how I observe things. After the meeting the "Build Lakewood" siogns were collected, and "Save Lakewood Hospital" carried theirs home in this walkble community. What it means, I have no idea.

  • Marty Gelfand and his daughter say hello to Robert Kennedy Jr.
