In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Shirley MacLaine has made additional comments about the Kucinich outing. In her most recent book, Sage-ing While Age-ing, MacLaine explained how presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich witnessed a close encounter with a UFO while at her home in Washington State 25 years ago.
The book reference led to a question being put to Kucinich by Tim Russert during an October presidential debate. In the WSJ interview Jeffery Trachtenberg, the book publishing reporter at the Wall Street Journal, asked Shirley to comment on the position her revelation had placed Kucinich in.
Trachtenberg: I believe that midway through your book you talk about Dennis Kucinich actually see a…
MacLaine: He didn’t actually see a star being. He saw a craft.
Trachtenberg: A spaceship from your balcony.
MacLaine: Yah.
Trachtenberg: Were you concerned when you wrote that into your book that he might have to address that?
MacLaine: It never even occurred to me. I didn’t know that he was going to run for President. I certainly didn’t know that Tim Russert was going to bring it up. What on earth made him do that?
Trachtenberg: What on earth?
MacLaine: What on sky made Tim Russert do that? Don’t know.
Trachtenberg: Have you heard from him?
MacLaine: Who Tim or Dennis?
Trachtenberg: Dennis.
MacLaine: Oh sure. We talk all the time. I am the Godmother to his daughter. Sure. We were deciding what to do about it. I see his solution was to ask for the impeachment of Cheney. (laughs)
