Kucinich scores high on Ethics Meter
March 8, 2004
The Cleveland Plain Dealer ran a story Sunday on Kucinich’s ethics, quoting ethicist Jack Marshall of Washington as saying Kucinich's resolve as certainly ethical, even if it's not unyieldingly loyal to Democratic leadership.
"Kucinich scales off the charts of any ethics evaluation, once one concludes (as it took me unusually long to do) that his occasionally extreme positions were sincerely held and not just posturing," Marshall, a former lawyer and former assistant dean at the Georgetown Law Center, said in an e-mail exchange.
"Is it ethical to stay in the race? Clearly his message is very different from either Bush's or Kerry's. He believes it is an important message, and thus there is nothing wrong with his staying around to carry it. . . . All in all, Kucinich's determination to stick around gains him points for courage, integrity, perseverance, truth-telling and fortitude . . . ethical conduct all."
