GLENN: This is very important stuff. While the world is on fire, California is on fire, our Constitution is on fire, they go for yet another attempt at the DREAM Act in congress in about 17 minutes. I thought, what the heck. Why don't we spend some time with Shirley MacLaine and Dennis Kucinich. I mean, just when you think the world couldn't make less sense, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. He's still a presidential candidate. Isn't that amazing? He has claimed to have seen a UFO. This is according to that very good source Shirley MacLaine in her new book, Sage-ing While Age-Ing. Oh, my goodness, The New Yorker will love that title. Quote: "Kucinich had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington when I lived there." Do we have any, like, do we have any creepy music or anything? I mean, this is good stuff. I mean, I feel like we're on Coast to Coast AM, George Noory. We should get Noory on about this. I bet Noory's got all kinds of stuff on this. See if we can get George Noory on tomorrow about the alien encounter with Shirley MacLaine and Dennis Kucinich. "Kucinich had a very close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington when I lived there," said the actress. "Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to the balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft silent, observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so."

Dennis in 2008! Thanks to Michael for sending this picture in...

Hey, that reminds me. Stu, have you ever done acid?

STU: No, I can't say that I have.

GLENN: Really?

STU: How is it, Glenn?

GLENN: I did it in my drug days, like I was 20. I was just a stupid idiot and I did it one time. It freaks you out. It's really bad stuff. Sorry. I don't know what -- ADD moment. I don't know why I brought that up. "So it hovered soundless for ten minutes or so and it sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind." I wonder if those directions were like, -- I'm just thinking outside of the box. I don't know. I don't mean to say that Mr. Kucinich didn't have an alien experiment -- I mean experience. I don't mean to insinuate that he wasn't replaced by an alien because I don't know. But I wonder if those directions he heard in his mind was something like, "Earthling, earthling." "Yes?" "Go back home to Cleveland and screw the economy up, earthling." "Surely I must go. I must go screw the economy of Cleveland up." "Earthling, wait, wait. Better yet, go back to congress and screw things up there, too. We will send you a large woman to stand by your side." Just sayin'. I don't know. I don't know if that's what happened. Kucinich's campaign and congressional representatives did not return calls and e-mail asking whether the Cleveland Democrat, now had in his sixth term, actually in fact did see a UFO or if there was some other explanation for McClain's recollection.

So Stu, you've never done acid?

STU: No. You keep coming back to that. No, I don't know why you're --

GLENN: I just admire you for that. You've never really done drugs?

STU: No. You're --

GLENN: That's really good.

STU: You are approaching me.

GLENN: I'm sorry. I'm just riddled with ADD.

STU: I just, we should stick to the topic.

GLENN: Sorry. MacLaine is a well known believer in UFOs and reincarnation and she has been close to Kucinich for decades. "Earthlings." MacLaine is the Godmother of Kucinich's daughter and attended his Cleveland wedding to his third wife in 2005. MacLaine also recommended in the 1980s that Kucinich visit New Mexico's spiritual advisor, Chris Griscom who MacLaine featured in her then best selling book Dancing in the Light.

When you're dancing in the light -- I'm just saying for a mental image. This is important for me. Kucinich and MacLaine would have been fully clothed, right? Just -- she also said that her spiritual advisor, Chris Griscom, who she tried to get Dennis Kucinich to go to meet with, helped her, you know, was instrumental in her, you know, gaining the ability to communicate to trees. So -- and that's -- I mean, that's in the article there. It's not me. I just, I feel a little uncomfortable telling you. That's what she says that Griscom was instrumental in helping her communicate with trees.

No drugs of any type? You've never taken any --

STU: Glenn, why do you --

GLENN: LSD, acid, I don't even know if those are the same thing.

STU: Why do you keep bringing up, we're in the middle of --

GLENN: MacLaine who shares Dennis Kucinich's opposition to putting weapons in space... doesn't shed any more light in her book on Kucinich's close encounter including when it happened. Her book goes on sale next month. This story is from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. You know, I bet it's -- I wonder when the trees are communicating if they ever say things like, "Hey, witch, stop cutting us down so you can write stories down and make a lot of money, okay? I thought we were your friends."
