How could they even question the objectivity of a liberal?

It turns out there's another Kucinich who gets Republicans all bent out of shape.

Radar magazine reports that some members of the House Republican Caucus are groaning because they say Jackie Kucinich, daughter of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, "regularly 'beats up' on conservatives via The Hill, where she's been on staff since 2005."

At least one high-ranking Republican pol has refused to be interviewed by Ms. Kucinich, Radar says, because he questions her objectivity. Plus, a few Caucus members have penned a letter they plan to soon send to The Hill asking that Kucinich's work come with a permanent disclaimer, indicating her political pedigree.

"There's just a lot of widespread concern — or, rather, worry that this hasn't raised any red flags — that the daughter of a liberal Democratic member is allowed to cover the very people he fights against: us," said a GOP congressional staffer who asked not to be named.

Ms. Kucinich's boss, editor Hugo Gurdon, isn't concerned. "Her reporting is not influenced by her father being a presidential candidate and longtime politician, except perhaps that it means she grew up in the political world and understands it well," he says.
