With 100% of the precincts reporting:
Hank Johnson: 41,178 votes (59%)
Cynthia McKinney: 28,832 votes (41%)
Ah, well . . . The people have spoken . . . Let Johnson get on with the hard work, and I’m sure McKinney will find some other venue in which to be a painful, festering, well-deserved boil on Bush’s butt!
McKinney could go on the road with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on the “Brass Ring of Victimhood” tour.
That, and she’ll have more time to devote to legal actions involving her assault of a police officer. And she’ll also have the time to pursue her run for President…. of the Tupac Shakur fan club.
Alas, we will miss the entertainment value she provided. So here’s to Cynthia, may your bodyguards take your wooden splinters with the gratitude for which the voters intended.
Classic.
Actually Tuesday’s vote marks the excision of a pimple on the butt of the Democratic party.
There probably was some mild disappointment in GOP ranks over McKinney’s defeat. It’s so convenient when faced with a jerk who spews paranoid nonsense to pretend that such a person typifies one’s opponents.
Indeed. 'Talk show blow hard Neal Boortz endorsed her candidacy (albeit tongue in cheek) for that reason.
Nah, those charges were dropped.
Are you sure it’s all nonsense? I see absolutely no reason to take seriously any theory about the Bush Admin arranging for the 9-11 attacks. OTOH, if they knew about the attacks in advance and did nothing, even deliberately stood down any defenses that might have stopped it . . . that would not surprise me one little tiny bit. It should be very clear by now that this administration is morally capable of high treason.
You forget the option of a civil suit by the officer. She’s no longer Congress Critter McKinney.
Meh. If she didn’t actually injure him, he can’t win more than nominal damages.
Just saw on Fox News some footage from last night of McKinney’s entourage spewing rascist and anti-semetic threats at the press.
Anybody see it on any other channels?
Anybody think the MSM will be particularly outraged?
Why would anyone express outrage? She’s already lost. Anything she vents at this point has no news value.
Well, I think so, Brain. But isn’t a deranged, hostile, moonbat Democrat always newsworthy? Narf!
Q- do you also hold the same views about the Wilson Administration perhaps knowing there was a good chance the Lusitania would be sunk or FDR’s Admin allowing the Pearl Harbor attack?
I ask this because it was the lunacy of the accusations that Bush et al allowed the 9-11 attacks which caused me to rethink my beliefs about the Lusitania & Pearl Harbor. (I’m still suspicious about Wilson’s crew, not as much about FDR’s).
Don’t know much about those. In any case, I doubt Wilson or FDR would have been morally capable.
I’m relieved, at any rate, that everybody in this thread appears to be too intelligent to ask why the Admin* would have wanted to allow the 9-11 attacks to succeed.
*Not necessarily W himself. He did look a bit too deer-in-the-headlights when he got the news at his My Pet Goat photo op – I have a hard time believing he’s a good enough actor to put across the impression of being surprised. “Mr. President, you’re no Ronald Reagan!”
That’s probably because there are no Loose Change-type people here, unless you’re willing to step up and admit that you subscribe to lunatic theories…
Oh, wait, you think that the 2004 election was stolen. Never mind.
Hey, ya don’t need to subscribe to any lunatic theory to impute motive here! I mean, they’ve reaped a lot of political dividends from 9-11, haven’t they? And wouldn’t that have appeared obvious in advance?
Doesn’t mean they did have advance knowledge. Doesn’t mean I believe they did. All I say is, it would not surprise me one tiny little bit. It should not surprise you one little bit either. And if McKinney speculates along those lines, that alone does not show her a kook.
Meh-the Germans pretty much said they would-remember the warning published in the newspapers by the German embassy?
Besides, it wouldn’t be on Wilson so much as it would Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty.
Mel Gibson, hollywood star = news value
A whacko Dem congresswoman who surrounds herself with The New Black Panthers who are rascists doesn’t?
A whacko Pub politician …
… oh nevermind, I get it.
