Whenever the name Cynthia McKinney appears in print, you can bet she has done something "noteworthy". The former Georgia 4th District Congresswoman and recent Green Party candidate for POTUS, with her freeze dried hair and perpetual scowling face, makes Medussa seem attractive. She continues to insist the terrorism of 9/11 was an inside job and George Bush had prior knowledge of those horrific attacks. Because in her view he did nothing to stop them, she introduced articles of impeachment against Bush and Cheney and that resulted in her acceptance and celebration among the leftist fringe. Many of Miz McKinney`s statements and actions are beyond reason and call into question her sanity.
Most of us remember and recall with delight her fateful day of March 29, 2006. Let us relive the moment: While serving as an "steamed" Congresswoman, she attempted to bypass a security checkpoint on Capitol Hill by waddling around the metal detector on her way to wherever it was she was going. Because she was not wearing her legislative pin, de rigeur for all those who serve in Congress, a Capitol Hill policeman, doing his due diligence, called on her to, "Stop"! Highly insulted and in a state of uncontrollable rage, she proceeded to assault him by slugging him in the chest with her cell phone! Screaming in not-so-very dulcet tones, she cried, "How dare you not recognize me by my frizzfro and gorilla glide?" Alas, she was not arrested. When the officer filed his report two days later, the incident came to light. Under pressure, Miz McKinney was forced to apologize, but she really didn`t. She basked in her glorious infamy and continued to be under the MSM kleig lights for weeks to come. Long story short, she was summarily defeated in November 2006 and eventually joined the Greens. Not even Madame Speaker mourned her departure.
And now! Wonder of wonders, Cynthia McKinney has channelled Rhett Butler and attempted to run blockades to provide humanitarian aid/medical supplies to Hamas! Aboard the good ship "Dignity", in international waters, 90 miles from the coast of Gaza, the Israeli Navy rammed three times and came close to keel hauling this vessel of mercy. Asked for comments by CNN, the Miz McKinney was only too gracious to reply, "Our mission was a peaceful mission. Our mission was thwarted by the agressiveness of the Israeli military." Who woulda thunk Cythnia McKinney could speak in words of over two syllables?
In defense of the Israeli Navy, a spokesman said there had been no response to radio warnings and that "Dignity" tried to out-manuever the Israeli patrol boat which led to the collison. No shots were fired and no injuries reported.
True to form, Miz McKinney called on PEBO to denounce the conflict but he was on the golf course. Clad in his golf shorts and wearing his baseball cap backwards, amabO only called for silence. He was about to putt ... or was it, about to punt ...
Shalom to the people of Israel! God speed!
