N. O’Brain – I do not want those people to have a candidate. I want to get to watch Hillary, Barack, and Silky continue to pander to the moveon.org crowd. I want the Dem candidates to have to deal with moveon’s plans to pressure Congress to filibuster any further military spending on Iraq.
Paul is going to attract them from both extremes. Here in NV he’s spent a ton of money on radio ads. Every station I listen to I hear at least one Paul ad an hour. He mentions his opposition to Yucca Mountain nuke repository. In another he talks about health care. Another discusses his opposition to taxing tip income. Lots of tip earners here and many of them members of the Culinary Union – huge Dem constituency.
“McKinney seems to be modeling her effort much along the lines of another African-American female presidential candidate from the 1990s Lenora Fulani. Fulani and her cult-like “New Alliance Party†never got more than a half-a-million votes. But they did qualify for millions in federal campaign matching funds.”
I probably shouldn’t hold my breath waiting for someone to do something about this particular hog trough, should I?
I’m just overcome with mirth considering an image of Nancy Pelosi, sitting alone in her darkened D.C. office, head in hands, sipping her second glass of wine, pondering Cindy Sheehan (with her coterie of Code Pinko screechers) smudging up her conmgressional district *and* Maniacal McKinney choosing San Fran and Ca. to base her barbarian unicorn presidential screamfest.
Popcorn? Check!
Yuengling Lager? Double Check!
Plush Leather Recliner? Oh, yeah, baby!
This is a divine intervention of entertainment to assuage the darkness of the writers strike.
Living in CooCoocinich’s district (prayers and happy thoughts are welcomed), there have been a few articles in the local rag about how CooCoocinich would like Ron Paul to be a running mate. I am just amazed at this, because after the whole “anti-war” stance thing they have going on, they have nothing in common. They both claim to be “protector’s of the constitution” and that is believable to an extent for Paul, but I have no idea whose constitution CooCoocinich is talking about. It certainly isn’t the United States’. For his part, a Paul spokesman said that other than the war, the two candidates have nothing in common politically.
Is there a more contemptible person in Congress? That is a tough title to earn, and outside of Murtha, Reid, and Kennedy, she has to be right up there.
JD, fortunately, she no longer holds that title herself, being no longer in Congress. She’s certainly in the running for Most Contemptible Living Person Who’s Been in Congress, but I’m afraid that’s like saying she’s in the running to be president.
One of the reasons McKinney had trouble getting re-elected was because she was so blindingly incompetent she really couldn’t deliver on the pork in her district, JD, so I really don’t hold the same contempt for her that I feel for most of the others.
I miss her like I miss that last root canal, when the anasthetic did not take, and I felt every single thing, right up to the point where the hack broke off the tooth below my gum line, at which point, he called an ambulance, put me under, and delivered my unconscious body to an Oral Surgeon’s office, where they proceeded to take out my tooth with a rusty chainsaw, or so it felt.
Cynthia McKinney is the single most vile excuse for a politician in Washington DC.
As long as the nutbag wing of both sides is represented, that’s fine, they’ll offset the loss of votes for the real candidates.
Unless Pon Raul also attracts reactionary leftist nutbags, too.
Hmmmm…..
Dang. I was so hoping they’d nominate Pat Buchanan.

It’s so much fun to watch the Dems wallowing in the mud, and trying to prevent each other from escaping said mud.
OPRAH!!!! Whatever you say, Oh Great Godess of the TV! Obama? YES MA’AM! YES MA’AM! Let us all put our handcuffs on together!
When do I get my new car?
Vote for Cynthia, or she’ll slap you silly!!!
Do you think she’ll ask the jooos to vote for her, you know the ones that plotted to get her out of office?
The Dems should be embarassed to count her as a colleague. Alas, they are not, which is quite telling.
Nah. Can’t trust ’em anyway. They’re too sneaky.

Aha! It’s like “Six Degrees of Pat Buchanan” over there — except in this case, more like two degrees.

Hold your breath no longer, my friend. How’s this sound: Moe/Squid 2008! Start lining up your friends for cushy campaign jobs now!

Which by the way is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2007.

Her antics and BS after 9/11 have secured her a special place in my heart, where I watch her be eaten by giant spiders every night before I go to bed.
I sort of miss her…because of the comedy.
I miss her like I miss that last root canal, when the anasthetic did not take, and I felt every single thing, right up to the point where the hack broke off the tooth below my gum line, at which point, he called an ambulance, put me under, and delivered my unconscious body to an Oral Surgeon’s office, where they proceeded to take out my tooth with a rusty chainsaw, or so it felt.
I miss her like I miss a baseball size hemerrhoid.
I miss her like I miss timmah and Caric(ature).
Fucking lying fuckers.
I miss her like I miss Mandy blogging for Edwards. Good, good times.
I have no evidence that Cynthia McKinney sucks dicks for crack, but a full investigation might show that to be true.
