I just sat down and flicked the TV on and they are talking about the McKinney incident on CNN. This lady does not get it -- they spent 5 minutes asking what happened and all she would do was deflect the question and dig up old issues about racial profiling.
Why is she hiding behind race? I think this going to backfire on her.....
From a post on her web site it looks like she is trying to hide behind the constitution. If she would just fess up I think people would get over it.

Looks like she did it again. This time she was caught by an open new microphone where she called one of her employees dumb or stupid. I just saw the blurb on Fox News.
What she called the person was not what caught my eye, but the fact that she told the reporter that if she is not "sitting in this chair," then comments she makes is off the record and cannot be used in public. Come on!
It took a while, but the people of Cynthia's district are now able to vote their mind on this incident.
Today is primary day and she is well behind in the polls. Lets see how things end up tonight!
It's done -- she has been defeated! But she did not go out without making an ass of herself one last time. Instead of wishing her opponent good luck with his quest, she broke into song and sang some anti-Bush song.
I'm glad the chapter is closed and hope that her antics never come across my radar again.
You gotta be F'in kidding me -- people want her to run for president? This dry hump is just that, dried up!

When is this piece of shit going to dry up and blow away in the wind......
Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, known for her provocative statements when she was a congresswoman from Georgia, accused the Department of Defense this week of using Hurricane Katrina to cover up the slaughter of 5,000 prisoners.
At a news conference in Oakland, Calif., on Sunday, McKinney claimed the Pentagon authorized the execution of the prisoners with one bullet to the head three years ago and then dumped their bodies in a Louisiana swamp.
McKinney said she heard the story from the mother of a National Guard soldier who said her son was assigned to help dispose of the bodies.
"And these were mostly males and her son was afraid to talk because he had signed a silence agreement," McKinney told the crowd. "So he only complained to his mother. But the data was entered into a Pentagon computer."
McKinney said she verified the story from "insiders" who wanted to remain anonymous.
"I suspect that these are prisoners. ... So this investigation of the whole prison industrial complex is extremely important and it should not end with just a question of the nature of prisons in our country," she said to a captivated audience. "These 5,000 souls also need some justice too."
A Defense Department spokesman dismissed McKinney's accusation.
"The claim is outrageous on the very face of it and doesn't merit any further consideration," said Lt. Col. Les' Melnyk. "It would be inconceivable that 5,000 people would go missing in America without anyone noticing it prior to this."
Psychologists and psychology professors contacted by FOXNews.com wouldn't comment on McKinney's mental condition, but they expressed shock at her assertion.
"Wow! What a conspiracy theory," one professor exclaimed before declining comment and hanging up the phone.
Dr. Celia Ward, a clinical psychologist in Washington, D.C., said she wouldn't speculate on McKinney's state of mind because McKinney heard the story from someone else.
"This sounds like a game of telephone," Ward said, explaining how a rumor can change as it passes from one person to another. "But to take something that has so many questions attached to it and to treat a rumor as fact is the basis for mass distortion. It's really a good example of Swift-boating."
Ward said McKinney could have easily verified the story by checking prison records.
"This is the kind of rumor that warrants fact-checking," she said.
McKinney's presidential campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
A member of the House for 12 years until 2007, McKinney is no stranger to controversy. Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she suggested that President Bush knew about the plot in advance but failed to warn Americans because of his father's business interests. Some political analysts say that statement contributed to her defeat in 2002.
After McKinney was re-elected in 2004, she tried to impeach Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on charges that they lied and manipulated intelligence to justify the war in Iraq.
McKinney hit a career low point in 2006 when she was accused of striking a Capitol Police officer who grabbed her after she passed a security checkpoint without wearing a congressional lapel pin. She later apologized for the incident. She was defeated in a Democratic primary later that year and left the Democratic Party in 2007. She was nominated in July to run for president on the Green Party ticket. There are 245 other Green Party candidates running for office this fall.
