Cynthia McKinney: The Next Day

Cynthia's bitterness was apparent when she finally gave her "concession" speech. She railed against electronic voting and stolen elections. She refused to mention Hank Johnson by name when she wished him luck in November. Her staff members got into physical confrontations with the local media on more than one occasion yesterday. She "sang" Mr. President by Pink during her concession. Cynthia insists she's never going to change. I think that's her problem right there. Neal Boortz hit's it on the head:

Just think about it ... If you had just said "I'm sorry officer, I'm Cynthia McKinney. I've changed my hairdo, perhaps you didn't recognize me." Just 15 words. All you had to do was just be a little human for just a moment -- to show some courtesy to a man who's job might require him to stand between you and a bullet --- but you just couldn't pull it off, could you? You had to turn it into a racial incident. You had to call this man who was just doing his job a racist .... and now can you imagine how he and his fellow Capitol Hill cops are celebrating! One bad moment --- and you're out on year ear.

Life's a bitch, isn't it, Cynthia?

Amen.
