You know I love me some crazy
Forget Ozzy and Anna Nicole: Give me reality TV showcasing the life and times of former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney.
If you ever thought Italy had the market cornered on fruitcakes running for public office, let me introduce you to the Queen of Conspiracy, who not only ran for Congress but also won five times before being ousted last fall. (Why is it, again, that I'm supposed to want to beg people to go to the polls?) You might remember her as the one who alleged the president and his staff (and probably some prominent Jews) had full knowledge of the attacks of Sept. 11 but allowed them to take place to profit from the death of thousands of Americans.
The woman is nothing short of bull-goose loony.
How's the old saying go? "The fruit doesn't fall far from the vine," or something along those lines. Her father, Billy, held a spot for years in the Georgia State House, but I'm proud to say my vote last fall helped remove him. Now there's a man who seemingly never met a Jew he couldn't blame one of society's ills on.
Quoting Billy from Atlanta's WXIA, when the station asked him about his daughter's recycling of an old Andrew Young campaign endorsement for the '02 campaign: "That ain't nothing. That's nothing," he said. "Jews have bought everybody. Jews ... J-E-W-S."
But let's not allow dear ol' dad to steal the spotlight here. Quoting Cynthia during the 2000 presidential campaign: "Gore's Negro tolerance level has never been too high. I've never seen him around more than one at a time."
For those of you who fear she might fade into obscurity after her recent defeat, thus rendering her unappealing to viewers, look no further than this news. Since enough kooks apparently exist out there to actually want this woman as a vice presidential nominee, the potential for hilarity is sky-high. With the likelihood of cameo appearances by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Indymedia-fringe types, the networks should be absolutely salivating. Imagine the possibilities, C-SPAN. Imagine the ratings coup vs. Fox News, CNN.
I want my McKinney TV!
