Hey Jim...sometimes justice has a strange sense of humor...

Fiery McKinney handily defeated in Georgia vote
Congresswoman was involved in scuffle, but she blames GOP

DECATUR, Ga. -- Cynthia McKinney, the fiery Georgia congresswoman known for her conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks and the scuffle she had earlier this year with a U.S. Capitol Police officer, lost a runoff election Tuesday for her district's Democratic nomination.

Attorney Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner, soundly defeated McKinney by more than 12,000 votes, winning 59 percent of the total vote. More than 70,000 votes were cast -- 9,000 more than in the primary three weeks ago.

Johnson, a political unknown three weeks ago, strode into the ballroom of his campaign party to shouts of, "Hank! Hank! Hank!"

"I'm here to serve you," Johnson told cheering supporters. "I'm going to make you proud. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to serve you."

The district is heavily Democratic, so Johnson is the favorite in November over Republican challenger Catherine Davis.

Meanwhile, there was no sign of McKinney at her campaign celebration for most of the night. At midnight, the media comprised most of the crowd still awaiting her arrival.

READ THE REST...

Still waiting on a concession speech...

Of course she only lost because she is a black female. Oh, wait, she was beaten by a black man. She must have only lost because she is female.

Oh well. I'm sure another entertaining Congressperson will step in to fill her shoes.

I'm not sure how this relates to Jim.

But she's still a crazy bitch.

Jim was a fan of McKinney and vehemently opposed any criticism of her in earlier threads re: hitting the cop.

jim schmidt · 08-09-2006, 07:02 PM

Actually, I said I found her entertaining and the claim that she "assaulted a police officer" to be the specious and silly work of partisan pussies. But spin it however you like. We've already established that you're full of shit, haven't we?

Jim, I'm a fan of your eloquence, but coming from the guy that complained about the quality of recent threads, that last sentence is somewhat hypocritical.

jim schmidt · 08-09-2006, 10:06 PM

But factually accurate. He made the fatal mistake of wasting my time by his own laziness. I have no patience for that.

I think we've already established that you're illiterate and a hypocrite... so whatever you've said is your own waste of time.
