Before we become consumed by the media frenzy over in what could to be start of the fat lady singing for George Bush, I would like to take this moment to salute the Official US Democratic Rep. Whacko of Collateral Damage, GA Rep. Cynthia McKinney. When last we heard from Ms. McK she was introducing legislation calling for a federal investigation into the murder of Tupac Shakur. But that is history and this week — in case you had the misfortune to miss this story — the Right Hon. Ms. McKinney "was confronted by the officer last week after she went around a metal detector, as lawmakers are allowed to do, in a House office building while not wearing the congressional lapel pin that would identify her as a member of Congress. The officer apparently did not recognize McKinney, who recently changed her hairstyle, and she reportedly poked him with her cell phone when he stopped her." Go to CNN or somesuch and see if you can find the footage of her responses to the incident, it's better than Seinfeld. She later alleged that racism was involved in the whole thing and then later apologized as her fellow Dems were seen to be ducking away her from faster than Dick Cheney's hunting partners. I do not have space to do justice to The Right Hon's lunacy over the years but suffice to say there is an excellent sitcom waiting to be written there.
That said I must throw open the nominations Official US Republican Rep. Whacko of Collateral Damage. Many of my favorites have shuffled off the political stage … where have you gone B-1 Bob Dornan, Helen "Dumbest" Chenoweth, Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Tom Delay? The chair is open to suggestions …
