Poor Cynthia!

This is my quick tribute to Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of Georgia... who lost her job for a SECOND time and can't even take defeat graciously anymore. She couldn't even show up for her own concession speech without getting the police called to break up a fight. You know, when they say "going down swinging", I don't think it was meant to be taken LITERALLY!

---

Poor Cynthia: She may actually have to remember how to work for a living now!

Poor Cynthia: Now all of those years of seniority will be gone. Oh, wait a minute, she doesn't have seniority in the House anymore. She lost that when she got voted out the first time in 2002. Oh well, no big loss.

Poor Cynthia: I guess her own party really DOES know who she is!

Poor Cynthia: I guess her pushy punch-happy aide will have to go back to being a police officer. Oh, wait a minute, he never WAS a police officer, was he? Oh well, no big loss.

Poor Cynthia: She won't have that prime camera spot for the next State of the Union speech! How will she spend her January nights without deciding what to wear so she'd look good when she steals a handshake from the President for the media?

Poor Cynthia: I guess the GOP will have to find another Democrat to use as their poster child.

Poor Cynthia: I guess the Capital Hill police will have to take down all of those pictures of her, because they won't have to know in advance who she is!

Poor Cynthia: Now she won't be able to escape prosecution the next time she punches a cop!

Poor Cynthia: She wouldn't have been in trouble if she just blamed it all on alcohol like Mel Gibson did.

Poor Cynthia: Now WSB and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution will have to go back to picking on disgraced convicted criminals like former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell!

Poor Cynthia: And Neal Boortz was just STARTING to like her!

And finally...

Poor Cynthia: I guess she'll have to blame Canada for her loss too. She's blamed everything and everyone else except for herself and her own ego, and she can't do that, can she?
