McKinney Ousted in Primary Run-Off
The voters in Georgia's Fourth District finally had enough of wild and crazy Cynthia McKinney and booted her in this week's primary run-off by a landslide margin—59-41. McKinney did not bow out gracefully. Her concession was full of blame to go around. She blamed voting "irregularities," the common refrain of the so-called civil-rights movement, and went so far as to say that electronic voting machines are "a threat to our democracy." She added, "Let the word go out. We aren't going to tolerate any more stolen elections... We want our party back!" Meanwhile, staffers were doing their best impression of their boss all day, assaulting two Atlanta photojournalists, knocking one cameraman's equipment to the ground after a boom microphone accidentally struck members of McKinney's staff—an eye for an eye, we suppose. "One of my assistants needs stitches because of the press that are in this room tonight," McKinney cried. Cynthia just needs to give peace a chance.
Hopefully, the voters in Pennsylvania will be this smart in November and we'll have Governor Swann and not Senator Casey!
