Cynthia McKinney Redux?

The normally mild-mannered Republican Congressman from CT, Christopher Shays, got himself in a little hot water the other day.

He was showing a tour group through the Capitol and wanted to use a doorway that visitors are not usually allowed to use.  When the cops reminded him of this, he allegedly started exercising quite the potty mouth!

While there are no allegations of physical force on his part, the story too-closely resembles the run-in Rep. Cynthnia McKinney (D-Mars) had with the Capitol Police last year to pass quietly.  

Expect commentary and trouble from race-bating bigots like Al Sharpton in the week ahead as this story gets its legs.

Cynthia McKinney for President!

Yes, folks, the nuttiest thing to come out of Georgia since the President who farmed them is thinking of making a run for the White House in 2008. Cynthia McKinney is floating her name around here and there.

This woman will make little Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel look like serious candidates.

God bless the woman for trying, but she is among the lowest kinds of race-baiting bigots out there and I anxiously await if and how the Democratic establishment (or the folks who do the General Election debates, if she forgoes her party and runs as an indy/third party candidate) treat her entrance into the debates. My money is on cries of racism within 5 minutes of being kept out.

Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.
