OMG Cynthia McKinney

Just conceded the runoff election vs. Hank Johnson for the Democratic candidacy. Probably the most bizarre on-air concession in history when she waited 20 minutes on-air for her sound system to start working and then proceeded to sing off-key to "Dear Mr. President" by Pink and the Indigo Girls rather than actually, you know, announcing her concession. Also, a member of her campaign personnel got beaned in the head by a channel 11 boom mic. PLZ COME BACK IN '08 FOR MORE FUNNIES CYNTHIA.

It's disgraceful, and perpetuating the myth of the disenfranchised black voter-- especially in the South-- is the worst kind of race-baiting. Georgia will be much better off without McKinney representing it.

This is exactly the sort of thing I would never hear about without ILX.

I thought blount once said her district was safe.

Safe in the general (I'd like to see what percentage of black Georgians vote GOP - 2%? 5%?), but when you're that nuts you're never safe in the primary.

A video of the beaning!

It's mainly just camera dropping and yelling.

I like her admission of, "I wish I could sing."

On 22 May 2011, I had the opportunity to visit the residence of the Qaddafi family, bombed to smithereens by NATO. For a leader, the house seemed small in comparison, say, to the former Clinton family home in Chappaqua or the Obama family home. It was a small whitewashed suburban type house in a typical residential area in metropolitan Tripoli. It was surrounded by dozens of other family homes.
