| McKinney touts 9/11 inquiry ASSOCIATED PRESS Former Rep. Cynthia A. McKinney, the Georgia Democrat who suggested that the Bush administration had prior warning of the September 11 attacks, says an independent commission’s investigation into the matter justifies her concerns. which she proceeds to deny in the next breath: "What it proves is that we need to have answers to the question that I originally asked," Mrs. McKinney said in an interview. Mrs. McKinney said she was right to question what the White House knew before the attacks, but that some comments about the administration were taken out of context and have become an "urban legend" among her foes. Her comments March 25, 2002, during an interview on KPFA radio in Berkeley, Calif., implied that the White House allowed the attacks so investment groups specializing in defense contracts would benefit from an ensuing military buildup. She singled out the Carlyle Group, where Mr. Bush’s father, former President George Bush, was an adviser. "What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11?" Mrs. McKinney said at the time. "Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide?" Mrs. McKinney now says she never meant to imply Mr. Bush let the attacks occur so others could benefit. "There was a lot of heat and fury. Innocent Americans were attacked. ... Our country was reacting. I’m part and parcel of that atmosphere," said Mrs. McKinney, who is running for her old congressional seat, which she lost to fellow Democrat Denise Majette, now a Senate candidate. Her original words are right here for all to see. McNinny overestimated the influence of the tin-foil conspiracy industry. She paid the price and now she is demanding a refund. However, Mrs. McKinney still has few kind words for the White House. "The Bush administration keeps giving us answers that don’t answer, explanations that don’t explain and conclusions that don’t conclude," she said in Friday’s interview. We have her word for this, it must be true. She praised the 10-member commission examining pre-September 11 intelligence failures and said she found "absolutely riveting" the testimony by former counterterrorism chief Richard A. Clarke, who depicted Mr. Bush as obsessed with invading Iraq. More lefty depravity. It’s almost funny how the crazed war-monger Clarke is suddenly a hero to the Left, now that his pronouncements support their parochial goals. It’s not quite as brazen as lard-ass Moore’s endorsement of General Clark, whom he had earlier accused of war crimes, but it is close. |

| #5 eLarson, All you have to remember is that ‘the man’ is responsible for everything. If you drop out of school it is because of ‘the man.’ If you don’t qualify for a high paying job it is because of ‘the man.’ I have a lefty coworker that ranted about the many evils of the Carlyle Group. I asked her that if half of what she said was true (rape/pillage/plunder) why wasn’t this company under investigation? Her answer……THE MAN! P.S If you miss another meeting 'The Man' says you are out of the VRWC! |

| #4 . I can't decide if she's trying to be Jesse Jackson of Johnnie Cochran. Hee hee: "reiterations that don't reiterate, repetitions that don't repeat, and slogans that don't, er, sloganate." |

| #2 There it is... she's practically mainstream now in the Dem caucus. Richard Ben-Veniste followed along this type of paranoid thread in his questioning of John Ashcroft. I thought Ashcroft shut that noise down pretty well. the Carlyle Group Reminds me of that old Limbaugh caller who used to urge Rush to "keep an eye on Carlucci." Then again, I must have missed the last quarterly meeting of the VRWC. Anyone have a current org-chart? Thanks! :) |

| #1 So she's still a Democrat, eh? Why hasn't the party distanced itself from her? Perhaps because the party agrees with the antisemitic witch? |
