Rep. McKinney files to run for re-election
2006-04-27
Amid a swarm of television cameras, U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney arrived at the state Capitol on Monday to file for re-election. McKinney smiled broadly but didn't comment on her recent scuffle with a U.S. Capitol Police officer. "Hello, so good to see you," the Democratic congresswoman said as she made her way around the House chamber.
I'm assuming she's going to win, since she represents a district where the average IQ seems to hang somewhere around the lower end of "dull normal"...
Cynthia is a demonstration of the errors in the other article posted today about how being born poor, dumb and stupid is an insurmountable barrier to succeeding in life ...

#13  Is anything going to come over her "scuffle"?

#12  Dumb technically means unable to speak.

Dumb in this context means lacking in intelligence.

Stupid, on the other hand, to me means you know something is wrong and you repeatedly do it anyway. Deliberate ignorance also falls into that category.

#11  Uh, what's the difference between "dumb" and "stupid", except in the literal "can not speak" sense of "dumb"? Just curious. Am I dumb, stupid, stoopid, or do I just have "issues"? Or all of the above?

#10  Also, RC, she failed in winning her (Majette) run for a Senate seat in D.C. for Georgia. I don't know where Majette ended up, but it wasn't in the Senate (those 2 seats are solidly Repubs).

#9  Actually, her district is not ALL moonbattery. The northern part of it (DeKalb County) is very upper middle class (mostly white and Asian) and can't STAND her. Unfortunately, that's a small portion of her entire district (the central and southern parts of the County are very "urban" let's say). Needless to say, she never shows her face up north, and does nothing for that part of the district (Dunwoody area). Of course, that portion of the County was just enough to get Majette on the ticket several years ago, as they switched parties to vote in the Donk's primary (knowing that in the election total, the Donk will win, so why not Majette instead of McKinney).

#7  Has anyone considered asking Denise Majette(?) if she's willing to run again? She beat McKinney once.

She ran for (and won) a higher office.

#6  She punched a white cop. Hell yes, she is going to win in Atlanta.

#4  Not EVERYONE's an idiot from her district. I am from her district and have voted against her every chance I've gotten. So have alot of others. We ousted her not too long ago. Unfortunately, the lady who beat her decided she wanted to be a senator, left...and the lunacy returned. Here's hoping two's a charm.

#1  Any of the multitude of comments that come to mind could be construed as racist. Ergo, I'll pass and return to watching "Planet of the Apes" on cable TV...
