Gas prices skyrocketing. Immigration. Tom Delay resigns.

Illegal wiretapping. Plame investigation. Iraq body count continues to climb.

Yet it seems, by the contents of this forum anyway, that the most important issue of the day is Cynthia McKinney.

Why did she change her hair? Was it a vast hair dresser conspiracy?

Why didn't she wear her pin? The least she could do is emulate the Repubicans and wear one of those little flag pins.

Why did she hit that cop? Wasn't she packing a 12 gauge shotgun? Why the fuck didn't she just blow him one in the face?

And about her weight!! I mean, honestly!!!! How can she be taken seriously when she isn't serious about weight control?

Ok, I feel better now. :eyes:

1. ROFL.

:rofl:

Best McKinney Post Ever

2. It's true--we can only discuss one issue at a time.

Part of the reason, I suspect, that McKinney's getting so much space here on DU is that the entire episode is controversial. All DU'ers are not in agreement about what happened to her or what should happen to her.

But Plame, wiretapping, Iraq body count, DeLay, Abramoff, Frist, the War against Christians, South Dakota's abortion ban, etc... These are issues about which DU is almost entirely in agreement, so there's less interest in a heated discussion about them.

3. THAT'S IT!!!

I'm going to change my hairstyle just so I can come over there and kick your ass!!!!

[Orrex]

5. Hey, I liked your hairstyle the way it was!

18. There are some issues that are internalized.

Same with the greater body politic. Who bothers to argue whether the declaration of war in Iraq was a fuck up or not, for example? Everyone knows it was, whether they admit it or not, and people have moved on.

[underpants]

I was just about to post that Delay had evaporated any McKinney talk

at least everywhere but here on DU and RW talk radio.

Amazing.

4. If Mckinney were a repub though ...

would this haven even made it on the news?

[Thtwudbeme]

6. What is your problem????? I have a sick husband, a Latin test tomorrow

3 papers due....I am scared shitless that on my lousy "student" medical insurance policy I am going to get sick...

I am scared of the car completely breaking down while I am in school...

I am worried about my elderly parent's medical bills (middle class retirees...one wouldn't THINK this would be a problem, eh)

I am worried about the war, and what That Jerk is going to do next in the Middle East.

BUT I CAN'T QUIT THINKING ABOUT CYNTHIA MCKINNEY.

Yes, yes, I know. There are people in this country that are dying because of malnutrition---global warming....yada yada yada....

So, you got the name of her hairdresser, eh???

9. ROFL!!!!!!

10. I'm Really Concerned About That Orange Outfit

Why oh why aren't there at least 25 threads about that? Plame...PFFFT...DeLay....PFFFT......NSA....PFFFT....Iraq.....Forget that today is the anniversary of the deaths of MLK and Casey Sheehan....PFFFT....

LETS TALK ABOUT CYNTHIA'S "WILD" CLOTHING! DAMN IT!!!!!!!:silly:

[CatWoman]

11. yeah -- who does she think she is?

wearing traditional "african garb" when we all know there's nothing "tradional" about it?????

Modeling her Easter dress. Thank you for the compliments CW I go overboard with her because I had her at 42. She will turn 5 three weeks before Ben turns 25! Older Mothers are weirdos!

[BlooInBloo]

15. It's obviously because the hates America....

... the country that has done soooo much for her family and friends. And she repays it by wearing clothing from another country? She should be tried for treason.

Now go away - I'm off to celebrate St. Paddy's day!
