Pathetic!
Oops, I forgot, the Dems are still as stupid and evil as ever!

Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney seemed unmoved by President Bush's insistence Friday that he did not ignore warning signs about the Sept. 11 attacks.
McKinney, who spoke as she tried to escape reporters in DeKalb County, said Congress should launch not one, but at least two investigations.
McKinney, who was widely criticized after insisting in March that Bush ignored warnings of an impending attack, said Friday that all she ever wanted was an investigation.
11Alive's Jon Shirek asked McKinney about critics who called her reprehensible for suggesting that President Bush might have allowed the attacks so his friends in the defense industries could profit from a war.
"Well, you know, I never said that, and it's very important that we understand, I called for an investigation," she responded.
On March 25, McKinney told listeners of KPFA-FM in Berkeley, Calif., that former President Bush might be making money from the defense industry during this war.
McKinney said, "Former President Bush sits on the board of the Carlyle Group. The Los Angeles Times reports that on a single day last month, Carlyle earned $237 billion selling shares...the army's fifth largest contractor."
McKinney asked Friday why Congress should not investigate the former president, his son, and the defense industries.
"And that's an investigation also that could take place along the lines of the Enron investigation," she said.
Denise Majette, a retired state judge seeking to unseat McKinney in Georgia's 4th District, said McKinney succeeds only at making inflammatory statements she can't back up to get attention and votes.
"Trying to divert attention from the real issues. The fact that she's been a totally ineffective legislator in the ten years that she's been in Congress," said Majette.
McKinney says only that she is gratified that so many others, including Majette, have joined her in calling for an investigation of what the president knew before the attacks.
Somebody please post the source of her quote that shows she DID say this.

That's why most folks don't really care what she says - only that she be kept out of anything important.
"Trying to divert attention from the real issues. The fact that she's been a totally ineffective legislator in the ten years that she's been in Congress," said Majette.

Is it just me, or does McKinney not get what Majette said?
$237 billion!!?!?!?! That would give it a market value in the neighborhood of ExxonMobil. General Dynamics, the largest defense contractor has a market cap of $20 billion. If this isn't a typo, she either told a whopper on the level of Klintoon's "I didn't have sex with that woman", or she remembered it wrong and she's so stupid she doesn't understand how ridiculous the number is.
There are numerous articles in the FR archives referencing the occasion. Here's one of them, from the Washington Times.
McKinney made her comments on March 25, in a show called "Flashpoint", broadcast by KPFA in Berkeley, CA.
And we think some of the posters are FR are "conspiracy kooks"...
Typical officer - only warning us to disinfect when you should have told us MOPP4.
heh heh heh
