What did she know, and when did he know it?

[swheats]

hmmmmm.

[leadpenny]

Yes. Hmmmmmm? That fact that anyone thought of making a donation to ANY politician on 9-11 is curious. And one of them a pilot for a major carrier.

[cgbg]

the most ignorant person....

Now wait a minute. Remember the bl..uh..minority Congress wo..uh..person from Texas who confused the Moon with Mars?

But the Congresscritter that angered me the most with her arrogant idiocy was also from Texas from the same district as the "Moon" lady. Her name, so beloved to the media and so despised by me, is Barbara Jordan.

[Movemout]

Once you've sunk to a certain depth of stupidity, degree is hard to differentiate. There are several other dims serving in the current congress who could give her a run for her money in the stupidity department. You offer her a kindness by classifying stupidity as ignorance.

[cgk]

Maybe the more important question is, "What did her contributors know, and when did they know it?".

Her Roledex would make a great FBI Watch list.

[cgk]

"My name is Atif Fareed, and I'll be your pilot today"

The hell you will, Atif!

I have to ask myself how anyone could have done anything on that day, other than stare numbly at the TV screen or try to contact relatives or make some attempt to help those in distress. How in God's name could Cynthia McKinney have gone about her fund-raising activities as if nothing had happened that day?

This is extremely interesting and should be looked into. It would be very easy to imagine a scenario wherein the hate-America Muslims rushed to offer her money to pin the blame on Bush.

To put it in perspective, 9/11 was McKinney's second largest fundraising day of the year. Second only to October 25, when she met with the pro-Palestinian leftist group "Jews for Peace in Palestine and Israel" (JPPI) at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.

Her Roledex would make a great FBI Watch list.

I saw a piece the other night where the FBI had gone after a bumper sticker maker because he made anti-government stickers. This donation list should be more than reason enough for the feds to get in her knickers, Big Time.

Well, I coulda put that a different way, I guess.

[sneakypete]

What did she know,

Nothing

and when did he know it?

She's never known anything.

[gunnedah]

Folks you can sleep well tonight knowing that your Congressperson is for sale to the highest bidder.THE AMERICAN WAY!

[sneakypete]

Who could possibly disagree?

I could. Do the names "Major Owens" or "Patches Kennedy" ring a bell?

[Movemout]

" Remember the bl..uh..minority Congress wo..uh..person from Texas who confused the Moon with Mars? "

I believe you are referring to Sheila Jackson-Lee who has the ability to make a box of rocks resemble Albert Einstein. There is another minority congresswoman, from Californistan I think, whose name escapes me at the moment, who rivals McKinney and Jackson-Lee. She is the one whose hairstyle looks like an alien sucking out what little material that might be in her cranial cavity.

[leadpenny]

You seen this?

[Movemout]

I hear Major Owens is running for office in Maryland. I was hoping he was pursuing his doctoral thesis on sharks' genetic memory of feeding patterns induced by plentiful feeding along the historic slave ship routes.

[leadpenny]

FYI for the fearless Atlanta FReepers.

Let's see, I counted 8 each from NV and VA, 2 each from MD and CA, 1 from DC. On the second busiest day of fundraising not a single contribution from her home state of GA? Memo to CFR proponents. Want to limit contributions? Try this: No contributions from outside the candidates constituency, period.
