Perhaps it's because the leadership that's trotted out doesn't even know her name........
BLITZER: Is it, Congressman Armey, unpatriotic to raise these questions at this time in the middle of this war on terror?
ARMEY: No, it's not unpatriotic, and there is a way to seriously raise the questions which is being done by a lot of people.
There is a little politics afoot. You know that. Clearly people like Cynthia White (sic) being way out of control on the House floor. The sort of the -- the recycling of old Watergate cliches as one ponders these matters. It's political, it's subtle, and it achieves results.
But the serious people in this business, people like the senator and people like Porter Goss from our body, we're working hard on this thing and we're doing it in a serious manner. What you need to do is always put your blinders on to the politics and stay focused on what's important to this great nation.
BLITZER: You were referring to Cynthia McKinney, the congresswoman from Georgia, right? Is that who you were referring to?
ARMEY: That's right. I mean, quite frankly, the good news with Cynthia is that nobody takes her seriously when she makes these outrageous allegations, as she's made on the floor of the House of Representatives.
If Blitzer doesn't set the record straight, everybody is left to wonder who "Cynthia White" is.
I believe that you are a bit presumptive. Everybody? Did you really need Blitzer to point it out?
I knew who in the hell Dick Armey was talking about. Perhaps you would have gotten a clue if he had said "Cynthia Black".
Remember "Barney Fag"? Perhaps Mr. Armey is just ahead of a few of you folks.
I know who Cynthia White is: She's a Denton County (Texas) Commissioner, and Dick Armey's son Scott's nemesis on the Denton Commissioner's Court (county commission)!
She's unamused by his crooked politics and backroom deals with developers.
Was this some sort of freudian slip on Dick Armey's part?
So Dick has a problem with names he's still correct in his assessment of the whole mess.
