Georgia's Disgrace

How did this woman ever make it to Congress in the first place? At least the people of Georgia eventually gave her the boot from that office!

But, hey, maybe she's more typical of the members of Congress than I want to believe!

Hey...there are lots of dummies in America, and they deserve representation as well!

(sorry...it was too humorous not to say. I repent in sackcloth and ashes).

McKinney...what a treasonous excuse for a congresswoman

Pro 30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
Pro 30:22 For a servant when he reigneth; --

Not exactly applicable as to "job titles or gender", but the meaning is still appropriate.

Equally disgraceful is the treatment of Max Cleland (a decorated veteran) by Saxby Chambliss (a chickenhawk).

Just because Geogia spits out of a dumocrats doesn't mean Georgia is disgraced.

She got there the old fashioned way, like Al Gore, she inherited it.

Well, sort of, he daddy William McKinney was a state Representative for a long time. They had to gerrymander a wild district to get her elected to start with. When the supreme court ruled that her district was unconstitutional and it was redrawn she had to move from the 11 district to the 4th to maintain her base.

She should fit right in with the Green Party.

From your link:

Shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, she suggested that President Bush knew about the plot in advance but failed to warn Americans because of his father's business interests. Some political analysts say that statement contributed to her defeat in 2002.

After McKinney was re-elected in 2004, she tried to impeach Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on charges that they lied and manipulated intelligence to justify the war in Iraq.

McKinney hit a career low point in 2006 when she was accused of striking a Capitol Police officer who grabbed her after she passed a security checkpoint without wearing a congressional lapel pin.
