Cynthia McKinney, the first congressperson to voice 9-11 truthiness, looks like she may be getting a surprise retirement.
Dylan Avery claimed in Oakland that McKinney was the only member of congress who's see his film. As you probably recall, McKinney expressed some 9-11 truthiness in 2002, and was turned out of office in favor of Denise Majette. Unfortunately, Majette decided to try to run for the Senate in 2004, letting McKinney back into her old seat.
McKinney has had some controversy already this year, assaulting a Capitol Police officer who accosted her when she failed to wear her congressional pin while bypassing a security checkpoint. But there's no doubt that most political observers are stunned by her failure to avoid the runoff; nobody thought she was in danger.
The article does not fail to mention her CT qualities:
Not trying to draw politics or Republicans/Democrats into the discussion here. Whoever wins the Democratic primary will win the general election, so there's no potential for this district to matter in terms of control of the House. But it would be nice for there to be one less CT nutbar in Congress.
She was robbed!
Just got this in my in-box, thought I'd pass it along...

DIEBOLD ELECTRONIC MACHINES MALFUNCTION, VOTE FOR OTHER CANDIDATE
(Decatur) After one hour of voting, the McKinney campaign has received numerous calls that the voting machines are malfunctioning. Voters casting votes for McKinney are reportedly having their votes switched by the machines for Hank Johnson. This is not a new problem with Diebold machines. Lawyers for the campaign have been alerted and said that if this situation is not corrected, Cynthia McKinney for Congress will be forced to take additional measures.
