Wedneday I was hiking and mentioned Charlie Rangel’s statement that the immigration bill was an amnesty bill. From Rangel in particular, I transitioned to black congresscritters in general. As black congresscritters come exclusively from gerrrymandered majority black disstricts there seats are very safe, and run little risk being unseated no matter what they say or do.
I realized that my statement was a wee bit too broad because one black congresscritter, Cynthia McKinney did mange, twice, to lose her House seat. It doesn’t say much for the political bona fides of the black congresscritter to lose an election in a majority black district.
So I found it amusing to read that McKinney is suggesting that she is thinking of running for president [1]. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any presidential canidate, Ralph Nader, Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich included, with less political viability.
Don Surber [2], is suggesttng an all female, and all moonbat, ticket:
Hey, now for the Battle Royale to be her running mate between Rosie O’Donnell and Cindy Sheehan.
A McKinney run would provide the conservative ‘sphere plenty of opportunities for comments, and might provoke the leftards to do another Cindy Sheehan style divorce.
Addendum: Sister Toldjah “endorses” [3] McKinney’s campaign:
“RUN, CYNTHIA, RUN!
“
Very interesting.
