Talk about grasping at straws. Or is it cornrows?
Behind 15 points in the polls, I guess she is willing to do just about anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it is filing a spurious lawsuit.

GOd, I love watching moonbats melt down. She is getting obliterated in her primary battle, and now she is lashing out at whoever she can. THis is gonna get good.
Cynthia, It's the JOOS Fault.......

Prediction, Lawsuit dismissed early.
To: Personal Responsibility
The suit says that other facts were misstated including a reported suggestion by McKinney that President Bush had known about the September 11 terror attacks in advance, and had allowed the plot to unfold so that he and his friends could profit from the resulting wars. The quote below is in an article in The Weekly Standard from the January 3 / January 10, 2005 issue by Matthew Continetti.
It comes from a March 25, 2002, interview on KPFA Pacifica radio:
"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11," McKinney said that day. "What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide?" McKinney thought she knew the answer. "What is undeniable," she explained, "is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of September 11th."

I'd be careful if I were the Atlanta Journal, cynthia and her moose fiends may blow up the place. What a piece of work this woman is. Certainly the people in her district aren't going to be stupid for cynthia, one more time. She steals from her district and her district loves her? I really feel sorry for her district. cynthia hates (her people) and continues to use them, while she asks her district to vote for her, so she can rip her district off one more time. What a piece of work this woman is.

Cynthia McKinney is suing Cynthia Tucker.
Atlantans, just stop and think about the incredible sheer wonder of that statement. Jihad Cindy is suing Cindy the Professional Victim and the Urinal-Constipation. I know that my day has automatically been made brighter by simply reading this happy news.
Truly, our God is an awesome God, and He has one heck of a sense of humor.

If Cindy loses the runoff, what then? Will she sue her constituents for voting her out? LOL. I say this with humor but I bet she does not go quietly. Even if the election is not close she will find some way of claiming there is massive vote fraud, tampering, etc.
Aug 8 is going to be one wild primary night with this GA district, plus Lieberman's race here!

I don't know if it's true, but I read once that if you put whiskey on a scorpion, it will sting itself to death.
Somehow that seems related here ...
