Former congresswoman and current crazywoman Cynthia McKinney is spending a little time in an Israeli hoosegow this week.
Only a matter of time, you say? Well, she isn't there because of the time her father blamed her electoral defeat on the "J-E-W-S." Nor, as far as we can tell, is it due to her habit of roughing up cops—although there's no official word about her demeanor when her Greek-flagged Gaza-blockade runner was boarded by the aforementioned J-E-W-S in uniform.
McKinney found herself in dangerous waters as part of her new affiliation with the Green Party (she was their presidential nominee in 2008, in case you missed that) she set sail for Gaza in a ship called the Spirit of Humanity, carrying "21 activists, medical supplies, cement, olive trees and children's toys." She says they were in international waters when she and her shipmates were netted by the Israelis, and refuse to sign a statement admitting guilt—a condition Israel has placed on her release.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor has said Israel was planning to free the crew and passengers.
"Nobody wants to keep them here," he said earlier this week.
I bet.
Via Patrick of Popehat, who notes "While McKinney’s outspokenness and frank opinions have made her a lightning rod for controversy, including charges of anti-semitism, there can be no doubt that, this time, the J-E-W-S are at the root of Cynthia McKinney’s troubles. They really do run everything."
More on Cynthia McKinney here and here.
The only logical reason to do what she did as an avowed jew-hater is to gather intelligence e.g. spy for Israel’s enemies. I wonder what the penalty for espionage by foreign nationals under Israeli law is?
> For Once, Cynthia McKinney’s Problems Really Are Caused by the J-E-W-S
No they are her own fault and nobody elses.
Let's see, it would have to be worse than getting run over by a bulldozer. That's the penalty for stupidity by foreign nationals.
They can keep her. Have they given her a prison haircut yet?
Maybe Al Sharpton will bail her out!
I was thinking that we could send Jimma Carter over to negotiate a release. After all he is on good terms with the Israelis, right? :-)
No, Cynthia McKinney’s problems are casued by Cynthis McKinney.

Good thinking! Then the Israelis could detain both FOREVER!
Nope, no time: Running with the MJ media right now...
Having only read the headline I say, “What, the JOOOOOOS made her stupid?”
Thanks for the morning snort!
Not so much “spy” (even espionage assumes some kind of integrity) as generate propaganda. Israel looks now like it is inclined to simply cough this up and spit it out like a cat does a hairball. She won’t even be granted the infamy of being accused of spying.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet....
I was tempted to say that I haven’t heard such a piece of poetic justice since Rachel Corrie and the IDF bulldozer, but that is probably too politically incorrect to say on a Sunday.........
