ACADEMIC ABSURDITY OF THE WEEK: CYNTHIA MCKINNEY, PHD??

Powerline ^ | 11/07/2016 | Steve Hayward

[DFG]

Political junkies will recall with a giggle the less than distinguished career of Cynthia McKinney, the six-term congressperson from Georgia who was an embarrassment even to far lefties who are usually immune to embarrassment. (In fact, when she returned to the House in 2005 after having been defeated for re-election in the Democratic primary in 2002, the Democratic House leadership refused to restore her committee seniority. She was defeated again in the Democratic primary in 2006.) Among other things, McKinney was a 9/11 “truther,” and also speculated that the CIA had a role in the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur.

Well now she’s Doctor Cynthia McKinney, Ph.D, having completed her Ph.D in “leadership and change” at Antioch University. Her dissertation is, naturally, on the greatness of Hugo Chavez. Really, I’m not making this up. You can look it up! Here’s the title and abstract:

[myerson]

Sheila Jackson Lee has a bachelor’s degree from Yale and doctor of law from the University of Virginia. She’s another one who is too stupid to come in out of the rain.

[myerson]

If I remember correctly, he doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree.

[N. Theknow]

All the Cynthia Mckinney Blvd signs are going to need replacement withj Dr Cynthia Mckinney Blvd. /s

Atlantans will now have a choice. Do they score their drugs and other vices on Cynthia McKinney or MLK Blvd?

[Robwin]

Her dissertation is, naturally, on the greatness of Hugo Chavez.

Any word on who actually wrote it?
