CBS Atlanta News "exclusive": McKinney campaigners were promised money by 7PM tonight, and they weren't. They claim they were promised $100 cash each to hold signs for the McKinney camp. Members of the Nation of Islam tried to stop WGCL from taping the people protesting.

McKinney's campaign director, State Rep Tyrone Brooks, claims that all of those folks will be paid in checks, supposedly all written by hand (right!) by McKinney's mother.

Sounds like more smoke and mirrors to me.

The Nation of Islam representatives stormed out of the campaign location where this was taking place, and the WGCL reporter says she overheard a couple of them insisting loudly that they would never be involved in something as shoddily run as this was ever again...

I see the NOI doesn't believe in the First Amendment.

And if you will allow me:

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Disgruntled Nation of Islam representatives, disgruntled homeless people promised $100 each to hold signs, and Mrs. Billy McKinney, getting more disgruntled by the minute, writing checks in her frail hand as fast as they can be written while listening to the dispiriting election results of both father and daughter?

Um...Does it get any better than this?
