There she goes (to Washington) again...
Posted by Jon Henke

With apologies to Georgia-dwelling McQ--this is probably more of his beat, though I did live in Georgia for 24 years--I have to mention this little gem....

Democrat Cynthia McKinney, whose tirades against President Bush helped get her tossed out two years ago, appeared headed back to Washington on Tuesday...

• I'd say it's about time this blog started up again.
• I think McKinney, alone, fulfills this Oliver Willis challenge: "I don't doubt that the hatred of Bush has reached absurd levels with a few members of the left, but before we reach Code Starr there are a few things Democratic leaders in congress have to do first..."

  I'd say she's a one-Congresswoman Bush-era equivalent of the Clinton Chronicles.

• On her "Issues Page", Cynthia McKinney just exudes Serious Statesmanship. Of the 9 issues she deems worthy of discussion, this is one:

Cynthia McKinney is a strong advocate, mentor and supporter of the Hip-Hop community. Her unique popularity among the members of the Hip-Hop generation and young people across the United States of America has made her a trusted voice on behalf of producers, retailers and consumers of Hip-Hop entertainment.

Should be an interesting couple years.

UPDATE: And she's not the only peachy keen candidate from Georgia. Henry Hanks has another winner...
