Cynthia McKinney To Be 2008’s Ralph Nader

9/11 is a joke!Beloved former congress-lady Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party’s presidential candidate! She’s in it to win! The Greens had a convention on Saturday, apparently, and McKinney was the big winner. Her running mate is “Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop artist and activist.” Well, all right.

McKinney represented Georgia in the House for six terms, and then she slapped around a cop or something, and said Bush did 9/11, and the Jews ran her out of office, and she impeached Bush, in her mind. Experts say she will end up with about 47% of votes intended for McCain, because their names are pretty much the same. [Reuters]

    I thought the ticket was Nader/McKinney?

    What’s with the bait and switch, green party?

  2. Well, that’s a slap in the face to the establishment.

  3. Mediahohoho says at 3:36 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Yep. There go two votes.

  4. nbawriter says at 3:36 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Can Michelle Obama debate Cynthia McKinney? Because that could be as beneficial to the Dems as Jesse Jackson threatening to slough off Barry’s nuts and berries.

  5. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:40 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I’m sorry but neither of them appear to be very green.

  6. Unfortunately for her, she’s going to be turned away at the gate of the shining palace where the nominees will hold their debates. And even pommeling the security guard won’t make the pain go away.

  7. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 3:42 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Cynthia McKinney’s commenter name is AngryBlakGirl.

  8. S.Luggo says at 3:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Spoilers. You’ll cost the Dems victory in Utah. I hope you two are happy with yourselves.

  9. Truculent says at 3:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Georgia cannot embarass itself enough. You go girl. Tupac brought down the World Trade Center to show The Man he will not be disrespected.

  10. More_bitterer says at 3:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    This is going to be fun. We have McKinney running on the Green Party (”Live Green”) ticket, Bob Barr on the Libertarian (”Liberty for America”) ticket and Nader running on the Douchebag (”Official Nader store now open”)ticket.

  11. wx insider says at 3:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    If they ran as the Lezbo party they could get my vote… but only if I can watch.

  12. Cicada says at 3:44 pm, July 14th, 2008

    At last the vagina-or-die voters have an actual vagina to vote for! So far they’ve been forced to pretend that WALNUTS’ wrinkled up man meat was a good substitute, but who orders steak-umms when there’s filet mignon on the menu?

  13. CrunchyKnee says at 3:45 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Now we all know what Imus would say…”talk about some nappy…”

  14. Tinfoil-hatters unite!

  15. MoodProcessor says at 3:48 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Cicada: or is that slim-jim vs. butterflied filet?

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 3:49 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Cicada:
    Problem. Not white.

  17. 23 Skidoo says at 3:54 pm, July 14th, 2008

    The press conferences should be fun. I can imagine any of the big journalists asking them a question, but thinking “please don’t cut me.”

  18. Cicada says at 3:54 pm, July 14th, 2008

    MoodProcessor: Ha! Much better analogy. Ooh - how about a chicken finger vs. a canned ham?

  19. Jobbotch says at 4:00 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I’d hit it with a civil lawsuit!

  20. Cicada says at 4:01 pm, July 14th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: But..but..the PUMAs always SWORE it wasn’t about race. Ed Hale PROMISED. Oh noes! There goes the dream of vagiocracy. Crushed beneath the iron heel of the Choclocrats (or is that Oreocrats?).

  21. HomoPolitico says at 4:02 pm, July 14th, 2008

    And 50 Cent will be Sec. of the Treasury.

  22. Donkey Sauce says at 4:02 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Guess America’s not ready for its first African American female hip-hop president.

  23. Canuckledragger says at 4:11 pm, July 14th, 2008

    McKinney’s veep is Rosa Clemente???

    What, L’il Kim was “too busy?”

  24. EnBuenOra says at 4:14 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Did Nader ever hit a policeman in the chest with a phone?

  25. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:14 pm, July 14th, 2008

    HomoPolitico: Kimora Lee Simmons for Secretary of State! She looks much better in heels than does Condi (which isn’t saying much, I know).

  26. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 4:15 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I always thought Cynthia McKinney and John McCain were the same person.

  27. 23 Skidoo says at 4:23 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Surely there is room for MC Rove in their administration.

  28. Cicada says at 4:27 pm, July 14th, 2008
  29. magic titty says at 4:28 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Black people are now faced with too many candidates to vote for. I did NOT see that coming.

  30. sleepy says at 4:32 pm, July 14th, 2008

    if rosa’s related to roberto, that’s the kind of all-star synergy we can believe in.

  31. Carrie_Okie says at 4:39 pm, July 14th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Obviously a mistake. They are from the Brown Party. Duh.

  32. magic titty says at 4:42 pm, July 14th, 2008

    None of this helps the left’s image as gay ass, war-ending, vagina-toting cowtowers of the festering “Negro” agenda.

  33. NotMyRealName says at 4:46 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Is it just me, or does Rosa Clemente look like Obama in drag? That’s a ticket I could get behind.

  34. Hart88 says at 4:46 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Every vote for McKinney brings us one step closer to finding Tupac’s killer.

  35. Gotta get me some of that green, babe. Yeah, I’m cast all my votes for hemp/not jails and mountaintop replacement.

  36. Manofsteel says at 5:14 pm, July 14th, 2008

    When Oliver Stone makes his inevitable, terrible movie about this election, the actress who played Lisa “One Night” Standing from The Abyss should play Cynthia, and then have her scenes cut because Cynthia will have no effect on this election whatsoever.

  37. Guppy06 says at 5:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    What this nation needs is a president that will punch her own Secret Service detail.

  38. Lazy Media says at 5:47 pm, July 14th, 2008

    The only thing standing between Cynthia and the Oval Office is the J-E-W-S.

    And the rest of America. Them, too.

  39. ManchuCandidate: But she does look bitter!

  40. dearest says at 5:54 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Finally, a hillary follower gets her dues.

  41. bitchincamaro says at 6:05 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I for one, welcome our gynocracy overladies.

  42. josereyes.theroof says at 6:24 pm, July 14th, 2008

    The Afro-Latino coalition ascendent!

    Now, for Obama to pull a rabbit from his hind-quarter & tab Ken Salazar as his running-mate.

  43. Hooray For Anything says at 7:00 pm, July 14th, 2008

    And people wonder why nobody takes the Green Party seriously…..

  44. My main problem is that they aren’t black enough

  45. When I think the green movement, the next thing that comes to mind is hip-hop

    When I think hip-hop, the next thing I think is a green movement.

    Perfect combination.

    Wait. If Walnuts picked a hip-hop artist as VP (in front of his green backdrop), we’ve have this thing sown up. Bye bye hopey

  46. Makeithurt says at 9:24 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Oh, nigress, please.

  47. anabellum says at 9:55 pm, July 14th, 2008

    once upon a time, i had the misfortune of stumbling onto one of Miss Rosa Clementes episodes of acting out….

    lets just say that she clearly did not understand the situation at hand…and it was apparent that all that mattered was her personal agenda of publicity seeking…

    i dont usually picks on folks for their ability to speak or write [i was raised to speak several of the more garbled dialects in the US myself]….but i swear, this woman can not put two sentences together that make sense…period…

    lots and lots of words come out of her mouth, but not a lick of sense…

    way to go Green Party…

    since I don’t no shit about html, this may not work. If so, please drive thru. Thank you.

  49. TheMac says at 10:25 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Canuckledragger: That’s Lil’ Kim, my Canadian friend.

  50. dcjdjay says at 10:44 pm, July 14th, 2008

    At least Jesse wont be chopping off her testicles any time soon.

  51. 2pissed2care says at 10:49 pm, July 14th, 2008

    great how one can also book a gig on her Green home page…never to busy for the fans.

  52. anabellum says at 11:20 pm, July 14th, 2008

    anabellum: the comment i wrote above sounds stilted…..truth is, i really dislike the woman, there are few people that i consider to be more full of shit….

    i was trying not to go off on a standard rabid type rant……as a consequence i seem to have channeled my mother…

    im sure you can understand how embarrassing that might be…

  53. DangerousLiberal says at 2:38 am, July 15th, 2008

    That picture just cries out “this is going to work out just great.” Yup.

  54. badco/LoJ says at 9:11 am, July 15th, 2008

    Is it a bad sign for a VP candidate to be a Dead Prez fan?
