I think that's a good balance. Controversial Cynthia goes, but so does that religio-insane, hypocritical wife cheater Barr.

Calling Bob Barr an asshat is an insult to asshats.

I'm less ashamed of my home state now.
 
Ni!
2002-08-21 08:25:53 AM
Oh, thank God! Finally the decent person wins out over the loud-mouthed moron. I have had about all I can stand of that McKinney idiot.

It is a conspiracy that I was not in GA to her go. They had to protect her ears from when I shrieked with farking laughter.

Thank you Mr Hicks.

Even before she won, Majette was dancing at campaign headquarters. Standing on a platform so she could see over the podium, the diminutive candidate told cheering supporters: "I may only be 5-foot-1, but tonight I am 10 feet tall."

Must have been a swell party....

Barr is nuts - really nuts. The only downside is that we won't get to see him mocked on SNL anymore.
 
2002-08-21 08:31:38 AM
I just hope Bob Barr finds employment in the service industry so I can torture him. I'd love to see him in a LongJohn Silver's pirate hat.

Incumbent:

Pronunciation: in-'k&m-b&nt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin incumbent-, incumbens, present participle of incumbere to lie down on, from in- + -cumbere to lie down; akin to cubare to lie
Date: 15th century
1 : the holder of an office or ecclesiastical benefice

Yes, this helps, an ecclesiastical benefice..

"It looks like the Republicans wanted to beat me more than the Democrats wanted to keep me," said McKinney, who was seeking a sixth term. "


Yeah, well maybe because you sucked.
 
2002-08-21 08:35:31 AM
This made my morning. Bob Barr was a fark.

"Majette was dancing at campaign headquarters"

I'm dancing on my desk right now! I am so glad that Fark, barr is getting the Fark out of office. What a weasel. And to borrow from Ironbar, barr gives weasels a bad name.
 
2002-08-21 08:42:42 AM
Good riddance on both counts.
 
2002-08-21 08:43:21 AM
maybe Barr can move to San Fran and deliver pizzas to the ghettos
 
2002-08-21 08:49:19 AM
Heavens rejoice!

Barr is gone from Congress! Now I don't have to name my first born kid after Ronald Reagan.

And I no longer have to see McKinny on TV every week being an embarrassment to my party, and my people.

Congressman Bob Barr ousted along with wacko conspiricist democratic incumbent in Georgia
 
2002-08-21 08:52:56 AM
I'm disappointed. Those were two of the most entertaining people in government. Congress is going to be a lot more boring from now on.
 
2002-08-21 08:56:48 AM
Did anyone see the piece the "Daily Show" did on the D.C. mayoral campaign?

Hysterical
 
2002-08-21 08:57:01 AM
Barr got gerrymandered out of his district and had to run against a popular incumbent. No great loss.

McKinney, on the other hand, is a great loss (if you happen to be a racist, paranoic delusional - as they are now unrepresented in Congress).
 
2002-08-21 08:59:01 AM
Speaking as a Georgian and one who *was* in Barr's 7th District, this is a major relief. I actually had the "pleasure" of interviewing this man when I was a member of the press. To say he's an asshat is an understatement. I'm not too sorry to see McKinney go either, but thank God almighty, the 7th District is FREE AT LAST!
 
2002-08-21 09:02:02 AM
All of this talk about Bob Barr does make me nostalgic for Bob Dornan. Good times.
 
2002-08-21 09:06:03 AM
AssClown McKinney is out!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
 
2002-08-21 09:06:44 AM
Where's Alan Keyes and J.C. Watts when you need them?
 
2002-08-21 09:08:14 AM
Sprediletto: She is a wackjob. But she'll now get a job with Calypso Louie and run around the world spouting hatred of the white man.
 
2002-08-21 09:08:20 AM
You mean Jesus Christ Watts?
 
2002-08-21 09:10:29 AM
How can all of you be so happy about this? All the good people are out of Congress now: Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, James Traficant -- even Jesse Helms is leaving. You can't buy comedy like that.

Now, if Mass. could only get Marty Meehan to quit....
 
2002-08-21 09:14:41 AM
I know it's been said but yeah...Barr is gone. This makes my morning too.
I miss the days when Larry Flynt busted him, that was hilarious.
 
2002-08-21 09:19:05 AM
Sprediletto: You know you're in the South when the Democratic candidates blame the Jews.
 
2002-08-21 09:21:13 AM
On the one hand, it's great that they both lost.

On the other hand, it sucks. They will now both have full time to devote to whoring themselves as loud-mouthed pundits on cable news channels.

I'm not sure this is a great day for America.
 
2002-08-21 09:21:25 AM
Sprediletto:
As far as the pictures with Mckinneys' mouth?

...no
 
2002-08-21 09:22:41 AM
Good riddance to both. Unfortunately. Linder, the guy who beat Barr Is just as big of a moron, just not as loud. I live in the 4th district, maybe we can change "Cynthia McKinney Parkway" back to memorial drive now. And Sprediletto is right, those of you who are annoyed by Cynthia, would be apalled by Billy, perhaps the biggest idiot ever in Georgia politics.

I think it has more to do with blacks and Jews not getting along. I'm not sure when it started or why, but those two communities have been butting heads for a while.

Bass555 - Amen!! Actually if they rounded up all Mass pols and buried them alive somwhere out in No. Adams I would be the happiest mofo in the all of North Fall River.

I love that red slash through McKinney's face... makes her look crosseyed.

I went to McKinney's web site and she had the entire clip of her debate with Majette. BIG headline saying "Listen to the debate uncut, unedited and YOU decide who's the right canidate"

I watched the video... and she came across as a wacko, not listening to the debate coordinators, giving herself time to rebuttal rebuttals. Saying she deserves money from Saudis because she doesn't care who gives her money, as long as they give her money.

Freakin assclown
 
2002-08-21 09:28:39 AM
Cynthia McKinney is a dirtbag. She tries to use the fact that she is a black female to disguise this. Well, guess what? Not everyone bought it. Good thing.
 
2002-08-21 09:30:22 AM
Should have gotten the hero tag. Hats off to the citizens of Georgia, both Democrats and Republicans, for doing the right thing in both primaries.
 
2002-08-21 09:30:48 AM
One of my neighbors has a McKinney sign in their yard, but with a red slash through it.
 
2002-08-21 09:32:23 AM
Diogenes happy.
 
2002-08-21 09:36:20 AM
Remember that McKinney's campaign did not racially profile their contributors! However, if your were an anti-Semitic, Pro-terrorist group or person she was more than happy to take your money. I wish I could have been at her party when the 200 homeless workers hired by her campaign decided stir up some crap because they thought they might not get paid!

She's probably not so smug looking this morning!


BTW Did Billy McKinney actually spell out "J-E-W-S"?
 
2002-08-21 09:37:33 AM
black republicans = bad

black democrats = good

end sarcasm;
 
2002-08-21 09:38:34 AM
I voted for Linder. Among obvious reasons, I thought Barr was a chickenshiat and asshat for running against an incumbent republican instead of a democrat when he got gerrymandered out of his district. Take the fight to the opposition, not yourselves.

And make no mistakes - the republicans ousted cindy McScum. I know lots of folks who did the crossover. I even bought 2 of them lunch after they showed up with their "I voted" stickers.

A good day for America.
 
2002-08-21 09:39:07 AM
unfortunately, this only means that new (but still just as crappy) iceholes get to run things for awhile 8until they themselves get replaced by new retards.

seriously folks, Majette is clearly an uncle tom for the GOP (as illustrated by the large crossover vote), and Lindy is so uncommunicative that he is likely to wither away without anyone noticing.

as a former resident fo Georgia, i can only say that i am glad that i now live in the mountains of WV --- oh wait, we have Robert C. Byrd. nevermind.
 
2002-08-21 09:41:27 AM
Oh yes, someone was mysteriously calling republicans before the election and telling them that crossover voting is illegal in Ga (It is not) and that police would be at the polls vigorously enforcing the law.

I hope they investigate and bring the guilty to light.
 
2002-08-21 09:43:29 AM
Arrrrr,
 
2002-08-21 09:44:28 AM
I was watching WSB-TV lastnight and it was funny to see that Monica Kaufman and Richard Belcher were actually pulling for Cynthia McKinney. They laughed at Majette for talking like a "winner" when the southern precincts had yet to report in. Bill Nigut put ole Monica in her place! I guess Monica needs to stick to changing her hair styles and her "close-ups" and stop predicting the outcome of elections.
 
2002-08-21 09:45:23 AM
Man, it's not even November yet and I'm loving the 2002 elections...

No more Bob "Beady-Eyed-licking-whipped-cream-off-of-stripper's-nipples-suing-Clinton-for- "loss of reputation and emotional distress," Barr, no more Jesse Helms, no more Dick Armey, no more Phil Gramm...

No more Cynthia McKinney is just a very sweet bonus, kind of like the cherry on top of the sundae.

How
to beat Cynthia McKinney



Apply repeatedly until symptoms disappear.


Also recommended for her father Billy McKinney.  Now we know where she
got her charm...

Arrrr, again:
