Frankly, the whole case is ridiculous. Was anybody harmed? Did this guy really need to press charges? Was it really not motivated by some political agenda?
That said, the old addage 'its not the crime, its the cover up' is something that still concerns me. If truly, she is trumping up these counter charges just to try to get her own ass out of the sling, she is acting way inaproppriately for a person of her position, and should be treated as such non-partisanly.
Is Cynthia Mickiney a known racist? I'm going to abstain from taking your characterization as cannon because she's never given me any such indication from the interviews and conversations I've seen her take part in. If you have a specific article as to that fact, I would find that interesting reading.
Same goes for Tom Delay and Matresses. I mean, I believe it, but I'll withold judgement until I see some hard evidence.
I am glad you could give a rat's ass about what party did this and what party did that. It truly is heartening that there are still people out there that look at the crime and not the button on the lapel. I'll look forward to some of your scathing articles on the Bush wiretapping and the Valerie Plame leak. You've probably got something in the archives about Randy Cunningham. You're right, these aren't partisan issues, and politicians should not be considered above the law.
Cynthia is a nut case and a racist. That's well known in her home district ( where I live ) by everyone. Sorry, there's no ONE article I can post , but she pulled this cry wolf stunt before, when Bill Clinton was in office. She went to the White House and *claimed * she was being treated like the hired help, and that her white assistant ( no issues there, huh Cynthia ?) was treated as a member of Congress. I say she's paranoid and obssessed w/ being treated as royalty.
There's more, but time to go.

Righteous9, you rock. This Congresswoman's actions were a publicity stunt that worked. It had nothing to do with her being a horrible, filthy, shiftless, (dare I say it) Liberal (SHUDDER,) and everything to do with her being an obscure politician looking for some free facetime on TV. She was being a jerk. Period.
There is never a shortage of jerks inside the Beltway, all you gotta do is look. We have a VP who SHOT someone in the face, and hid out from the cops for a while afterward. We have a Chief of Staff who had an active CIA officer outed as payback for her husband's legitimate objections to the President's fabrications regarding another country, and we had an Attorney General who personally backed away from his reponsiblity to investigate the incident. We reelected the only administration in US history to push for and GET a tax cut in the middle of a war. Actually two wars. A senior official in the recently formed Homeland Security bureaucracy was just busted for soliciting sex from what he believed to be a fourteen year old girl. The pharmaceutical and oil lobbies, two heavyweight special-interest Republican campaign contributors and two usually heavily regulated industries in the US, are posting the largest annual profits ever despite a natural disaster that damaged US production capacity for both industries. A natural disaster that was badly mishandled by a FEMA Director the President publicly praised right before hanging him out to dry.
Does this mean all Republicans are evil, like all those vile Liberals obviously are? John McCain is, I believe, a man of integrity. Pat Robertson, who is at best incredibly irresponsible and at worst some kind of mentally ill, wrecked McCain's first Presidential bid and Republican rank and file went along with it.
I'll start believing in a generalized aura of Republican integrity when Pat Robertson donates all his personal and ministry assets to the Southern Poverty Law Center - it's got that whole "least of my brethren" thing mixed with the "root of all evil" thing, oughta play well with the heavy hitters in Heaven, dontcha think?
Speaking of racism, remember the Willy Horton ad? Yeah, I always figured that was some sorta Liberal plot to discredit the party which used that ad to help win an election. It almost worked, too - good thing we's too smart fer 'em. Them Librals, they's sneaky, ya gotta watch 'em.
I could go on all day, but you get the point. Dirty, rotten, lowdown Liberals (may Our Blessed Savior Jesus curse their names and make fire to rain down on their heathenous and vaguely-defined-but-politically-useful-in-a-jingoistic-sort-of-way heads, Amen)do not have a corner on racist, irresponsible, duplicitous or idiotic behavior.
Liberals and conservatives just tend to have different blind spots. McCain and Powell are two good Republicans who have both been chewed up and spit out by the some of the worst elements of their own party. Paul Wellstone was, and Russ Feingold is a good example of a decent, conscientious, hardworking Liberal Democrat politician. One's dead and sorely missed by his constituents, and the other is probably about to be chewed up and spat out by the worst elements of his own party.
Weird game.

Hey AURaptor there was an article in yesterday's Richmond Times Dispatch about how McKinney is now under fire for using her Congressional credit card (taxpayer money) to pay for a singer to be contracted, flown in, and put up in a hotel for a fund raiser. Of course now that the spot light is on this inappropriate use of the taxpayers money she is feigning ignorance claiming she did not know it was wrong & is claiming she will pay the money back.
This McKinney is a real piece of work. Too bad she is an example of the majority on the Hill and not the minority.
Got to love the corrupt american political system.

What a dodge. No one asked for "The" definitive article about her racism. Just one. And if there are sooo many, as you imply, it shouldn't be a problem to provide a single link to back your claims.

Theres a word for the day that AURaptor backs something (s)he posts rather than just insulting everyone and falling back on to baseless rhetoric.
Doomsday I believe it's called.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Yeah. ALGore should never have run that add during the 1988 Democratic primaries. It was wrong.
Or maybe it was wrong to let Mr. Horton out of jail to commit another crime. 1988 was a long time ago, its hard to remember which liberal Democrat was wrong back then...especially since they were all wrong to one degree or another, and still are.

True of just about every politician, Liberal or Conservative.

Do you live in the 4the District? I'm guessing NOT.
Anyyway, I wasn't doing any dodge, but if it makes you feel better to say, fine by me. It was 6 am here and i was out the door for work. Sorry I didn't cut into my work schedule to give you what is widely known and can easily be found on Google.

Yeah, I heard that too. It was Isaac Hayes - aka 'CHEF', of South Park fame. It's a nice double whammy for the embattled McKinney. And as I was out today, I heard 'Clubber' Cynthia apologize, of sorts, on the House floor. With an impending arrest warrant coming her way, she did about the best she could on her comments. Only one thing, her prior divisive, antagonistic comments she made all week before kinda makes anything she says now a moot point.
