Hava nagila venis'mecha, bitches

As many of you (or at least the ones from/in Georgia) know, Cyn+hia McKinney was defeated in her primary. I am, as they say, pleased as punch.

It should come as no surprise that I absolutely loath that woman. And not because she's a Democrat. More because she's an anti-Semitic, race-baiting, ignorant, conspiracy-theorizing, partisan hack. In my humble opinion, she's an embarrassment to her race, her state and her party. All of which should be glad to see go.

Perhaps what irked me most about her was her utter arrogance and self-importance. She seemed to think spouting conspiracy theories and tactless attacks constituted "speaking truth to power," as she put it. As if it made her a hero. Please. Everybody and dey momma hates Bush and says mean things about him. Saying it on TV doesn't make you brave or special. It makes you petty. Get over yourself.

Not that I needed any more motivation, but the incident between her and the Capitol police officer only further cemented my disdain. She was just so flabbergasted that the officer didn't recognize her that she found it appropriate to physically assault him. Apparently not taking into account that she was not wearing her security clearance pin, had drastically changed her hairstyle and is, according to congress.org, the 408th most powerful person in the House. Not exactly prominent. For a little perspective, roughly 96 percent of people in the House are more important than she is. She's 120 slots LOWER than D.C.'s delegate who doesn't even get to vote. That's some pretty mind-boggling ineffectiveness.

In typical McKinney fashion, the failure of her campaign is being blamed on everyone and everything except for the candidate. Republicans. Voting machines. The Jews?

Yes, the Jews. She also blamed the Jews for her loss in 2002, so this is nothing new. Apparently, in addition to being responsible for all the wars in the world, some Jews still took time out of their busy day of controlling the media and hoarding all the world's money to vote Cyn+hia McKinney out of office.

After her concession speech, one of her campaign staffers had the following exchange with a news producer:

"You wanna know why she lost? Israel. Zionists. People like you. Put your yarmulke on and celebrate."

I think I might. Good riddance.
