In which Hot Air does its part to promote a new Nader-ing of the Democratic Party. Expectations are low but with demagoguery about “the racism that leveled [New Orleans]” in the mix, there’s always a chance. Click it, watch it, send it to a soft-headed progressive you love. Preferably one who lives in a swing state.
Alas for poor Cynthia, Ron Paul’s already drawn heavily from one of her core constituencies.

That flag–what country’s flag is that, anyway?–is giving me a headache. And what’s up with the cabbage pinned to her jacket?
Michelle on December 20, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Maybe the cabbage is for the green party?
nosliwelyk on December 20, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Where can I donate?
JayHaw Phrenzie on December 20, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Oh Michelle… your comment is much kinder than the one knocking around in my head at the moment.
D2Boston on December 20, 2007 at 1:30 PM
I don’t know how she gets out of bed in the morning if she really believes what she said-what a depressing world she inhabits.
tikvah on December 20, 2007 at 1:31 PM
I read somewhere, that Paul and McKinney voted together 80% of the time.
jp on December 20, 2007 at 1:32 PM
I guess she had to wear something green.
That yellow (backbone) suit fits her well
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 1:32 PM
Wow, that was really funny. I’m still laughing. Just one question though…Where was The Onion logo?
Oldnuke on December 20, 2007 at 1:35 PM
Oh please be viable!
Vizzini on December 20, 2007 at 1:35 PM
That sounds funny.
nosliwelyk on December 20, 2007 at 1:35 PM
I thought a hurricane leveled Chocolate City.
Perhaps it was a racist hurricane.
And she forgot to mention jihadists among the casualties. They’re moms and dads too.
OK, I made it to 2:12. Let me know if you can beat that.
saint kansas on December 20, 2007 at 1:35 PM
I coulda swore there was this hurricane that levelled New Orleans. Had no idea that it was wearing bedsheets.
Spc Steve on December 20, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Did she consider the barrel of oil it took to power that 60 inch Plasma behind her?
Limerick on December 20, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Oh Yeah, I forgot. What can we do about those racist hurricanes, and will this rampant environmental racism spread to tornadoes too?
Oldnuke on December 20, 2007 at 1:37 PM
I think it’s an expression of her support for Michael Chertoff’s work.
FloatingRock on December 20, 2007 at 1:40 PM
I made it all the way through, hell I was hopin’ for more. C’mon it was hill-arious. Lord I hope she really runs, how many nutroots votes will she siphon off?
Oldnuke on December 20, 2007 at 1:40 PM
SHe is running but hasnt won the green nomination yet. However the democrats will move heaven and earth to keep the green party off the ballot
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 1:41 PM
Anyone else notice that she said “President of the U-nine-ted States”?
E-freakin-gads…talk about a truther nutbag! She has every right to run, but honestly, she’s only speaking to a select few people out there. Waaaay out there. Fringe politics indeed.
DakRoland on December 20, 2007 at 1:42 PM
Power to the People!!
Wait! Green Party?
She’s smokin’ the “green”, if you ask me.
Green is the new black?
ej_pez on December 20, 2007 at 1:44 PM
What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
- Dan Quayle
MB4 on December 20, 2007 at 1:44 PM
Read the comments onthe youtube site. The truthers love her to death.
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 1:45 PM
Funny as all heck.
It brought a smile to my face.
asc85 on December 20, 2007 at 1:46 PM
“It’s about time, it’s about space, it’s about Cynthia’s communist face.” She’s not Green, she’s Red.
Drum on December 20, 2007 at 1:48 PM
I just thought we should do a “Draft Paul/McKinney 08″ Ticket just to
A) watch the black Panther element of McKinney’s campaign explode
b) Watch the Stormfront element of Ron Paul explode
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 1:50 PM
What’s her slogan? “McKinney–For the people that are too crazy for Ron Paul”?
Of course, the fallacy there is that no one is too crazy for Ron Paul. Or too Nazi.
ReubenJCogburn on December 20, 2007 at 1:51 PM
These people are impossible to parody anymore.
Because you just can’t tell the difference between the parody, and what they actually say.
I agree with South Park. 25% of the country (the Truthers) is officially retarded.
Hawkins1701 on December 20, 2007 at 1:51 PM
And why isn’t she wearing that other jacket?
baldilocks on December 20, 2007 at 1:51 PM
I just want to see her punch someone.
They missed an opportunity with the video. They should have had Tanya Harding come into the video toward the end and the two of them could have rumbled.
Gregor on December 20, 2007 at 1:52 PM
This clip is long as Hades.
baldilocks on December 20, 2007 at 1:53 PM
Lawdy, lawdy. Color me astonished.
Zero ideas.
90% stale talking points, 10% new blathering drivel.
I like the buzz cut though.
fogw on December 20, 2007 at 1:54 PM
God! A walking, talking Green “carbon emission”.
hillbillyjim on December 20, 2007 at 1:56 PM
She probably just has her fro tied back.
baldilocks on December 20, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Her strong stance against violence should add credibility to the Green plank of Surrender At Any Cost.
pat on December 20, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Soylent Green – I’m not just the President, I’m also a raw material.
Kini on December 20, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Ok, can someone fill me in, Cynthia McKinney, the name rings a bell, but what exactly is she known for?? Besides preachy sermons…? …
4shoes on December 20, 2007 at 2:00 PM
LOL!
hillbillyjim on December 20, 2007 at 2:01 PM
Best quote I have ever seen to paint the green party with
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 2:02 PM
Attacking the Capitol cop?
hillbillyjim on December 20, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Well, she once punched a Capitol Hill Police Officer. And when she lost her Congressional seat, her Dad blawed the “J-E-W-S”!
That’s about it, really.
Jack M. on December 20, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Arrrrrrrrgh! I had to stop it. I feel violated after watching three minutes of that drivel. Off to the showers…
Swinehound on December 20, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Hmm, no American flag? Green Party’s gone digital.
gabriel sutherland on December 20, 2007 at 2:04 PM
I can’t even watch that… something about that woman… She’s one of the few people I think I might truly “hate”.
RightWinged on December 20, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Blawed = Blamed above.
I’m not dyslexic. I really do think Clapton = Dog.
Jack M. on December 20, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Ok, thanks for the reminder, hillbilly and Jack, now I remember. Egads, and she’s running for prez, hilarious!
4shoes on December 20, 2007 at 2:06 PM
I just thought you were speaking ebonics
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 2:08 PM
I will pay big money to see this dingbat lock horns with Hilary.
Just visualized what that might look like-scared the heck out of me-so, never mind.
RMR on December 20, 2007 at 2:10 PM
I have to swallow my hate. Must swallow my hate. Stuff it. Down, Down. Deep down. Ahh…There…that’s gona make a nice tumor.
ronsfi on December 20, 2007 at 2:10 PM
Rosie O now has a dilemma on her hands- not only concerning who to vote for, but possible being replaced on Hot Air by the one woman who can out-insane her.
Hollowpoint on December 20, 2007 at 2:18 PM
Now if only her supporters could get unbuckled and released long enough to vote…
GoodBoy on December 20, 2007 at 2:19 PM
i cant believe i watched the whole thing.
what a nuckin fut…
trailortrash on December 20, 2007 at 2:23 PM
Consider this Georgias gift to the United States. Jimmy Carter is getting long in the tooth.
Merry Christmas y’all
LakeRuins on December 20, 2007 at 2:23 PM
Hey, I think Cynthia could raise alot of money by scheduling pay-per-view boxing matches with law enforcement.
Isn’t her record 1-0 on a TKO?
burnitup on December 20, 2007 at 2:24 PM
If she teams up with PETA we are all in for an eye opener.
Limerick on December 20, 2007 at 2:25 PM
I made 1:29 of it.
I noticed her hair doesn’t look like she chased a fart through a wind storm anymore, that something I guess.
leanright on December 20, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Well, they are partial to dogs.
leanright on December 20, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Interestingly I went over to the DU to see if there was any Mention of McKinney running. But TPTB have kept that message from hitting their forums.
Dont want Dems singing green praises
William Amos on December 20, 2007 at 2:40 PM
Has she punched anyone or has her father stabbed anyone lately? Only in America can a dumb as a stump racist psychopath get kicked out of congress and run for president.
peacenprosperity on December 20, 2007 at 2:47 PM
How will Oprah decide now?
JiangxiDad on December 20, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Damn “inherent racism” has kept her down.
JiangxiDad on December 20, 2007 at 2:59 PM
My condolences to the “Green Party”.
Jonas Parker on December 20, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Always been a great idea to announce your campaign for POTUS before you announce your candidacy for it.
Nice to see Cynthia standing up for the ‘disfranchised’ greenies though. Or were those ‘dissed french fries’? Still not sure.
Teddy on December 20, 2007 at 3:09 PM
Of course, she neglects to mention the message was partially directed at her to go away.
SouthernDem on December 20, 2007 at 3:17 PM
Heh. They must have increased her meds recently.
I was waiting for the inner rage to break through the controlled reading of the statement, but it never quite emerged. You could feel the tension, however.
With luck, she’ll be the gift that keeps on giving.
bofh on December 20, 2007 at 3:26 PM
Oh man, I hope this doesn’t mean that Nader isn’t going to run.
Another thought – she’s not much less qualified than several current Dem candidates – her mental illness notwithstanding. She certainly does the black gospel sermon delivery thing better than Hillary or Obama, and that’s practically required of every top-teir Dem candidate right now.
Way to go anti-semite, Greens.
Dork B. on December 20, 2007 at 3:27 PM
I’m hoping she gets the nomination. It’s gotta siphon off nutroot voters from the Dems.
petefrt on December 20, 2007 at 3:35 PM
Yeah, but Nader did that very well. I don’t think she has the same amount of appeal within that party. If she is the Green candidate, I hope at least she gets the entire Nation of Islam to vote for her instead of Hillary or Obama.
Girlfriend is crazy.
Dork B. on December 20, 2007 at 3:38 PM
Not nearly enough, but every little is a gain.
Bob's Kid on December 20, 2007 at 3:45 PM
I wish someone would let me know what my “fair share” is to rebuilding New Orleans. Then, I could just send my check in and be done with it…
What a bunch of crap.
Babs on December 20, 2007 at 3:50 PM
I can’t find the link now, but I thought I had read that he has endorsed Edwards, and agreed not to run. It’s a pity, but the white-hot hatred the Dems have for him since ‘00 must have worn him down.
Hannibal Smith on December 20, 2007 at 3:51 PM
Racist.
That sums it up.
madmonkphotog on December 20, 2007 at 3:55 PM
There is institutionalized racism in this country and it has made her what she is, but it’s not what she thinks.
Personally, I think that assuming that a person who has brown skin cannot be responsible for his/her own self–education, the law, housing, jobs, etc.–is the most insidious form of racism. And no lie, it’s sure as heck institutionalized at every level in this country.
Bob's Kid on December 20, 2007 at 3:59 PM
Who is the genius that told her to wear a mustard-yellow dress?
And stand in front of a psychedelic monitor.
And do goofy things with her hands.
Jeesh.
Always Right on December 20, 2007 at 4:23 PM
Sesame Street News asked Kermit the Frog for comment……..
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on December 20, 2007 at 4:29 PM
I envision a Cynthia-Mother Sheehan ticket. Two boogers that America can get off it’s collective finger.
swami on December 20, 2007 at 4:30 PM
Man, this is gonna be good – I can just tell!
mojo on December 20, 2007 at 4:30 PM
I’m with the latter…that was so funny (I busrt out laughing when she talked about Ohio) and I really want to watch mor of this woman drone on and on…This is some realy funny stuff!
I was going to suggest a Cythia McKinney Minute on HotAir every morning…it would certainly brighten up my day!
JetBoy on December 20, 2007 at 4:32 PM
Where’s her legendary hair? Who would Osama vote for?
RobCon on December 20, 2007 at 4:34 PM
Her Platform…
Open Borders
Appease the Terrorist
Punch a Cop.
saltydogg14 on December 20, 2007 at 4:52 PM
Color me in general agreement with Taranto and opinionjournal.
Except I kinda like fruitcake for Christmas so I’m looking forward to Cynthia McCrazy’s Presidential run.
gekkobear on December 20, 2007 at 4:53 PM
Damn, toward the end I was listening and I hear Ace’s snark in my head.
Her quote:
“If you believe in rebuilding New Orleans; and in fighting the racism that leveled that city; and that witnesses enduring devastation along the entire Gulf Coast of our country… Come home to the Green Party”.
What I hear in the voice my mind uses for Ace…
“Yeah, New Orleans was leveled by racism, and a Hurricane; mostly the Hurricane”
gekkobear on December 20, 2007 at 4:57 PM
Congratu;ations to all of you who watched the whole thing. You are better men & women than I.
Question: Did her eyes eventually pop out of her head? Please advise.
thegreatbeast on December 20, 2007 at 5:12 PM
Green? Are those gun toting thugs that pretend to be DC cops gonna be her bodyguard again? They looked like a Global Warming crew huh.
malkinmania on December 20, 2007 at 5:28 PM
Alright…who told her to tame down that wild eyed look with the wild peacock hairdo? She’s boring now.
malkinmania on December 20, 2007 at 5:29 PM
No they didn’t. Toward the end though they were looking at different things at the same time. Most disconcerting.
Oldnuke on December 20, 2007 at 6:12 PM
What a horrid orator.
Like a corrections officer who hates kids having to teach a kindergarten class.
Her hand gestures seemed so casual, so warm and inviting… and unFORCED.
christophercube on December 20, 2007 at 6:25 PM
What gives some people such a sense of aggrandisement? This woman is flagellum on a mission. I believe her family is relieved she’s gone campaigning.
Entelechy on December 20, 2007 at 6:49 PM
she is saving that to roll up in a blunt later .
Mojack420 on December 20, 2007 at 6:55 PM
well there’s 7 minutes of my life I will never get back.
My head hurts
racist hurricanes, stolen elections, talking point, green, talking point, green.
when will the never ending stupidity of this woman stop?
jdsmith0021 on December 20, 2007 at 7:03 PM
Isn’t Bill Clinton a member of this particular political party?
Oh, wait… the Green Party? I thought you said “the Groin Party.”
radjah shelduck on December 20, 2007 at 7:16 PM
“One year ago on election day, the American people sent an unmistakable message.”
Yes, that nutjobs like you don’t belong in Congress.
mesablue on December 20, 2007 at 8:22 PM
1:29 of shear brillance. I’d bet your mind is made
up and there’s no changing it. LOLOL
Texyank on December 20, 2007 at 8:58 PM
Could anyone be more miserable than her?
It probably squirts green beer at people.
Zorro on December 20, 2007 at 9:06 PM
Wasn’t she the one that thought the lunar landings were on Mars?
JellyToast on December 20, 2007 at 10:55 PM
WHY are we giving ANY coverage about Cynthia McKinney? Even the Democratic Party itself dumped her and maneuvered her out of Congress. She’s as gone as Eugene McCarthy. And good riddance!
DavePa on December 21, 2007 at 2:02 AM
She found a comb!
imshocked on December 21, 2007 at 5:51 AM
Her eyes are beautiful, they must be, they keep looking at each other.
