Not that this needs anymore attention, but.... just WHO are you fighting for Ms. McKinney?
This
Cynthia McKinney thing seems more important than Tom Delay's un-ethical actions. Rush Limpbaugh actually had Delay on his show yesterday and Delay stated that he was considering filing ETHICS charges against her in the house,, OH the Hypocrisy!! And the Media continues to follow the stupidity. The Media is making this sound more important than Immigration, more important than the NSA Wiretapping, more important than the blond girl that is missing from Aruba!!!
Discussing this today, I have found out that Ms. McKinney has recently changed her hairstyle, one of the reasons given for the Capitol Hill Policeman's inability to recognizing her and then acting to stop her from entering the Capitol Building. If you dont know, she "punched" a Capitol Hill Police officer after he attempted to get her attention as she bypassed the metal detector at Capitol Sercurity. The asked her to stop and when she did not, the officer reached his arm around her to stop her from proceeding. She was NOT wearing her Congressional Pin ID which is the only ID that is required for a Congressperson to enter that Capitol.
This whole hairstyle thing got me thinking about the bigger picture.. I then started to think about how artists very often reflect the nature of the times and current events. And sometimes, things artists say decades or even centuries ago are very relevent to the here and the now.
"I changed my hairstyle, so many times now, I don't know what I look like!"One of the best lines from "Life during wartime" an interestingly titled Talking Heads song from 1979. Although the verse seems to ramble a bit, it does add to what the title may be trying to say. War is chaotic, war is serious and war may exist all around you, in inner-city America. What has changed since 1979? Why do our politicians continue to ignore real AMERICAN problems right here IN America?
One thing is certain. Cynthia McKinney should know that, regardless of her hairstyle, she has been elected as a representative of a fairly large number of the American people, and as such, she has a duty to act in a manner which respects that poisition of representation. I certainly would not accept my United States Represtative to the US House of Congress acting in this manner.
Should
ANY of us accept this??
