Kesher Talk

Cynthia McKinney still might go Green: When the party’s presidential exploratory committee put out feelers to Greens around the country about whom they wanted to run for president, the number of recommendations Cynthia McKinney received was second only to those for Ralph Nader. The anti-American and anti-Israeli McKinney, a former Democratic US representative from Georgia who lost to Judge Denise Majette in a primary challenge last August (Majette eventually defeated Republican Cynthia van Auken in the general election), has yet to change her party affiliation or indicate she’s willing to run as a Green. But the Greens want her. Her name was high on a list of potential candidates compiled by the national Green Party (other names included MSNBC talk-show host Phil Donahue, actress Susan Sarandon, and filmmaker Michael Moore).

It is true that the Greens run anti-American and anti-Israeli anyway. But that they would make this issue more important to them than environmental issues... well, let's say it doesn't make them look any better than they already do...
