“On April 23, 2006, as reported by WGCL’s Renee Starzyk, McKinney forgot she was still wearing the microphone after she was interviewed about the scuffle with the police officer. Her off screen comments were captured on tape. She was heard saying, “Oh crap, now you know what… they lied to Coz and Coz is a fool.”[28] She was referring to one of her aides, Coz Carson. McKinney realized the embarrassing mistake and returned on screen with the microphone, this time with instructions on what parts of the interview CBS 46 was allowed to use, “anything that is captured by your audio…that is captured while I’m not seated in this chair is off the record and is not permissible to be used… is that understood?” Her comments were aired on CBS and eventually across the nation.”

Here’s a clue for you Cynthia…take off, or turn off your fucking microphone! And, failing that, don’t try to act like the Marie Antoinette of DeKalb County.

FUCK YEAH!!!

I was so fucking mad at that rat bastard for what he did to Cynthia McKinney. After everything she’s done for the progressive cause and all battles she’s had to fight and all the shit she’s had to endure for the high crime of being Black, and he has the fucking nerve to call her a “nutjob”? Shiiiiit. Fuck you, John. And to think I actually donated money to your site last year when Atrios put out the call on your behalf. If I had only known your true “colors”.

fish? Are you and Aravosis the same person?

Oh, you did.

YOU DID!

It could be like a mini RPG. Help Jon choose what he’ll be buying with all the money you just sent him. In fact, he could charge monthly, and call it an MMORPG, just make it one huge chat room with people writing their suggestions in all caps.

Inside, a Google Maps animation allows readers to follow John on his travels throughout Europe and North America, with occasional prompts to Americablog visitors to make donations of various denominations (indicated whenever there is an imminent purchase of a rare hothouse bulb suite by John at an orchid festival in Holland, the dinner bill coming due at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, an urgent need for crisp $100 bills at an impromptu coke session in Cannes, etc. etc.)
