McKinney Fails To Show Up At Two Debates</center>

Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D) failed to appear at two televised debates over the weekend, fueling criticism from two opponents who are challenging the controversial incumbent in a July 18 primary in the Georgia's 4th District.

CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY reports: DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson and architectural firm project manager John Coyne, who are challenging McKinney, debated Saturday on WSB-TV and also participated in a second debate Friday that was sponsored by the Atlanta Press Club and which will air tonight at 7 p.m. Johnson's campaign said that McKinney's absence was a "slap in the face" to her constituents.

That picture makes a great campaign commercial. If the <del>idiots</del> voters in her district give her the Democrat(ic) nomination, the Republican opponent (assuming there is one) should use the photo in his or her ads.

Yup.

Misplaced her brass knuckles, so she decided not to attend. Proper attire is everything to a woman ya know!

I think it's because they wanted to have a debate with a black, female, democrat congresswoman but she was off celebrating being an unindicted criminal defendant.

She was panciked because she lost her Bob Marley hair gel 10 minutes before the debate....
