Cynthia McKinney, come home!
April 2, 2008 at 9:22 am by Thomas Wheatley in Not-lantaAn altweekly that loves it some homegrown characters needs you!
The former U.S. Congresswoman from DeKalb County — who now resides in the heady hills of California and is running for president as a Green Party candidate — spoke at an event in the Golden State sponsored by Project Censored. Fun crazy talk was uttered!
- “For those of you who know about the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, everything you think you know isn’t true. It’s a lie.â€
- “Georgia isn’t the most advanced place. I’ll be like Hillary [Clinton], trying to retract that in a minute.â€
- “Bush said he was clicking around on the Internet. Well, Spitzer was clicking around, too, all over America.â€
- “I’ve learned so much on so many issues since I’ve been here in California about the forest fires and how the forest fires might not be unpurposeful events. That there is a purpose. A public policy purpose that comes at the end of a forest fire experience that allows developers to go into pristine areas where they were previously denied access.â€
To be fair, I don’t know if I can fault her for that second statement.

Does anyone else want to start a “I woke up to the voice of Thomas Wheatley (on/off the radio)” support group?
I’ve been rocking back and forth in a corner of my bedroom since sun up and can’t stop shaking.

I am EVERYWHERE, decaturite. Please be on the look out for my new billboard campaign as well as the leaflets I’ll drop from my crop duster this weekend.

I can attest that Mr. Wheatley is indeed everywhere. His coverage has been prolific and a benefit to CL and its readers. The editorial staff is fortunate to have him on board.
I too caught a bit of this morning’s segment on WABE, and only wish the call-out of Rep. S. Davis for his Golden Sleaze Award had made the broadcast.
