Karl Rove planted those affluent black voters!

No more Lieberman stories for me. Let’s glance back fondly at the end of crazywoman Cynthia McKinney:

Her cheering supporters were clearly surprised by Representative Cynthia McKinney’s defeat in Tuesday’s Democratic primary runoff, but those who follow this city’s changing demographics were not.

Over the past few years, increasing numbers of affluent blacks have moved into southern DeKalb County, the base of Ms. McKinney’s district, and many were not impressed by her confrontational and occasionally erratic style.
This reminds me of the monologue of a Black Panther in “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”:

Kalinga: Yes, we marched on the Federal building. Five hundred of us young brothers, full of outrage.
[sighs]
Kalinga: They were hiring that day. The brothers came with outrage; they left with jobs. Oh, yes, whitey is very tricky.
The best laid plans of mice and men...

Dang! Too late! Better not tell you that Rove phoned Lieberman on primary day, then.

(Wonder if the phrase "stay the course" came up at any point in the conversation?)

I love it when someone says something nice about whitey.
