My girl Cynthia McCommie is in the news again and, as usual, it's not good news, at least for her.
Former Democratic congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of Decatur has agreed to pay $6,000 to the Federal Election Commission for violations during her failed 2006 reelection campaign, according to documents released Monday.
McCommie? A Dimocrat? Campaign violations? I'm shocked!
My AJC colleague Bob Keefe says FEC records show that McKinney and her campaign treasurer, Joan Christian, agreed to settle a case involving $21,300 in contributions from individuals and political action committees.The contributions from unnamed donors exceeded federal campaign contribution limits of $2,100 per person, according to the FEC.
Of course, the Jug Husein Ears' campaign was guilty of this also, but he's too big of a fish.
According to a conciliation agreement released Monday that was signed by an attorney for McKinney and by FEC officials, the former congresswoman also did not properly disclose receipts, reimbursements and cash it had on hand. The campaign also made numerous other errors in its finance reports.
But she's a black Dimocrat. This is obviously racist!
The FEC would have sought “a substantially higher” civil penalty in the case, according to the settlement, but didn’t because McKinney’s campaign funds were depleted. McKinney agreed to personally pay the $6,000 fine, according to records.
So she's paying the fine out of her own pocket. It's prolly money she got illegally anyway.

Her camapign funds became "depleted" when she "transferred" them to her personal account.
That, coupled with all of the campaign funds she received that she didn't report.
She ain't be takin no hit Honey!

Posted by: Grumpy Old Ham on October 20, 2009 08:08 PMI wonder how many Palestinian children in Gaza went hungry because she ate all the pork rinds while the Israelis detained her boat. If I were a journalist I'd ask her this..

Posted by: Inbredredneck on October 21, 2009 09:37 AMLook for Jesse Jackass and Al Not-So-Sharpton, and probably Charlie Rangle too, to come out and scream that McKinney is a victim of "white-instigated racism".
