Perhaps the rest of the world doesn’t know the supreme power and importance of former U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney. The Israeli Navy certainly doesn’t, since they nearly sunk the pleasure boat (aka relief vessel) she was riding in as it tried to evade the Israeli Navy blockade.
Of course, they may have not seen her with all of the other people on board, such as doctors, nurses, and other aid workers. That is understandable, and certainly gives McKinney the right to blame the Israeli Navy for seeking out their pleasure craft on a mission of aid to attack.
Oh, get over yourself Cynthia. You have absolutely no room to blame anyone except yourself for being rammed by the Israeli Navy ship. You were on a ship that was attempting to break through a military blockade. HELLO!? I would have been fine reading a story about how the Navy had sunk your vessel and you had drowned. Perhaps the story should have included a few warning shots followed by a missile into the fuel tank of your vessel. That would have gotten a chuckle out of me for sure. In the words of President Bush: Bring her to justice.
You see, former Rep. McKinney earned herself a bad name in my book by showing up in headline after headline that proved one thing: That Cynthia McKinney believes she is superior to everyone else. She proved that when she assaulted a Capitol Hill police officer — because he asked to see her ID. My GOD, who did he think he was dealing with? It was obviously the vastly superior Cynthia McKinney (THE Cynthia McKinney) that was in his presence. He should have run in front of her with a broom and swept away any dirt that may have contacted her shoe. Instead, he chose to do his job, like he had done for every other Congressman and Congresswoman that entered the building every single day.
It seemed that every few months there would be another headline about Cynthia breaking some law or generally being a nuisance and blaming others because they didn’t know who she was.
So, to say that Cynthia McKinney didn’t know that what she was doing was illegal, or that she believed that she had the moral right to accompany the other lawbreakers trying to undermine the Israeli Government would be giving her the benefit of doubt. There should be no doubt why she was on that boat: She believed she was above the law, above the Israeli Government, and above the Israeli Navy. For that, I would have chuckled to see a headline portraying her demise. Maybe another day will see her foolishness lead her to glory.
Although the others on that vessel were supreme idiots for attempting to break a navy blockade, I haven’t heard the same idiotic comments about the meanness of the Israeli Navy flowing from their mouths. They should count themselves lucky to have been able to get the boat to shore. Perhaps they should consider appealing to Hamas to end the bloodshed so that the Palestinians will finally be able to have a peaceful life. But, that’s a discussion for another post…
For now, I’ll leave it at the Israeli Navy should have sunk former Rep. McKinney.
