Cynthia McKinney introduced a bill on Friday, her last day of work, to impeach President Bush. I actually think the AP reporter had it right, about it being her parting shot. It would seem to be a real dig at Nancy Pelosi, more than at Bush. McKinney's been a Bush-hater for years--no secret there. But this one's aimed right at Pelosi, who declared that impeachment proceedings against Bush would never happen on her watch.
I don't think McKinney would have dared introduce such legislation had she actually been re-elected, but now that she's out of a job, she must figure that it doesn't matter. Apparently nobody ever told her that it's a really bad idea to shoot your mouth off about your employer in an exit interview--all it does is create a reputation for being a troublemaker. As if clocking a policeman on Capitol Hill for failing to recognize her without her congressional lapel pin and calling for a federal investigation into Tupac Shakur's death hadn't already established her as a lunatic, she had to go do this on her way out the door.
