Wonkette Exclusive Video: Cynthia McKinney Sings and Fights Disturbing and hilarious. As CNN reported earlier this morning, "Congresswoman McKinney appears to be the only person in the audience who knows the words to this song." From the Associated Press: Despite her defeat, McKinney was unbowed, unleashing a stemwinder of a concession speech in which she barely mentioned her opponent but praised leftist leaders in Cuba and Venezuela, took aim at the efficacy of electronic voting machines and offered several swipes at the media.
“Members of the press, as well as our political leaders, don’t give us explanations that explain, or conclusions that conclude,” McKinney said. “There comes a time when people of conscience are compelled to dissent.”
Before she began her remarks, she played the song “Dear Mr. President,” an anti-Bush anthem by Pink, and sang along, somewhat out of tune, with its critical lyrics.
