Name Game
Fox News
A state lawmaker in Georgia wants to strip the name of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney from a major highway in suburban Atlanta. Republican Len Walker says Democrat McKinney "has brought embarrassment to the state of Georgia" — and cites her run-in earlier this year with a Capitol Hill police officer and her recent bill to impeach President Bush. Walker has introduced a resolution in the state assembly to change the name of "Cynthia McKinney Parkway" to its original name — Memorial Drive — in honor of 9/11 victims.
Former McKinney campaign manager John Evans calls Walker "an idiot" and says of Walker's claim that McKinney has embarrassed Georgians: "He must be talking about white folks or uppity black folks."
McKinney lost her bid for another term when she was defeated in a primary runoff last summer.
