McKinney Admits Misusing Taxpayer Money...

UPDATED: 3:57 pm EDT April 3, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney admits that she broke government rules by spending money to fly a celebrity to Atlanta.

Channel 2 Action News has uncovered documents showing McKinney, D-Ga., spent about $1,000 of taxpayer's money to fly singer Isaac Hayes to Georgia to help dedicate a new office in Atlanta.

The money came from a fund members of Congress are supposed to use for office supplies.

Using the money to pay for Hayes' airline ticket and hotel expenses is a violation of strict congressional rules. Those rules state that taxpayer money can only be used for "travel by Members, Members' employees and vendors. A vendor is an employee of a private company that provides maintenance and support for equipment and software..."

Watchdog groups call taxpayer-funded celebrity travel a blatant waste of taxpayer money.

McKinney staffers say they will reimburse the congressional fund for the cost of Hayes' flight and hotel room.

Of course, if it was Cheney or Delay it would be on the front page of every newspaper in the US.

How can people like her get any work done, they're always busy self-promoting.  

It's sad to see Chef reduced to shilling for a whiny congresswoman.  He used to be the man.

I commend her for her economy.  For a thousand bucks she flew in how many Thetans?  I mean, Isaac Hayes must be packed with those time-traveling soul munchers.  

Belafonte -- bananas
McKinney --nuts
Hayes -- scientology
Glover -- commie

Brother, you ain't kiddin'.

There's a certain two-syllable word starting with "n" that applies just perfectly to this psychotic bitch, but if I were to use it, I'd be banned, and this communist cunt just isn't worth that.

It's damned accurate in her case, though.

Looks like there is a common denominator between Atlanta and NOLA politicians.

I am sure there is more the the $1000 taxpayer money missing that she suddenly decided to 'fess-up' too...

The media will find it all, and she will be gone from office soon, I think.
