The Royal Shaft
Cynthia McKinney has now admitted that she gave the taxpayers the royal shaft by spending $1,000 of their money to fly Isaac Hayes down to Atlanta to dedicate a new office building. Or did she? 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..." Now according to Dictionary.com, vendor means: n : someone who promotes or exchanges goods or services for money [syn: seller, marketer, vender, trafficker] Hrm... let's take a look at Hayes' official biography: Instead of a palace, he built an 8,000 square foot educational facility through his Isaac Hayes Foundation (IHF). He is most certainly the only King on earth with an Oscar, Grammy awards, #1 gold records, his voice on an animated tv series, a radio show, two restaurants, a best-selling cookbook, and top secret barbecue sauces. Aha. This was a trade mission for top secret barbecue sauces. Might even involve the CIA there, or at least Homeland Security to protect that recipe. Tasty enough to slap your momma, or at least a Captiol Police cop. But wait, it gets better. Scroll up a paragraph to find: In the spring 2003, one year after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and a celebrated move back home to Memphis, the public persona of Isaac Hayes is surging forward with a momentum usually associated with teen popstars and visiting royalty. In fact, Hayes is resident royalty for more than a decade, a coronated King of the Ada coastal district of Ghana in western Africa where he is a member of the Royal Family. That's right. It's not just a trade mission to protect our country's valuable barbecue sauce assets, but it's a diplomatic mission shuttling this Ghanian royalty around. Thank goodness Cynthia McKinney was there to provide transportation to Isaac Hayes, since apparently Kofi and Kojo Annan were too busy shredding documents to escort his king around. On behalf of all white people, I apologize to Cynthia McKinney... but damn, girl. Do something about that hair! 9 Responses To "The Royal Shaft"
If this is a trade mission what do we, the taxpayers, get for the sauce? And how do we know that the sauce won't be reverse engineered and the secret recipies sold to the highest bidder or leaked to the press? #1 - Posted by: adam on April 4, 2006 12:28 PMSo my tax dollars are backing the production of barbecue sauce??? Now see, THAT'S a policy I can get behind. Whatever it takes to make our meat more tasty and advanced than the rest of the world's meat, you bet!! #2 - Posted by: shimauma on April 4, 2006 01:17 PMEvery day, I get a new reason to change my tag to AlanBBQ... #3 - Posted by: AlanABQ on April 4, 2006 04:30 PMReal men don't use sauce!!! KILL and GRILL IT! WK #4 - Posted by: White Knight on April 4, 2006 04:40 PMOut of the two, I think Hayes has better hair, but Cynthia's moustache is coming along nicely. #5 - Posted by: AlanABQ on April 4, 2006 05:45 PMFirst he's a scientologist! Now he's getting comp'ed by the govrment to fly around. What the hell, next thing you know someone will be punching Capitol Police Offic..oh never mind. BTW, I just heard that she was stopped becuase she was racially profiled. That cop that attempted to stop her was a bigot who touched her inappropraitely. (Someone needs to fill her in on the proper technique for frisking a suspect. Also, I'm not aware of any black terror suspects). #6 - Posted by: Leo on April 4, 2006 06:47 PMNow if was a gravy recipe,one of us would be OK with that.Any gravy lovers out there? :) And as for Ms. McKinney,she has learned to not test a electrical outlet by sticking a cell phone in it. #7 - Posted by: DohXs on April 4, 2006 08:04 PMI want to personally thank Rep. McKinney. I have tried over the years to come up with a perfect example of minority racism. She should be the new poster-child for "Anyone can be a racist" or maybe " You too can be a bigot."
