there? "Silence. Silence is not golden. It's stupid." Funniest statement I've seen on DU this morning. Guess what? Sometimes it's best not to speak. Sometimes it's best to speak. Really, how hard is that to figure out?

McKinney has every right to hold as many press conferences as she wishes. Just as I have every right to say that, in my opinion, the Friday press conference she gave, was not only a huge tactical error, it was a circus that focused unneccessary attention on the whole incident. Cynthia Tucker wrote an excellent opinion piece about why that press conference was such a mistake. Did you notice, btw, that not one member of the CBC showed up? One of the major reasons why the media was so able to exploit the whole thing, is that McKinney handed them lots of ammunition.
