Disgraced former congresswoman and conspiracy theorist Cynthia McKinney made her debut as a visiting professor at Cornell University this week.
Based on press reports, it did not go well for the woman who became (in)famous by spouting "iconspiracy theories about Jews and whites plotting to murder people and prevent her re-election [and] claims was that the Bush administration had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks."
According to the Cornell Daily Sun, not only was there a poor turnout for her widely publicized lecture on U.S. politics, but students attending called her "incoherent" and said she "did an absolutely dreadful job in answering the questions."
Perhaps most shocking about McKinney's failure to connect with her audience is the location: an Ivy League school that is normally considered a hot bed of liberalism.
Given this dreadful performance, and apathetic (and sometimes hostile) turnout from what should have been her core constituency, one has to wonder if McKinney has finally risen to her level of incompetence and might soon (but not soon enough) exit the public stage once and for all.
