Cynthia McKinney’s boat sinks*.

(Via Israel Matzav) The boat being the “Dignity,” which was a blockade runner supporting Hamas that tried to bull its way through the Israeli’s interdiction of Gaza, and discovered that when wood meets steel, wood gives way. Anyway, it’s at the bottom of the Mediterranean now:

‘Free Gaza’ Leftist Ship Capsized

(IsraelNN.com) A boat used by the leftist “Free Gaza” organization to challenge Israel’s sovereignty over Gaza waters capsized on Monday. The ship, Dignity, was used “to protest the embargo” imposed by the IDF as a means of preventing Hamas terrorists from importing weaponry.

The group’s spokesperson, Ramzi Kysia, said that the 66-foot (20 meter) length boat capsized due to poor weather conditions. He added that he does not suspect that the boat was sabotaged in any way.

I don’t know if ‘sabotaged in any way’ is quite accurate, though. I would personally say that ‘owned and crewed by people who voluntarily have inserted their thumb in their anus’ qualifies.

*No, she wasn’t on it; and you should be ashamed of yourself if you hoped that she was. Not nice of you, even if she is a babbling anti-Semitic lunatic.

Note that it’s perfectly acceptable to hope that her life savings were on that boat. Or maybe her laptop. Essentially, anything not actually alive.

    yeah, you’re right, I should be ashamed.

    But I’m not.

    Eco-sailors rescued by oil tanker

    No summary I could offer would do that article justice. It’s a riot!

    But enough about Cynthia.

    Investigators theorize that the ballast shifted during heavy seas, causing a large, abandoned suitcase full of garish clothing to crash through the hull.

    Heck, we could call it a “late term abortion” and slide by.

    If the late night comics weren’t lefty loons, they would all have a blast with that one.

    And the name of the boat – the Fleur – just reeks of salty old sailor types.

    Just the best.
