Disclosure
I admire the thought that Jim Henley at Unqualified Offerings has put into the Cynthia McKinney story. (That's here, here, here, and here. And the AJC breaks the story here, although they don't mention where they must have heard of it. Ah, well.)

It needs to be said:
Arab-Americans have as much right to try to buy Congresspeople as Jack Valenti does.

Can't argue with that. However,

Something tells me Arab-American organizations get McKinney for free.

That seems credible, too. That is to say, her mouth came first. She isn't an idiot because she's getting Muslim money, she's getting Muslim money because she's an idiot. Somehow, that doesn't seem to reflect well on anybody involved.
