Cynthia McKinney is at it again. The former Congresswoman, political gadfly and alleged cop-hitter is soliciting donations to her campaign committee to help retire campaign debt. (See her solicitation on our screen grab below.)

But there's only one problem: Her campaign actually ended the year with a $25,000 surplus! Or so the Associated Press reports, at any rate. The AP adds that a former campaign manager for McKinney was unable to account for the discrepancy between what the campaign thinks and what is reflected in FEC records.

So does this suggest the possibility of less-than-kosher activity on McKinney's part? The AP provides a partial answer: "Campaign finance experts say it's possible McKinney could have late-arriving bills that didn't show up before the report was filed. But because McKinney lost in a primary runoff in August, that would be an unusually long lag." We'll be checking into this further.
