Former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney has decided to run for President of the United States on the Green Party ticket. She is a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq and believes that both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to corrupt corporate interests.

McKinney calls the Green Party “my new political home” in a recent video she posted to the Internet. She is almost unrecognizable in the video, as she has tamed down her normally wild hairdo — a hairdo that received much mocking during her time on Capitol Hill.

McKinney was voted out of office in 2006 after she visibly fought with a Capitol Hill police officer who didn’t recognize her as a member of Congress when she tried to scoot through a security checkpoint.
