Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor to Mayor Andrew Young on Young's endorsement of McKinney: "Thanks Andy, my campaign needed that!"

According to the ajc, in endorsing U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young said:

"Congress needs controversy. The last thing we need in a democracy is people who don't think for themselves. ... I don't always agree with Cynthia McKinney, but I always agree with her right to express her opinions because that creates a dialogue that makes democracy work."

Is this an endorsement? If it is, it is one lame endorsement. In making it Young has strained his credibility and jeopardized his ability to continue meaningfully helping Mark Taylor in Taylor's quest for the governor's mansion.
