What a Party!by John Hinderaker
This hilarious account is from the New York Post's Page Six gossip column. The item is titled "Booted From Forbidden Aisle": Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) and Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) got to the floor of the Capitol early and staked out seats reserved for Democratic senators. "Since none of these Democrats over there [in the Senate] filibustered Alito, why can't we have these seats?" Jackson argued. "That makes sense to me," McKinney replied, according to Roll Call columnist Mary Ann Akers. "Jackson went back to his office, leaving McKinney to protect the seats until showtime," the D.C. weekly reports. "Three hours after Jackson got back to his office, though, his cellphone rang." It was a "frantic" McKinney saying that sergeant-at-arms staffers were kicking her out of the seats. Jackson rushed to the floor and argued for "a few tense moments," but Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) prevailed. Jackson told Roll Call he needed his face on TV....
I think one of the Republicans' real problems is that it's too easy to look good compared to the Democrats. For the country's sake, that isn't a high enough standard. Posted by John at 02:06 PM | Permalink

A video tape of Cynthia McKinney getting evicted would be a jewel of a show, I can just imagine her indignation.

Jackson told Roll Call he needed his face on TV.... Hmmm, did he need an alibi for something? ;-)

LOL! Most likely to prove to his constituents that he is in DC (sometimes) and people know who he is (okay not so many) but that he can get a prime seat for the camera (just like his dad).
LOL! Do you think that there's a beer distributorship in there for one of his kids someday?

Bush should have screwed them all and used an alternate entrance.
To: saveliberty
Do they really think their black constituents even care about seeing them interact with President Bush during the State of the Union?
To: saveliberty
Most likely! LOL!

:-) I love this story! It makes them look so bad and as John Hinderaker points out-- it makes us look fabulous.
So no, I wouldn't have used an alternate entrance.

Uggghh! These people make me sick. They need to get''face time''!,,,,,,, What about that other creep Sheila Jackson Lee?She ALWAYS manages to somehow make her way right over to the president and greet him with a huge hug and kiss. And yet she's always the first one sitting right next to Conyers at those fake basement impeachment RAT hearings!She makes me ill. She had a friend with her this time also. That Tubb woman. Thats her last name I forget her first. Maybe its hypocrite
To: Democratshavenobrains
Black voters are conservative on more issues than is stated as the CW. Dems know that on security, they can't touch Bush. So they have to appear to be on friendly terms with him.
