Just heard driving home Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) has been accused of slapping a Capitol Guard (?) over some type of dispute. 10 second story nothing follows.
Officer, might I suggest you use your nightstick?
Hillary!™? Is that you?
Congress is assuming all of the bad characteristics of royalty...and the rest of us are peasants in their eyes.
What happened, did he get fresh?
...and nothing ever will.
A stun gun might be more fun.

Cynthia McKinney Accused Of Hitting Police Officer

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., is accused of hitting a Capitol Hill police officer.
Sources tell Channel 2 Action News that McKinney was involved in a disagreement with the officer at a security checkpoint at the Capitol.
One of the sources, a member of the House Republican Conference, confirmed that McKinney struck the officer.
The House sergeant-at-arms and a high ranking member of the Capitol Hill Police Department met with McKinney in her office Wednesday afternoon.
McKinney has refused multiple requests for a comment on the reports.
Capitol Hill police are also refusing comment.
Hope that's not directed at me ;)
Well said!!
It wasn't. Sorry...
BPSIOT
If true, assault on police officer?

Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a U.S. Capitol Police officer today after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.
Members are not required to pass through metal detectors and the officer, manning a position at Longworth House Office Building, apparently did not recognize McKinney and didn't see her Member pin.
The officer called out "Ma'am, Ma'am," in an attempt to stop her.
When the officer caught up to McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm.
McKinney pulled her arm away, swung around, cell phone in hand, and punched the officer square in the chest, according to the witness.
McKinney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

These things happen in three you know. Tomorrow a mailman in Texas will be busted for urinating in public.
Mace perhaps as a compromise?
Maybe he made fun of her stupid hair.
Book 'er!!! (assuming it's true, that is)
This is all Last Call said:
In a case of mistaken identity, Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) apparently punched a Capitol police officer. No response yet from her office.
And damn if that wasn't the aweomest thing we'd read all day. Hotline On Call fleshes it out a little, but their version doesn't make Rep. McKinney sound as badass.
Seriously, don't cross her. She'll cut you.
Cynthia McKinney, you are our Representative of the Day. Please consider taking more hunting trips.

SWI?

elected as a result of a gerrymandered district, she is royalty to her constituents.
When I lived in Columbus Ga, northern columbus ga was tied to southern atlanta by a 60 mile gerrymander corrider, to insure a black majority district.
As a businessman at the time, I couldn't even get a response from my congressman, as he needed no non ethnic support.
Gotta love our 2 party system
I wonder if I did that....would I be arrested?
But now I see where the officer was way out of line! He actually touched Miss Cynthia! I bet she charges him with assault....and will win.
Can you imagine the out cry if Tom Delay had so much as insulted an officer?
Thanks a lot for the spit running down my screen. LOL!
That and taking money from Terror Organizations!
I wonder if the guard was one of those evil Joooos that Cynthia has so much of a problem with.
Wow, what class - she's such a lady... /sarc
Hate crime?

Here's another messed-up looking congressional district in North Carolina:

I vote for censure and anger management classes.
if this was the other way around... well we know how it would be.
Whoa she looks like someone parted her hair with a sledgehammer.
talk about being bitchslapped !
I wonder if the security guard was wearing a nametag. Something like "Goldberg" or "Levinsohn". Miss Cynthia has made her feelings about Jews very clear, on more than one occasion.
And just why are all members not required to pass through metal detectors? I fear for the safety of our (few?) sane representatives.
Just watch, the liberals and the media will blame the guard, not her...
Skiing While Intoxicated?
Sex While Intoxicated?
Stupid While Intoxicated?
If the House does not censure her for this and demand her to publicy apologize they are bunch of good for nothing worthless grifters.
Oh wait.........
I nearly drove off the road the first time I saw the sign on I-285: CYNTHIA McKINNEY FREEWAY.
Kinds looks to me like she got run over by a motorcycle and she took a bite out of the tires.
This thread might be a ton of fun.
I hope that snotty girl gets thrown in the clink over this. She is so obnoxious. It must've taken great willpower not to slap her back.
It's a good thing she's in Congress, or else she's be in big trouble! If one of us serfs slapped a cop, we'd in the hospital eating from a tube.
