That's OK. I have to floss my teeth, far more important
I'll be cleaning out the litter box, I figure looking at one piece of $hit is just like the other.
U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) refused to comment today about her confrontation with a Capitol Hill police officer.
Instead her supporters used a news conference this morning at the Community Church of Christ on Cascade Road to attack security procedures at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. They blamed the incident between McKinney and an unidentified police officer on racism. Speakers said the officer failed to recognize McKinney as a member of congress and grabbed her because she is black.
They also ridiculed the use of pins to identify members of congress. McKinney admits she was not wearing her pin when she was stopped by the officer when she bypassed a security checkpoint.
McKinney made a statement listing accomplishments of her office and scolding the local media for concentrating coverage of the slapping incident.
She refused to take any questions from reporters.

ok by me!
I cannot believe this country has gotten to the point where TOUCHING SOMEBODY can even ben considered battery.
Only that did not happen.
The incident was reported to the police right away, and it was about 20 hours later that it was reported in the news. My goodness, you people wear blinders, don't you? Aren't you even the least bit interested in the facts?
I read, or heard, over the weekend that there were two videos from different angles.
Every hotel in every city gives guests that advice. It just does not make front page news until a guest goes down the "wrong" road and gets mugged or worse.
"It is a wonder she hasn't sued aspirin manufacturers because in order to use their product she has to pick cotton"
That's funny!
""The Cynthia McKinney Historical Congressional ID Button Collection"
or should it be "the Cynthia McKinney Historical Hysterical Congressional ID Button Collection?"
"Because she was assaulted and placed in impending fear of her safety, she responded," [civil rights attorney James Marts] said. "This case has just begun and we're going to fight, and we're going to use the U.S. Constitution."
Must be a typo in there. I'm sure he said "abuse the U.S. Constitution" and not "use".
"McKinney says she was the victim of racial profiling by Capitol police in the incident."
No, she was a victim of Darwinian profiling.
Apparently she hasn't evolved to the point where she can follow directions everybody else in Congress has no problem understanding.
Please let me know. I need such a site, myself.
But I think even Microsoft's pic handling software would enable one to place text within a circle. Then print it and mail it to the Library of Congress . . . perhaps as well to Rush, Hannity et al.
Will be the end of the week before I can devote a lot of time to it but I plan to do so.
Who's the attractive lady in the poster? It's certainly not Cynthia McKinney.
If I were McKinney, I'd be insulted that they felt I was so ugly they had to put some other woman's picture on my poster.
Uhhh!
. . . I wonder who would try to rape whom first . . . figuratively or literally.
Oh, I'd love the 2nd but
to get it actually established and taken remotely seriously, we must use the first.
Yes, I understand...sorry for being sillly...it's a beautiful day in Atlanta today...even if McKinney is representing us.
"jimmy carter, cynthia mckinney. very proud!!!!"
Don't forget Ted Turner!
