435 members of congress??????

The article refers specifically to House members of which there are 435. Numbers for Congress as a whole include the Senate, which would add another 100. What exactly are you referring to?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

DeLay is leaving Congress?????

I have too much going on in my world and I am missing these stories. This is true? Not doubting you, just picking myself up off of the floor as I had no idea.

Cynthia! Those are Heinekens. Are you aware that you will need a bottle opener? No twist-offs on the Heinies baby.

[DarthVader]

Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Maxine Waters etc.

[Guenevere]

..I would suggest, rather than the water, they might share the same 'eyelift' doctor.

[Fresh Wind]

Road tool? (snicker)

[mewzilla]

LOL!!

When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.

I'd just like to interject a fact or two into your anti-Hannity rant. Last week, actor Alec Baldwin had a meltdown while talking to Sean and Mark Levin on a radio program. Baldwin actually had the gall to use Sean's experience as a construction worker as an insult. He flung that job in Sean's face like it was akin to being a crack addict. Alec told Sean to go back to building houses in Hempstead. How stupid do you have to be to completely miss the very nature of a construction worker's job? Just look at the pictures of the carnage at the WTC and what do you see? Heartbroken construction workers. They built those buildings, and they dismantled the wreckage in an amazingly short time, and when the idiots who are leeching off of the WTC finally come up with a design, it will be construction workers who rebuild it.

Now, about McKinney's crack about "hired help". The smartest person I've ever known loves hired help. He says that garbage trucks trundling through neighborhoods at dawn are the very pinnacle of a civilized society. So are clean toilets everywhere, and clean drinking water. A 911 system and streetlights. An electrical system that isn't even a consideration anymore, we simply have electric power for everything. Guess who keeps all these parts of our society up and running? THE HIRED HELP.

Cynthia McKinney got that seat back because of redistricting in GA that made her district almost 100% black. That is the only reason she got elected, after being dumped. Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, and a bunch of hijacked school children only highlighted why this woman is not only stupid beyond belief, she is inherently dangerous. She is a black female member of Congress.

The fundamental problem in this whole situation is not that the officer 'failed to recognize' McNinny. The fundamental problem was that she failed to recognize him. Not that she should necessarily know him personally, but she needs to recognize the office, just as she wants to be recognized for her office.

Is the anniverary of The Little Rascals coming up soon or what?

[kevkrom]

i thought there were 435 members in the house

There are 435 voting members in the House, plus another 5 (I think) non-voting members from DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.

[SampleMan]

Does this mean Corrine Brown (D - Floriduh) is no longer the undisputed stupidest member of Congress?

As a Floridian I take offense to that remark. Corrine Brown is and always will be the undisputed stupidest member of Congress. There simply is no competition that walks upright.

[hosepipe]

Whew.. Obviously a pic of Buckwheats teacher that molested him..
No wonder he couldn't talk right..

[hosepipe]

Exactly..

[johnny7]

She will NOT... go slowly into the night.

[Savage Beast]

"I appreciate your diligence in keeping the Capitol safe."

I suppose it didn't occur to her to be appreciative.

By the way, I always thank security checkers in air ports and anywhere else. Too bad Cynthia doesn't have sense enough to be grateful.

[GreyFriar]

North Carolina Congresswoman Virgina Fox just called WMAL radio here in DC in response to a caller, who identified himself as Black, who asked if white congressmen ever got stopped by the Capitol police.

She stated that as a short, grey-haired white Congresswoman, she has gotten stopped by the Capitol police as she walked by the magnetometer and they had not seen her congressional pin, often when she was carrying the jacket it was on. She said she had also been questioned when entering the 'members only' elevator in the capitol building or on the members only tram that connects the capitol building to the various house and senate office buildings. She said that the officers were always polite. Also that they have a job to do to protect the members of Congress.

[Fresh Wind]

Maybe the cop thought Cynthia was the cleaning lady?

[Gopher Broke]

McKinney is a national embarassment and a joke.

Tell her she should resign immediately....
