Being the bigoted, racist, sexist pig that I am [in other words, a conservative, logical and rational, un-PC thinker], an image of Cynthia McKinney immediately leaped to mind. The next thought was that this venerated, reputable person, elected by the people of Noo Yawk, just had to be of a certain color to get away with this kind of behavior.

Then I thought of Shrillery!, Schmuckie Chuckie and other similarly elected...ummmm, wackos and realized that I could be wrong... she just may be some white low intelligence elected schmuck. But I just had to Google her picture to find out.

Yep, I was right the first time.

If you can't tell from the "weight" reference in the article, the very honorable Ms. Smith is the one on the left.

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
--Mark Twain

"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two men are called a Law Firm, and three or more are called a Congress."
-- John Adams

"There is no distinctly native American criminal class... save Congress."
--Mark Twain

She's been working with glue too much.

This is appalling. How is it that someone who repeats the same outrage is still in office? New York or not, enough is enough. She needs to be committed.

[TankerKC]

Smith has denied virtually every accusation, but her exasperated Senate party leader has stripped Smith of seniority privileges.

What party would that be?

ROTFLMAO !! I was thinking the staffer got "creamed" by this P.O.S. dimwit democrap when she threw her coffee on her. Somebody ought to sue this bitc* for all she has.

Also, don't forget this little gem: "No man's life, liberty, or property are secure while the Legislature is in session." --Mark Twain.

The rest of us would have been charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

Hot coffee in the face?

That can blind you, disfigure your face, even kill you.

But fat lesbian democrat lawmakers are exempt.

Just like McKinney.

It will take a murder, a death, before a dem is brought to justice.

Then again, the swimmer got away with it.

"The deal would have required Smith, a Queens Democrat, to plead guilty to an assault count, pay up to a $1,000 fine and participate in unspecified anger management treatment, the senator's attorney, James Long, said."

This was from April.
