At first, I noticed and enjoyed hearing what I think was a Puerto Rican accent spoken by the woman. Then, I was saddened when I realized that the black woman US Capitol policewoman, in full uniform including hat, making fun of Secretary Rice’s hair. Repeatedly and with hand gestures.
Goodness, so much for solidarity among women, and black women in particular, huh?
However, I was concerned when I looked the Capitol police up on the Internet. These are the police that work under the Office of Inspector General, who investigates “fraud and abuse” in Medicare and other Federal funds.
From the US Capitol Police website:

Office of Inspector General
Carl W. Hoecker, Inspector General
* Office of Audits
* Office of Investigations
* How to Report Fraud Waste and Abuse
Office of Inspector General Mission
Under Public Law 109-55, August 2, 2005, Congress established the United States Capitol Police Office of Inspector General (OIG). The Inspector General (IG) reports directly to the United States Capitol Police Board, and heads OIG. The OIG supervises and conducts audits, inspections, and investigations involving USCP programs, functions, systems, or operations.
OIG is also responsible for:
* Promoting economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in the administration of USCP programs and operations;
* Preventing and detecting fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in USCP programs and operations and;
* Reporting to Congress on OIG activities.
If you were not afraid to do so, it would be good to make a complaint about your experience.
I never quite understood WHY the Blacks never accepted Rice and Powell. When President Bush picked them I thought it would excite the Black population.
Instead, they derided them. I believe I even heard mention of “they're not one of us” and comments about their ‘light skin color’. Things like that.
Wonder why they think Obama is ‘one of them’? He's half White and wealthy.
He's a Democrat who promises them everything, that's why.
