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?
A stun gun might be more fun.

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.
