Who The Hell Does She Think She Is?

I am so sick and tired of these 'Representatives' placing themselves above the law:

According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.

...An unconfirmed statement attributed to McKinney has been released on the Internet, where she allegedly claims to have been harassed by Capitol Hill Police.

The statement's writer says that she has been harassed by white police officers she says do not recognize her due to her recently changed hairstyle.

"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers," the statement says.

The writer details the incident, saying, "I was rushing to my meeting when a white police officer yelled to me. He approached me, bodyblocked me, physically touching me. I used my arm to get him off of me. I told him not to touch me several times. He asked for my ID and I showed it to him. He then let me go and I proceeded to my meeting and I assume that the Police Officer resumed his duties. I have counseled with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Acting Assistant Chief Thompson several times before and counseled with them again on today's incident. I offered also to counsel with the offending police officer."

Supposedly it's all on tape. I hope so.

I don't think that the officer, you know, the guy who risks his life to save your sorry ass, is the one who needs 'counseling.'

She's a loon. As are the silly sh*ts of her district who keep voting for a loser of her inestimable quality. They must all be mushroom compost, mentally.

Notice how she was manhandled by a white officer? Not only is she above the law, but she's automatically being discriminated against when she's expected to abide by the law.

THS is right. She's a loon and so are her constituents.
