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.

Members of Congress are not required to pass through metal detectors.

Sources say that the officer was at a position in the Longworth House Office Building, and did not recognize McKinney, nor saw her credentials as she went around the metal detector.

The officer called out, “Ma’am, Ma’am,” and walked after her in an attempt to stop her. When he caught McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm.

Witnesses say McKinney pulled her arm away, and with her cell phone in hand, punched the officer in the chest.

McKinney’s office has not responded to requests for comment.

According to the Drudge Report, the entire incident is on tape.

Drudge continues, "The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjurns to arrest her, a source claims."

You must be from Baltimore to have such a lovely item.

Is that really what she looks like now? It looks like a photo shopped fun house mirror shot. That picture reminds me of when Mad TV or SNL did a parody on Oprah where she got so big she floated up to the ceiling and burst.

Oh please, oh please televise this!

I'm working on it...but it's proving elusive in the short-term.

[veronica]

Of course! :)

Cindy McKinney is the senior democrat congressional rep after John "for life" Lewis. She is the party's future. Strange justice. Proving that Georgia yellow dog democrats really will vote for the yellow dog. How far they have come from Vinson, Russell, Talmadge, Gambrell and Nunn.

May I suggest that the prison surgeon confirm via exploratory surgery that this woman is BRAINLESS!!!!!

[SJackson]

You know the country has gone down hill and lost it's common sense when a treasonous, hateful, insane, stupid, nonsensical POS like Cynthia McKinney is elected to the government.

The ironic thing is that Denise Majette defeated Cynthi-ah for her house seat. There was great rejoicing in Atlanta.

Then two years later Denise took on an impossible job, namely running for the Senate. Sweet Cynthia immediately won her house seat back. I don't know what prompted Denise to run for the Senate, but she really opened the door for McKinney again.

"There may be some hope of an arrest .. though I'm sure she will sue"

- There will be no arrest and I doubt that you will hear of this again. Phone calls will already have been made by powerful politicians to security service management warning them to let the matter die. Unless the cop is near retirement and doesn't care about his future career, he'll spend the rest of his life writing parking tickets in a Washington slum area if he doesn't keep his mouth shut.

Censure, impeach.....send her to Gitmo!!!!

Good thing for the USCP Officer that she didn't put her weight into that punch....
