Maybe we can recruit Delay for release of the unredacted Barrett report.

[Coldwater Creek]

I agree that she should be chaarged, charged, charged, charged!!!!!!!!!!

[mewzilla]

She's a fool!

Oh, no she's not. She's hoping the grand jury will take pity and decline to indict her. I'd say that's not a bad bet.

[theDentist]

Let me guess: "I am sorry, so sorry, for hitting a policeman who thought he was was doing his job, even though it was all his fault. But you got to realize: racism is rampant, and I'm their favorite target. No one has the right to touch me. Even policemen...'Specially white policeman."

[Texas Mom]

DeLay said he's going to file if no-one else does. He'll do it, too :)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought maybe I was dreaming since I only heard it once.

[Hank Rearden]

She had previously insisted she had done nothing wrong, and accused police of "racial profiling." She is African-American and the police officer is white.

I love this crap!

Note that she is definitely not "black" and he is most assuredly not "European-American". More puffed-up PC nonsense.

[Hank Rearden]

So why did it get pulled? Too much truth for mods to handle?

[jslade]

She's an embarrassment to the HoR, DNC, Atlanta and Georgia, but she's a black Democrat in a heavily black, urban district, so she'll almost certainly be re-elected.

Oh yeah. She's a hero to her constituents. She done stuck it to THE MAN!

[michigander]

"Physical contact" here being when he "touched her inappropriately"?

Of course.

But she does regret its "escalation" -- does that mean her hitting him or the Capitol Police unaccountably making a fuss?

Neither, she regrets that she's going to have to file assault charges against the officer.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Problem is, she and her constituents ONLY see her as legislating while black. That's why they elect her. I cannot believe that they actually follow politics or are even aware of the idiocy that springs forth from her mouth. If they are, why aren't they embarrassed and demanding that she resigned from office? They like the status quo, and do not expect anything remarkable from her.

The irony is, her ignorance has nothing to do with race, of course... but, ignorance springs forth when her entire platform is playing the race card.

Case in point... can anyone find one remarkable achievement in the record that came about because of McKinney spear-heading the issue?

[boomop1]

Is this what she really feels in her rotten heart, hell no just watch what she does once indicted. A forced apology is shit.

[tiki]

She's just apologizing because she's black. It is all about race, you know. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's an arrogant, bitter and angry beeyotch.

[hosepipe]

Is she talking like Buckwheat yet?... Shes a dead ringer..

[pepperdog]

I did not hear her apologize and admit she was wrong to bring racism into this situation. I heard her say physical contact should not have happened. Since the policeman touched her first, when he stopped her, I think she is still trying to blame the Cap. Hill Police. She is a sorry person, not fit to represent anyone on any subject.

[NAVY84]

From your mouth ...

[From One - Many]

Not Good Enough....
This piece of racist trash shouldn't be allowed to hold office in the nation's congress. Congress should bar her from her seat, but congress shall not.

[Hegemony Cricket]

"Cynthia McKinney On Floor of House Apologizing"

Hmmm. Is she face down on the floor, cuffed, crying teargas out of her eyes while she's "apologizing"? Just axin', cuz that's where I know I'd be if I hit a Capitol Officer after making him chase me down because I ran the checkpoint.

[SouthernFreebird]

I guess that racism thing wasn't working. Plan B

[Alberta's Child]

That was a classic FR thread, Doug.

I'll ping you to #15 on this thread to bring back some memories. LOL.

[Don Joe]

This should still not prevent DOJ from vigorously prosecuting this case

Yeah... but, it will. [spit]

Watch this entire event get shuffled right off the front page ASAP, then it'll be back to business as usual. Watch your wallet, count your change!
