Is she apologizing for calling the cop a racist and sexist on national tv? That is at least as bad as slapping the guy in the chest.

WASHINGTON - Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., expressed "sincere regret" Thursday for her altercation with a Capitol police officer, and offered an apology to the House.

"There should not have been any physical contact in this incident," McKinney said in brief remarks on the House floor. "I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all and I regret its escalation and I apologize."

McKinney's comments came after the case had been referred to a federal grand jury for possible prosecution.

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 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.
