Freshman New York Congresswoman Grace Meng says she was hit on the head and robbed in Washington but was not seriously injured.

Meng is a Democrat representing the New York City borough of Queens. She said in a statement Wednesday that she suffered a bruise on her chin and underwent a CAT scan after the attack Tuesday night near Capitol Hill.

If Obamacare is not repealed, then I would not be surprised to see angry victims of this healthcare debacle take to the streeets. Washington DC may not be a very good place to live in a year. Funny, I just read an article the other day on how rich the beltway crowd has become over the last decade....Unfortunately for the main street USA crowd, our salaries all took a big hit (around 2007 when the democrats took charge of congress!) Personally, I don’t anticipate returning to the income I had back when Bush was still President...

And she got away?! Damnit! I was going to say “one down, 530 more to go” but DC just doesn’t have the quality of strong arm robbers it used to.

Prayers for speedy recovery.

Why? seriously. I never prayed for the speedy recovery of my enemies. Why would you want the enemy of everything conservative (ie a NY Democrat) to recover at all? Do you think any of us prayed for the recovery of Al Quaeda operatives who were injured? Shuold we have prayed for the recovery of those NVA shot in Vietnam? How about the Germans and Japanese? DO you thik Halsey prayer for the sppedy revovery of any pilots injured in the attack on Pear Harbor?

Shaking head at the sanctimonious silliness exhibited by some freepers

Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., who represents the 6th congressional district in Queens, was walking home from dinner Tuesday night when she was struck in the back of the head.

It happened at 2nd and Independence Avenue SE around 8:30 p.m.

The suspect took her Gucci tote bag and ran off, police say.

Rep. Meng was left disoriented with several injuries, according to police. She also had a head injury and was transported to George Washington University Hospital.

1. Walking at night in SE DC.
2. Carrying a Gucci tote bag.

Nothing said about the obvious “MUG ME!!!” sign she must have been wearing.

Hoo Boy!

No one said anything about the races involved. That tells us all we need to know about the race of the perp.

She's a co-sponsor of all the failed gun control policies from earlier this year. Now she gets clobbered over the head and robbed back in her own district. Hilarious.

Fine by me. When she got struck on the noggin, I hope it made a sound like "MMMEENNNnnNnNGGggg!"

A conservative is just a Liberal who got mugged.

Hopefully she learned her lesson this time and it won't have to be repeated.
