The GOP didn't waste any time distributing this UPI report via E-mail. :-)

Rep. McKinney has 5th run-in with security

United Press International
March 31, 2006

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- For the fifth time since 1993, U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., had a run-in with Washington security personnel when an officer failed to recognize her.

...

He claims she whirled around and hit him on the chest, The Hill reported Thursday.

...

In 1993, Capitol Police posted a photo of McKinney on an office wall so officers could remember who she was after she complained. Then in 1995, she complained again about being stopped.

In 1996 and 1998, she complained that White House security officials did not give her the same treatment as other members of Congress, at one time mistaking her 23-year-old white aide for her. McKinney is black.
