The arrogence of it all. I suppose it would be a bit of a put off for Representative McKinney to have to show her ID to enter the House of Representatives. Afterall, she’s Cynthia McKinney.
I suppose, in her seemingly limitless delusions of self-importance, everyone should recognize her immediately at a glance. She is Cynthia McKinney afterall. If you don’t recognize her you are a racist, obviously. [See Michelle Malkin's report on how McKinney is playing the race card.]
Of course, Ms. McKinney has hired a lawyer and is painting herself as the victim of this incident. She says she is, “just a victim of being in Congress while black.”
Violence Worker has two posts on Ms. McKinney’s bad behavior. Well, this round of her bad behavior. It’s Called Assault and Censure McKinney.
The Rolling Barrage is reports on her continuation of the embarrassment in the form of a news conference today in which she declares she is only guilty of being Black.
This is the same US Representative that sent a letter of appology to Saudi Arabia after Rudy Guiliani refused a pay-off immediately following 9-11. She did this on her own as a Representative of the United States.
This is the same Representative that falls all over herself to be photographed at every opportunity, especially shaking hands with the President before and after his State of the Union addresses.
Cynthia McKinney is nothing if not entertaining. The problem is that she’s a member of the House of Representatives. That makes her entertaining antics dangerous. She actually can wield some power with her comical antics.
I think of people who have had serious charges brought against them for hitting people with their cell phones or hitting a cop. Russell Crowe just recently had an incident in which he faced charges of assault for throwing his cell phone.
Naomi Campbell is currently under investigation for hitting her housekeeper with a cell phone.
Then theres the case from several years ago in which ZaZa Gabor slapped a cop. She had to go to court over that and was the butt of jokes for the longest time.
But none of them are Cynthia McKinney.
It sounds like Ms. McKinney expects to not only steer clear of facing charges, but plans to be the victim of the attack. By the time she is done the poor officer she attacked might be charged with attacking her.
It is embarrassing this woman is a Representative and is from Georgia.
She is proof positive that money and privilege don’t buy class.

Great post, Beth!
Thanks Donnah. I enjoyed yours too!
Who Cynthia McKinney is …
It was January 1991. …Cynthia McKinney … was then a state legislator from Atlanta. I’d never heard of her before … More than two-thirds of the state House walked out of the chamber in protest … as Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Atlanta) spoke agains…
McKinney Is Ignorant. Any Questions?…
Cynthia McKinney, the addled Representative from the State of Georgia is playing the race card. In a news conference that resembled a sketch from Saturday Night Live, the Congresswoman declared that she was guilty of being black. One cannot argue……
Diva-Dar…
Is your Diva-Dar blaring? It should be … Just watched Congresswoman McKinney’s press conference about how her not wearing a pin she is supposed to wear turned into excessive force against a black female congresswoman. I think her statement included …
I consider myself lucky. Until yesterday I had never even heard of CM. She sure sounds like an idiot, though.
Great post Beth..thanks for the link and plzzzzz update your blogroll
with my new addy and come see mah new site!
I did come see your site Angel.. It’s GREAT! But I didn’t update my blogroll - I’ll do it asap.
Thanks for reminding me - I know how frustrating that is to see everyone going to your old site and there’s nothing there.
She is an embarrassment to Georgia!!! She shoud be censured and prosecuted. You can’t expect people to have respect for law enforcement if our officals don’t!!!
James Myart, McKinney’s atty, was previously barred from Dept Agriculture for repeatedly trying to circumvent security and lying to security officers, and also suspended from practicing law in Texas for engaging in “fraud and deceit” as well as using an ethnic slur during settlement proceedings in a discrimination suit. An interesting correlation between lawyer and client. I haven’t heard the results of the grand jury yet, but I certainly hope Ms Mckinney gets indicted. If nothing else, she should get a Congressional censure.
Snivel, whine adn complain. If I lived in her district, I would s\do everything in my power to have her sent home without a job. Wouldn’t that be fun
Sniveling traitor. Ain’t it obvious?
Check out latest McKinney embarrassment: this is a transcript from a local tv station:
Transcript of McKinney comments
Published on: 04/23/06
This is the partial transcript of a question and answer session held Saturday in Chamblee with Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney. She regularly holds such sessions in her district. This session was taped by CBS 46 news. .
• Question: has anyone asked you about your confrontation with the Capitol police officer?
Answer: Actually you, media, are the only ones who are asking about that.
• Question: I’m sure you thought about this  potentially someone might ask you about this, outside of the media, about the confrontation  what would your response be, how do you explain it to the people of DeKalb County?
Answer: Well, actually no one has asked me other than you and so… I talk to my constituents about the things that are on their minds…
• Question: Do you think the incident will affect your chances for re-election?
Answer: You’re talking about the incident I’m talking about issues.
• Question: You want to talk about issues, has the confrontation made it harder for you to focus on the issues? Has it been a distraction?
Answer: You’re a distraction because that seems to be all you want to talk about  but people here understand that my representation is much larger than any discreet incident
OFF CAMERA, WITH MIKE STILL ON:
• “This is crap  they lied to Coz and Coz is a fool for believin’ ‘em. [Referring to aide Coz Carson]
• Anything that is captured by your audio while I’m not seated in this chair is off the record and is not permissible to use  is that understood?
