What a Country

Posted on by

Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), has apologized for her scuffling with a Capitol Police officer last week. It seems she wasn’t wearing her official Member of Congress pin, and failed to present proper identification when she attempted to enter a House office building. An officer of the Capitol Police challenged her; she allegedly became belligerent, and supposedly struck the officer, because he didn’t recognize her as being a congress member. Sheesh; what a crock. I’m just a simple guy, but isn’t it odd that in this day and age, horseshit such as this is even newsworthy?1 Some observations:

  • Congress members have pins? Easily bought or faked, I’ll bet. This is an ID system?
  • In lieu of the pin, she apparently had no other ID, or failed to present same. What arrogance on her part, to presume that just because she’s a MOC, that she should be given preferential treatment.
  • If you or I had tried such a stunt, we’d still be in jail.
  • If she in fact assaulted an officer, she should have been cuffed and hauled off as well.
  • Does this whole cluster-eff really require a grand jury inquiry?

    • It’s been said the people deserve the government they get. If true, the people are really screwed up, and we’re in deeper trouble that I imagined.

    1 – It’s blogworthy though, because us blodgers are really journalists; yes, we are.

    1. “Does this whole cluster-eff really require a grand jury inquiry?”

      Are you saying the Judiciary Commitee called for an investigation?

      I guess those MOC bastards will take any chance to pretend they’re working, lest we voters ask what they did all term?
