At Least McKinney Isn’t Stupid!

Looking at a possible federal rap, the good Rep. Cynthia McKinney punts and offers her apology for her altercation with the Capital Hill Police. The A/P reports:

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.

McKinney, 51, has a history of confrontations with officers.

In this case, she entered a House office building without passing through the metal detector that screens visitors. Members of Congress are permitted to bypass the machines, but she was not wearing the pin that identified her as a House member at the time.

Way to go, girl — guess in your mind it was worth a shot. Probably solidified a few more votes for you back in Atlanta. The fact of the matter is that you and your big mouth are good for the GOP, but your attitude is definitely bad for Democrats and the for the country, so I for one will be glad to see this go away, not that I am looking for anything to help the Dems.

[Update]

Dennis Prager is talking about this on-air right now and in so many words is saying that the only piece of truth in McKinney’s statement is “I regret its escalation”, ’cause she’s the one that escalated the situation in the first place, and she’s the one that doubled-down with the race card. Dennis puts the onuss on her constituents who continue to send her back to DC. Kind of like voting for a black David Dukes. Wow, that’s harsh — but way too true!

    “There should not have been any physical contact in this incident,”

    In other words, she shouldn’t have hit him, but he had no right to grab her. How about just saying “I’m sorry I hit him.”

    Bobbert –

    How about just saying “I’m sorry I hit him.”

    That would be waaaaay to easy.

    Simple, direct, to the point — I think they purge that out of you in Congress during your freshman indoctrination — not that many of them have any of that left by the time they finally get there!

    Thanks for your comment.
