McKinney Gets Off

Cynthia McKinney -- you know, the congresscritter who hit a Capital policeman when he tried to get her to obey the law? (You'd think she had better sense. But she's too arrogant.) She was "let off." It's next to impossible to convict a Democrat of ANYTHING in Washington. But if a Republican had done such a thing, he would have already been convicted and maybe even executed. If I had done the same thing, I'd have been immediately shot. But Cynthia McKinney has other things going for her except for being a Democrat in Washington. She's also a black woman, a member of TWO groups who get special consideration in Washington in ADDITION to being a Democrat. So as I predicted some time ago, she was "let off" on an action than anyone else would have seen jail time for doing. All she had to do beyond being a Democrat was "play the race card" and the "woman card." People such as the widows of 9/11 victims can do just about anything they want in Washington, but McKinney doesn't need to lose a loved one (does she have any?) (My Way, 6/16/06)
