Cynthia McKinney's statement

Cynthia McKinney (Moonbat - GA) has a statement on her Congressional Webpage. It is short and sweet, and drips with honey and light.

It deserves a good Fisking.
March 29, 2006 (Washington, DC) - To the Members of the Capitol Hill Police:

Earlier today I had an unfortunate confrontation with a Capitol Hill Police Officer.
No, earlier today you committed the offense of Battery on an Officer
It is traditional protocol that Capitol Hill Police Officers secure 535 Members of Congress, including 100 Senators. It is the expectation of most Members of Congress that Capitol Hill Police officers know who they are.
Why is that the expectation? Because you are so important that everybody should know who you are? Because as an elected official you don't have time for security screening? Or because as a Member of Congress, the little people should immediately step aside when you come through?
I was urgently trying to get to an important meeting on time to fulfill my obligations to my constituents.
Well, then Congress member, maybe you should have left home a little earlier. If you are late to a meeting, it is no ones fault but your own. If you're late, you're late. The rest of us don't give a rat's ass. It's your fault, suck it up.
Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued.
Why should he? You are issued a pin that identifies you as a member of Congress. You are given an ID as a member of Congress. Use them. Wear them. I'm sure that all Capitol Police officers are schooled in treating Members of Congress with deference all out of proportion to their actual importance. Members of Congress are servants of the people. Is the officer you battered not a person? Had you flashed the card at the checkpoint, you would have been waved through. You didn't. Your overinflated sense of entitlement assumed that you would be recognized as someone important. You're not important. You are a servant of the people.
I did not have on my Congressional pin but showed the Police Officer my Congressional ID.
After he confronted you for blowing past his checkpoint. Had I been on duty, you would have been cuffed, stuffed and fluffed. ID and manners are remarkable attributes. You have Id, but you don't use them. Manners are a different matter entirely. Evidently, your momma did a piss-poor job of raising you.
I know that Capitol Hill Police are securing our safety, that of
thousands of others, and I appreciate the work that they do. I deeply regret that the incident occurred.
Your actions speak louder than your words. I saw your statement on CNN where you said that the reason you were stopped was because you are a black woman. You played the race card almost immediately. If you truly regret the incident, then formally apologize to the officer involved and plead guilty in Court to Battery on an Officer. You did it. Be big enough to admit it.
I have demonstrated my support for them in the past and I continue to support them now.
Oh,bullshit, Cynthia. You support no one. You produce nothing to support anything. You are a drain on the economy of the United States. Every penny of your salary is taken from tax money. You exist solely on the goodwill of the American people. You have a sense of entitlement that is completely out of proportion to the marginal utility of your service. If you were honest with yourself for even a minute, you would know that I am telling you the truth.

Here is another truth. The folks who elected you are idiots.

Because, you know, having Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover by your side at a press conference makes it all the more believable.

James W. Myart Jr. "Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin," he said.

I was going to reserve judgment, but come on! Although I suppose she did have to wait a day to keep people from cracking up at the media event.
