The Democrats pulled every string to make sure Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney would get away with cold-clocking a police officer...and this is the party who wants us to trust them with our national security? From The Corner:
The incident in which Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney struck a Capitol police officer has gone from bad to worse.
In a story that will air on WSBTV this evening, reporter Scott MacFarlane reveals that the ranking Democrat on the House Administration Committee (which has oversight responsibility of the Sergeant at Arms office) personally intervened with the House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the Congresswoman wasn't arrested."

The men and women of the Capitol police deserve our respect and gratitude - not physical abuse.
Instead of condemning this however, the Democratic Leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said "I would not make a big deal of this," (press conference, 3/30/06) - and the ranking member of the House Administration Committee personally intervened to ensure justice was delayed.
A police officer is assaulted, and the Democratic House Leadership personally steps in to prevent the perp from undergoing due process because she's a...Democrat.
Had this been a Republican, of course, House Congressional Hearing Subcommittees would already be in session...
Great article on McKinney, after her successful 2004 bid to retain office, in The Weekly Standard (Jan05 issue), simply entitled: Cynthia McKinney (D-Conspiracy)
