She's back

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/19/mckinney.report/index.html

Check out the video of her apology. I nearly threw up.

She needs to apologize for her claiming it was a racially motivated assault.

You got that right.

And why can’t they all just go through the metal detectors like everyone else?
I find it's rather insulting to be doing so and watching other folks skirt around them like they’re someone special and above all others. I guess there’s no need for them to, as there’s certainly no stress in politics (teaching, court house work, airline/airport work….) that would cause a person to just loose it one day and go “Postal“.

Sorry - just a little rant there on one of my peeves.

They think they are special

Exempt from the Do Not Call List, during the recent Primaries we were getting bombarded. The selling calls were easier,
I told one I'd vote for the first polititian that would force the law change requiring them to abide by the do not call list.

Always remenber the definition of Politics

Two words Poli and Tics

What are each

Poli --> MultiSided
Tic ---> Bloodsucker !!

They stopped allowing this in NYC city hall after a guy got in bypassing the metal detector because he was with a politician "friend" and he shot up the place. Now even the mayor gets checked.

What a beeatch that would embarrass me if I were of color. However, what a waste of a grand jury's time too.....the cop should encourage to prosecutor to drop it and let her live with her shame.

A personal anecdote: I wear shorts and flip flops to my office, unless I am meeting with someone or have to go to Court. I literally keep three suits at my office for this purpose. One Thursday afternoon, I was heading South for a weekend fishing trip. On the way there we were to pass by a jail where a man resided that I needed to sign some papers. I show my Bar card at the front desk, and am escorted by a guard to the conference room where you get to meet with prisoners. I was wearing a Hawaiian style shirt, shorts and flip flops. I also had a pony tail at the time. When I finished my biz with the prisoner, I walkled out of the room and my escourt was gone. I began walking back towards the front of the joint, and a Captain walked out of a smoking room, saw me, and jacked me up against the wall. He thought I was escapinig from the holding tank. As he was cuffing me, I told hhim I was a lawyer and my escort had abandonded me. He immediately let me go and apologized. For 1/10 of a second, I almost went off on him, but instead shook his hand and handed him a card. I make it a point to be friends with as many cops as possible--I even offer a man-in-uniform discout (not just for cops, but any uniform). This has paid dividends on many occasions.

She is making an example out of herself--why do you want to pay for it?
Besides, if it goes and she gets off, she will become a martyr, and Marion Barry fever will catch on again? You want that??

Exactly right.

The worst punishment for a politician is being unable to answer a serious allegation that most people believe to be true.

What do you mean catch on again? this area is populated by people who got jobs for no other reason than they sucked up to Barry, heaven knows they weren't quallified. That accounts for most of the people working for the DC government. A large percentage of this city is populated by morons with an entitlement mentality, that Barry plays to...and which he helped create in the first place. Thats the only way he could stay in office. He certainly was a piss poor mayor.

If they don't prosecute her then she won and proves you can make false racial profiling accusations ant hit cops just because you are black and cry racial profiling.

Oh god, if this airport bar wasn't so deserted I wouldn't bother, but Bone, she ain't gonna get convicted of assault. If she doesn't get convicted, don't you see that she will na-na-nee-boo-boo all the way to re-election? Don't you see that I don't like the woman and am trying to try to bring about the most punishing result for her? Put down the megaphone, take out the earplugs and re-read my suggestions, please
