OK, IM FUCKING MAD AS HELL AT THIS
WASHINGTON -- Some Republican members of Congress want to commend U.S. Capitol Police after a confrontation between an officer and a congresswoman.
North Carolina Republican Patrick McHenry said he believes the Capitol Police should be commended for their daily professionalism. He said ignoring a police officer's order is never OK.
McKinney says her dispute with police isn't about whether she obeyed an officer's order. The six-term congresswoman says she was "inappropriately touched." She has said she thinks it happened partly because she's black.
McHenry, 30, is the youngest member of Congress. He said he is routinely stopped and asked for identification.
McKinney hasn't found much support from fellow Democrats. The party's No. 2 House member, Steny Hoyer, of Maryland, said lawmakers and others should "cooperate fully" with Capitol Police officers.
The particulars of this story don't matter much to me. I wasn't there, I didn't see what happened. It's really none of my business.
But these FUCKING Repubs are making hay out of this all over the net, on Redstate, on Fox, like this is some major crime.
Some scuffle where no one even went to the hospital and they think this is something that can offset:
*A possibly drunk Dick Cheney shooting someone on a hunting trip
*Presidential Aide who's apparently a klepto shoplifter
*CIA Agent Leak
*Lobbying crimes of Abramoff, DeLay, etc
*Illegal Wiretapping of American citizens
*billions gone to Halliburton..and are now just GONE.
I am so sick of this shit --- usually I'm the moderate here at DKos who usually brushes stuff off with "well whaddya expect from these guys?" But for some reason, this is the straw on the camel's back today.
I would say that McHenry's email should be firebombed, but we all know these guys don't open their own stuff, so screw that....but...I just feel like I want to do SOMETHING. Any ideas??
No matter what, we really, really, REALLY, have to make these dicks suffer in November.
