McKinney hits Capitol officer at checkpoint
Thursday, March 30th, 2006Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia struck a Capitol Hill police officer Wednesday morning after the officer, not recognizing her as a member of Congress, tried to stop her from stepping around a security checkpoint, police confirmed.
I guess Representative McKinney is too important to deal with the help. But this raises a much bigger issue. Does it realy only take a lapel pin to get past security on Capital Hill?
