The race card still works
Ah, preferential treatment for members of Congress, who'd a thunk it? Union seeks ethics probe of McKinney.
The DA has refused to indict Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) for striking a police officer. It seems that if you yell "HE'S WHITE I'M BLACK! DISCRIMINATION!" loud and long enough, people will give you your way just to shut you up. Of course, this just emboldens her to scream louder the next time a White gets within 10 feet of her.
Anyway, the Capitol Police want an ethics investigation on Ms. McKinney to try and punish her for hitting a police officer. I doubt it will go anywhere, but after removing William Jefferson (D-LA) before charges have even been brought from his seat on the Ways and Means Committee, you never know. The Dems are pretty eager to show they don't "share" in the "culture of corruption" that they accuse the Republicans of having.
