Cynthia McKinney--A Gift to Every Blogger

Cynthia McKinney was forced by the Donk powers that be to apologize on the floor of the House. With grand jury charges maybe pending, it was a smart move by her party superiors.

But Ms. McKinney being Ms. McKinney jumped out of one fire and into a barbecue:

But even as McKinney appeared to be trying to put the issue to rest, a bodyguard she hired – reportedly a former Georgia state trooper – was raising another furor when he threatened a television reporter trying to interview McKinney outside the Capitol just minutes before she appeared on the House floor.

When the reporter from Cox Broadcasting tried to ask McKinney about the grand jury, the bodyguard told him, "I'm going to put your ass in jail. I'm a police officer," a videotape of the incident shows.

Asked if he worked for Capitol police, the man said, "I work for Miss McKinney."

Word that McKinney had hired a bodyguard roiled the ranks of the Capitol police who were worried that the guard was carrying a weapon. They said they are concerned about what the bodyguard might do if Capitol police challenged McKinney at a security checkpoint.

Now McKinney has bodyguards who believe they have arrest power. Nice.
