Kennedy and McKinney

Tomas Lifson has a good piece at the American Thinker blog:

Never known for self-control or thoughtfulness, Representative McKinney is going to have a hard time keeping her mouth shut.

She could denounce favoritism, of course. But she is asking for favoritism herself, so that won’t work out too well. Even McKinney can see this.

So she will demand “equal treatment” – meaning equal immunity from the laws which govern the rest of us.

But that argument raises awkward questions for the rest of the United States Congress. We are going into an election, with opponents of either party ready to remind the voters that Congressman X has lost touch with the ordinary folks back home. One would expect a flurry of statements from members of Congress affirming the need elected representatives to live by the same laws as the rest of us.

You know McKinney was ready to open her piehole yesterday but was muzzled by Pelosi and the rest of the donk leadership. How often is Cynthia McKinney not available for the cameras? She's a publicity whore in the Charles Shumer mold.

I say hold hearings on this issue. The two main culprits as of late have been Democrats and I would love to see how they handle having the momentum shifted against them.
