that the Capital Policeman was thinking about filing suit - not filing charges against McKinney.

This is just one of those issues that explodes into something that should have been a Warhol moment and done. McKinney should apologize, wear her damn pin and get back to work. The cop should accept the apology and get back to work (if he was truly damaged by a push and a cell phone is he up to protecting the Capital? - I'm just asking). Must ado about nothing but is a perfect foil for the fundies to misdirect the conversation.

We should be talking about the infamous memos proving that Chucklenuts and Blair took us into an illegal war where people are dying every day, or the corruption in DC, or the budget cuts that are hurting millions of Americans, or a deficit that will end up with us being owned by our enemies, but no, instead we are pissing and moaning about a brief altercation between McKinney and a cop. This is a Karl Rove engineered media circus and we took the bait.

If she broke the law, charge, fine, punish but down't allow this little event escalate into something it isn't - worth more than 15 minutes of our time. We have so many more things to worry about.
