According to sources on Capitol Hill, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a Capitol police officer on Wednesday afternoon after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector.

Members of Congress are not required to pass through metal detectors.

Sources say that the officer was at a position in the Longworth House Office Building, and neither recognized McKinney, nor saw her credentials as she went around the metal detector.

The officer called out, “Ma’am, Ma’am,” and walked after her in an attempt to stop her. When he caught McKinney, he grabbed her by the arm.

Witnesses say McKinney pulled her arm away, and with her cell phone in hand, punched the officer in the chest.

McKinney’s office has not responded to requests for comment.

According to the Drudge Report, the entire incident is on tape.

Drudge continues, "The cop is pressing charges, and the USCP (United States Capitol Police) are waiting until Congress adjourns to arrest her, a source claims."

No charges have been filed. Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider says that senior officials have been made aware of the incident and are investigating.

Another prima donna Democrat...who'da thunkit? It would appear that Houston is not the only city with a Miss Piggy. Is it my imagingation or do these African-American woman, Congressmembers, actually believe that they are royalty? Rather than understanding a guard's desire to conscientiously execute his duties to provide security for the very body in which Ms. McKinney works, instead of being greatful that there are people working to provide for her safety, she behaves like a spoiled brat. I guess that's not entirely fair, all members of Congress seem at time to act like a privillaged class rather than employees of the American people.

A quick look at the picture tells me the guard was well within his rights to stop Ms McKinney. I too failed to recognize her with her new hairstyle. Ingratitude seems to be a standard trait in these prima donna Congresswomen.

Same person? 5 seconds at a quick walk, you tell me.

Seems Miss Piggy is alive and well in the A-T just as much as in H-Town.
