That gurl needs a curl!

So I think this whole McKinney thing has gotten out of hand. She was even, dare I say, apologetic at one time. I also listened to her interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. (You can watch it here.) Leave it to a lawyer to muck it up and convince her to draw the gender/race card.

Just a thought... my husband works for a "chip maker" and has to scan a badge to get in and around the facility. He can't get in without it, finito! As a taxpayer, I would gladly help foot the bill for something a little more in line with 21st-century security rather than a "congressional lapel pin". (Too reminescent of the "pledge pin" in Animal House!)

Apparently, when she was not recognized, McKinney tried to bypass the checkpoint and was stopped by the Capitol Hill officer. I don't know about you but if a cop asks me to stop, I'm going to stop. If she did indeed strike the officer, as alleged, then she is in the wrong. Kudos to the officers for doing their job!

One tidbit that Wolf did mention at the end of the interview was her previous experience with officers on Capitol Hill. (Really, watch the interview!)

Reading through the Zonitics blog, I stumbled upon the upcoming pic that was released by Fox News. (Wait for it!)

Gurlfriend is having a hard time. I hope she can get everything straightened out, no pun intended.
