Cynthia McKinney apparently just apologized on the House floor. Maybe she’s realizing that the security and integrity card may trump the race card.

[Update]

It’s a non-apology apology:

“There should not have been any physical contact in this incident,” McKinney said in brief remarks on the House floor. “I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all and I regret its escalation and I apologize.”

Translation: “He started it.”

I’m sure she’s sorry that it happened, but only because she may have to answer for it, not because she really believes that she did anything wrong. I hope that the GJ returns an indictment, but if not, there’s always the Constitutional option. Unfortunately, this “apology” will give Dems the cover they need to not support even censure, let alone expulsion.

Then again, maybe not. This woman is like the Energizer Bunny of stupidity. She has hired a personal body guard, who apparently shoved a reporter outside the Capitol Building. Was he going to accompany her through the checkpoints, in case the Capitol police gave her any more trouble?

Amazing.

Senator Grassley thinks that private tax preparers aren’t up to the job:

Denis Boyles has some answers to frequently-asked questions about just what the heck is going on in France.

Cynthia McKinney’s home town paper doesn’t think much of her assault and moonbattery.

McKinney’s haughty position

Congressman Rohrabacher is calling for a new investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing:

“The official position today, defended by the FBI and Justice Department, is that the OKC bombing, which left 168 persons dead, was planned and executed solely by two disgruntled veterans, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, with the limited involvement of Michael Fortier,” writes Rohrabacher. “After my inquiry I have concluded that others were involved and that information about the bombing is being kept from the public and from the Congress. The jurisdiction of my Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations extends only to the possible international and foreign involvement in the crime. Even within that framework there is ample evidence to justify an investigative hearing.”

…Rohrabacher concludes in his memo to Hyde: “(I)t is highly likely that the Arab connection and or the Strassmeier connection played a significant role in the planning and execution of the murderous bombing of the OKC federal building. In both possible scenarios, the official investigation fell short and further investigation has been discouraged ever since.”

He’s been working with Jayna Davis (who, in my opinion, should get a Pulitzer, particularly in light of all of the official noncooperation she’s encountered). This botched investigation (and continuing coverup) is one of the many things for which the Clinton administration has never been held to account.

After a phone conversation with Jayna Davis, “Doug from Upland” has some questions for Congressman Rohrabacher.

Apparently the Secretary of State is quite the diplomat:

A few hours earlier, Mr Armstrong had been declaiming the war in Iraq in forceful tones in front of the nation’s media. Now, he appears to have undergone a quasi-religious conversion. But you can’t blame him. This, it seems, is quite simply the Condi effect.

However much people might dislike the thought of Condoleezza Rice, 51, one of the key architects of the Iraq war, defender of Guantanamo Bay and staunch ally of George Bush, it seems that they cannot help but be won over by the reality.

I don’t know if she can win an election, but as SecState, so far, she seems to be a hit overseas.

Ramesh Ponnuru writes about them.

When the National Review is pointing this stuff out, you know that the elephants are in trouble. I hope they can get their act together, because the thought of the donkeys being in charge, given their recent (and not-so-recent) behavior is (still) even more frightening. It’s depressing, really.

Cynthia McKinney’s lawyer has finally played the race card. Well, at least she’s not blaming the Joooos.
