First you had Rep. Cynthia McKinney slugging a Capitol police officer for daring to stop her after she bypassed a security checkpoint while not wearing the pin that identifies her as a member of Congress. Then, early this morning, Roll Call reports that Rep. Patrick Kennedy nearly hit a Capitol Police cruiser and instead smashed […]
