The lawyer for Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga), who punched a Capitol Police officer who stopped her when he didn't recognize her as a Member of Congress, says that she's guilty only of "being in Congress while black."

From which I deduce that white congressmen routinely punch Capitol policemen with impunity, eh?

By contrast, Rep. McKinney's own comment is about exactly right. She blew it, and she knows it- and she, herself, seems willing to face up to that fact.

Guess it's a case of the person who doesn't represent herself having a fool for a lawyer.

Notice, BTW, who come out in the third from last paragraph of this blatently biased AP article as the bad guys.

It's really true -- lawyers often encourage originally reasonable clients to become completely unreasonable. Did you see where Michael Schiavo was willing to walk away and let Terri's parents take care of her, but his lawyer (a major euthanasia advocate) talked him out of it?

Paul's feeling that law courts are places to be avoided if at all possible is right.
