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.
