Patrick Kennedy and Cynthia McKinney-democrats protect their whites, the way it's always been: May 6th, 2006 The American Thinker Thomas Lifson (excerpt) In politics, timing is everything. From my perspective, Patrick Kennedy’s timing could not be better. We are in for a treat as the mid-term elections loom in half a year. The GOP’s opportunity has arrived. Cynthia McKinney’s reaction to the obvious and blatant favoritism enjoyed by Patrick Kennedy is likely to be something to savor. She is already on the record about the indignities she received at the hand of a white cop. But now she sees that for the white boy, supervisors stepped in, relieving the officers at the scene and driving the staggering Kennedy home. She faces potential legal jeopardy, and now a rich white boy walks away without so much as a breathalyzer test from circumstances that would ordinarily demand a drunk driving investigation. At least one cop reportedly says he smelled alcohol. There are reports that a complain has been filed with the union over the supervisors coming in. Supposedly, the Capitol Police have a bit of a generation gap between the older supervisory ranks, accustomed to treating Congress like royalty, and the post 9/11 recruits, many of them ex-military, who see their job as protecting the Capitol from serious terror threats and who see the rules applying to all.
