McKinney Has "Something New" to Say

A local TV station is reporting that Rep. Cynthia McKinney has "something new to say" about her cop slugging incident on Capitol Hill:

U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-4th Ga.) is expected to have something new to say about her run-in with a Capitol police officer at a news conference on Monday morning.

The incident happened last week. McKinney says she was the victim of racial profiling by Capitol police in the incident.

McKinney’s spokespersons say that she will have “something new” to say at a 10:30 a.m. news conference, at the Community Church of Christ on Cascade Road in southwest Atlanta.

Maybe she's planning to play the "extraterrestrial card" or something else equally wacky. Michelle Malkin suggests that "I'm sorry" would be appropriate, but I certainly don't expect to hear that.

UPDATE: Here's Michelle Malkin's report on the "something new" press conference by Cynthia McKinney and friends (video here):

Finished watching Rep. Cynthia McKinney and friends' grievance-fest in Atlanta. It was streamed live at WXIA. We were promised "something new." But the assortment of local race card-wielders lauded McKinney's leadership, bashed the police, and pounded the anti-racial profiling drum.

Same old, same old.

One loud speaker assailed Capitol Hill security for daring to touch McKinney and exclaimed repeatedly:

"Our sister was set up! Set up!"

McKinney basked and attempted to deflect attention from her legal troubles by touting her ability to secure things like "sidewalk funding" for her constituents:

You would think there would be some Democrat official out there somewhere brave enough to express embarrassment at this continuing spectacle--and wise enough to come to the defense of law enforcement.

Guess not.
