The latest grandstanding from Cynthia McKinney:

The Capitol Police said Monday that they were seeking a warrant to arrest Representative Cynthia A. McKinney for an altercation with a police officer last week.

In addition to the rarity of a member of Congress facing such an arrest, the case has also attracted national attention because Ms. McKinney has contended that, as a black woman, she was mistreated because of racial bias.

She held a news conference on Friday to denounce the actions of the officer, flanked by the entertainers Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte and surrounded by black schoolchildren holding signs that read, “Is Cynthia a target?”

Here’s a picture from CNN:

Congresswoman, don’t hide behind a bunch of kids. They don’t know if you’re a “target.” Someone (probably from your office) just gave them signs to hold.
