Not trying to put blame on/wash blame off anyone here, but Tom Joyner was just saying Thursday morning on the radio that compared to her "Class Picture" from the Congressional Directory, she was unrecognizeable. He and the co-hosts of his show mentioned a new hairdo and possibly some makeup/plastic surgery.
I also don't know who touched/hit who first, but I pretty much know from experience that you don't hit a member of law enforcement in this type of situation.
If you're equipped between the ears with the kind of data banks that can memorize and categorize every face of every Representative in the House, yo ass needs to be curing HIV or cancer, not being a Capitol Policeman. It's kinda ridiculous that they'd expect their officers to do that.
