Unfriendly encounter lands activist in court

Well-known immigrant rights activist Maria Jimenez goes to court Monday, accused of assaulting the executive director of the Harris County Republican Party.

Jimenez, the head of the mayor's office of immigrant affairs, seems to be taking the matter in stride.

When a police officer informed her of the misdemeanor assault charge during a protest at Harris County Republican Party headquarters Oct. 27, she responded: "Great! We couldn't have planned it better than this."

Jimenez is accused of shoving a box of protest letters into the chest of the Harris County GOP's executive director, Court Koenning, causing him to stumble. She has been ordered to appear before a Houston municipal judge. (snip/...)

2. A stumble bum did you say? Oh a stumble bump. Sorry.

My mind some times is off some place else when I read these things.

3. much like the al franken lawsuit, it seems rethugs are anxious to outFOX

themselves these days. 8^) dragging people into court frivilously only draws more attention to the truth. the goofy right... they'll never learn.

4. What a wimp

what a complete wimp. A girl makes him stumble and he files a lawsuit. Typical GOP girly-boy (to paraphrase Anthrax) wimp.

5. He files a lawsuit?!

I thought the right-wingers were virulent 'lawyer-haters', all? Hmmm. Guess they hate 'em when they don't NEED 'em, huh?
