For him, that clearly was not the right answer.

April 25, 2007 -- There was once a time in Congress when the US Capitol Police withheld their political views. However, since Terrance Gainer took over as Chief with the backing of people like Tom DeLay, that has all changed. Gainer is now the Senate (the Democratic Senate) Sergeant-at-Arms. However, his legacy of politicizing the US Capitol Police lives on. When this editor arrived at the House Cannon Office Building yesterday to cover Dennis Kucinich's noon news conference on his bills of impeachment of Dick Cheney, I asked one of the Capitol Police where the Second Floor Terrace was located. The police officer asked what was going on there and I mentioned Kucinich's bills of impeachment against Cheney. He shook his head and rolled his eyes and uttered, "When are they going to stop." I answered, "When Cheney and Bush are gone." For him, that clearly was not the right answer.
