Lynching Is Wrong
Is it really?
We must be coming up fast on an election year when Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and George Allen (R-VA) are co-sponsoring a bill that apologizes for the Chamber's inability to not outlaw lynching between 1882 to now.
Although non-binding (which means that it is completely meaningless) the bill apologizes for this failure and expresses the "most solemn regrets of the Senate to the descendants of victims of lynching."
Landrieu is a blatant partisan so this doesn't surprise me. Allen, on the other hand does surprise me, although he is running for President and will badly need the African American vote.
I wonder what brave soul is going to vote against this bill?
Ah, politics. What a clean, pure, selfless business.
