Democrats Still Tone Deaf

The Associated Reported yesterday, "In its first action of the lame-duck session, the House voted yesterday to ban so-called crush videos that depict the abuse and killing of animals. The measure would revive, with some modifications, a 1999 law that was struck down by the Supreme Court last April on the grounds it was too broadly written and violated constitutional free speech protections."

The Associated Press did not report on when Democrats in the House addressed 10% unemployment or $3.00 gasoline.

My "news"paper, the Boston Globe, also reported the following yesterday in covering who will fill the leadership positions for the Democrats in House come January, "Things appear to have settled on the Democratic side. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, wants to stay on as Democratic leader, and a Democratic arrangement reached Friday clears the way for Maryland Representative Steny Hoyer to become second in command without a challenge from South Carolina Representative James Clyburn (pictured)."



Yes, the Democrats couldn't have an African-American serve in a leadership role. Like a good little plantation worker, Rep. Clyburn, once his place was explained to him by liberal, white leadership, dutifully took his place at the back of the bus.
