Hello again…
It’s Wednesday and in the middle of the week starting down the other side we find the folks at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar on the Caroliner Line… are engaged in conversation about Mr. Obama and the frequency with which they see him on the Tube… and it’s not “My Tube” either…
Sen. Harry Reid, Majority Leader of the Democrats in the United States Senate, began his History lesson last Monday morning with the intention of shaming Republicans for their speeches in opposition – filibustering – the call of the Senate Majority Leader for a procedural vote in which he was hoping to have enough votes … he needed 60 … to win.
So he talked at length about those who were saying ‘slow down’ you’re going too fast! -- Back in 1964, apparently forgetting Senator Robert C. Byrd – who was one of those filibusterers. One of his own party, in fact a former Majority Leader himself, who spoke for a whole day against the legislation … the Civil Rights bill of 1964.
Oh it’s easy to forget “inconvenient” facts when you’re on a roll… and the Dems *are* indeed on a roll. One which I’m guessing sooner or later, probably sooner, will come back to bite them big time. Mr. Byrd, the longest serving member of Congress…in ill health is also a former hood-wearing member of the Ku Klux Klan. I’m aware of the fact he has long-ago renounced his participation in that gang – and people have forgiven him for his earlier ‘indiscretion’ – but apparently the current Majority Leader has also forgotten.
Yes, we know politicos are prone to have selectric memories… with lots of white-out ribbon… but a leader complaining of the hypocrisy on the ‘other’ side stands awfully close to his own glass house as he slings those verbal brick bats. One of them will slip, or bounce or break and crash into his artful argument. The “Senator from Searchlight” ought to exercise greater care and restraint.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
