Comments on: The Week’s First Fake Controversy http://washingtonindependent.com/51856/the-weeks-first-fake-controversy National News in Context Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:25:32 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: lancetroy http://washingtonindependent.com/51856/the-weeks-first-fake-controversy/comment-page-1#comment-55012 lancetroy Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:25:50 +0000 http://washingtonindependent.com/?p=51856#comment-55012 This doesn't shock or bother me. Funny thing is ... I am a descendant of Southern Slaveowners (and not Proud of the slaving past either, just stating it as a matter of fact). My point is .. if it neither shocks nor alarms me, why does it bother Northerners so much? oops another "wise latina" moment. Sorry Northerners, you all are still my friends (the ones that want to be).<br><br>What shocks me MORE is there is no REAL opposition party, from the moment Pelosi said impeachment is off the table ... that should have sounded the alarm. Now look at the watered down health care "reform", this should wake some people up. That's how I see it. This doesn't shock or bother me.

That's Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III of Alabama to you,

And of course, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III of Alabama has always been as strong an advocate for civil rights as his name and home would imply.
