Frist & the Anti-Lynching Resolution

Update: Republic of T. asks: Do Republicans Like Lynching?

"It certainly looks that way. Or at least they seem to think their constituents like it. First, all the non-signers to the Senate’s resolution apologizing for failing to outlaw lynching are Republicans. Now it looks Senator Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, vetoed a full role call vote that would have put members on record. "

There's more.


Sharon Cobb reports that a story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution 'points the finger' at Frist as the person responsible for the failure to hold a roll call vote on the anti-lynching resolution.

Frist is allegedly preparing for a presidential bid in 2008. I think he has a better shot at getting a job on right-wing talk radio.
