clipped from: www.bleedingheartland.com On Tuesday King distinguished himself as the only member of the U.S. House to vote against placing "a marker acknowledging the role that slave labor played in constructing the Capitol" in a "prominent location in the visitor center's Emancipation Hall." This was not a partisan resolution; 399 members of Congress voted yes, including certifiable wingnuts such as Minnesota's Michele Bachmann.
King objects:
Our Judeo-Christian heritage is an essential foundation stone of our great nation and should not be held hostage to yet another effort to place guilt on future Americans for the sins of some of their ancestors.
Reading King's statement reminded me of Esquire's observation:
King believes himself to be clever, and his list of idiot declarations is probably the longest in Washington.
