Your White Sheet’s Showing

You know, I understand that being a politician is a little trickier than meets the eye. Living in the public spotlight means that virtually ever decision you make is going to be scrutinized by the public, a group of people who also happen to hold your future in their vote casting hands.

So, yeah, lot’s of hard decisions. But one that seems easy to me is signing your name to a piece of paper that apologizes on behalf of a bunch of bigots for lynching and killing innocent black men about a hundred years ago. I mean, come on, who can’t at least pretend to apologize for the attrocities committed against a subjugated race?

Via Americablog, these are who:

Lamar Alexander (R-TN) – (202) 224-4944Robert Bennett (R-UT) – (202) 224-5444Thad Cochran (R-MS) – (202) 224-5054John Cornyn (R-TX) – (202) 224-2934Michael Crapo (R-ID) – (202) 224-6142Michael Enzi (R-WY) – (202) 224-3424Chuck Grassley (R-IA) – (202) 224-3744Judd Gregg (R-NH) – (202) 224-3324Orrin Hatch (R-UT) – (202) 224-5251Kay Hutchison (R-TX) – (202) 224-5922Jon Kyl (R-AZ) – (202) 224-4521Trent Lott (R-MS) – (202) 224-6253Richard Shelby (R-AL) – (202) 224-5744John Sununu (R-NH) – (202) 224-2841Craig Thomas (R-WY) – (202) 224-6441

Give them a call, I’m sure they’ll be happy to hear your undying support for their bigotted cause.
