Respect for the proper role of government and what’s necessary out of Nancy Pelosi. Until now this has been conspicuously absent.
MJ resolution not necessary, says Pelosi:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a message for Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee: Beat It.
The Texas congresswoman — who held aloft her copy of a proposed House resolution honoring Michael Jackson at the King of Pop’s L.A. memorial service — won’t get her wish, the speaker just told reporters at her weekly press conference.
“I don’t think it’s necessary,” said Pelosi, who thinks bringing the measure to a vote would “open up contrary views” about the singer that the House doesn’t need to deal with “at this time.”
The 7,392nd “symbolic resolution” honoring the role of slaves in America was very, very necessary, though.
I think Nancy Pelosi just doesn’t care about black people.

I’d vote for it in exchange for killing the “Climate bill.”
What we need is the opportunity for 435 blowhards to pontificate about a pop culture icon. I’d give them two hours each. By the time they were done, the House would be in campaign mode for 2010 and not interested in taking up Obama’s plans for health care, soaking the rich, stimulus for baby seals, etc……

Why not? Congress already wasted time on athletes and their use of steroids. And they want to tax carbon dioxide now. Why not waste time on frivolous matters like this?
