Charlton Heston: More popular than mothers
A resolution sponsored by Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, to honor “the life, achievements, and contributions” of the actor and gun-rights advocate and send condolences to his family drew 112 co-sponsors, the vast majority of them Republicans. Meanwhile, another House resolution by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., which would celebrate “the role of mothers in the United States and [support] the goals and ideals of Mother’s Day,” managed to lure only 54 co-sponsors (bipartisan though they are). Come on, Congress! The man who gave us “Ben-Hur” and “Soylent Green” is TWICE as popular as the woman who bandaged your knee and taught you to tie your shoes?!?! Both measures were scheduled for quick-and-easy votes on Monday night, but because a quorum was not present, action was postponed until Wednesday night. |
