WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life. Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution."

Reuters – Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee displays House Resolution 600 honouring Michael Jackson,
RACIST!!! It can’t be that she smartened up, so she MUST be a RACIST!
Waste of time and money. Same as the steroids debacle. Same as the Tipper Gore/music debacle. These people are morons.
Thank you, Congresswoman Lee, for giving a heartfelt tribute to this American icon.
Wow. Do I actually agree with Pelosi on something?
Well, isn’t that nice of Pinko Pelosi to refuse the honoring of a child rapist.
Poor SanFranNan...SHE’S not racist because SHE would vote for it, but she can’t abide the spectacle of all those racist representatives who would speechify against it. So
she’s quashing it.
However, if Sheila and the Black Caucus want to, they can make her life miserable for doing so.
Popcorn, anyone?
GO BLACK CAUCUS! You’ve been DISSED by the RACIST, PELOSI!! Stand your ground....she is NOT your SLAVEMASTER.....or is she???? hmmmmmmmm
Wow, even Nancy Pelosi is less ig’nant than Shuckin-Jivin Sheila Jackson “It’s a Blacks-Only World” Lee.
But not by much.
I bet Pelosi ends up pandering on this one.
Would not surprise me, once the Congressional Black Caucus tells her what she must do.
Well, well...I actually AGREE with Pelosi.
Given King’s idiotic remarks, it would be nice if the Jackson family could have AT LEAST a moment of peace before continuing to be ripped to shreads. They’re already being ‘shamed’ by the media for supposedly encouraging, forcing, using, staging (pick one) daughter Paris’ comments for somekind of ridiculous ulterior motive. Gawd forbid the media find themselves in a position to have to report on any hint of normalcy in the Jackson family, even for a single day.
Does anyone have a link to the Michael Jackson jokes thread?
I cannot believe she would disrespect the Black Caucus. She must not be in a close re-election campaign.
Queen Sheila slapped by her own party ! I love it !
