The confederacy is alive and well in the GOP leadership

Frist vetoed full vote on lynching

From the (registration-restricted) Atlanta Journal Constitution, a claim that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has waded into a political whirpool.

#
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) refused repeated requests for a roll call vote that would have put senators on the record on a resolution apologizing for past failures to pass anti-lynching laws, officials involved in the negotiations said Tuesday.

And there was disagreement Tuesday over whether Saxby Chambliss, one of Georgia's two Republican senators, had supported the measure when it was approved Monday night.

* Can't have those southern GOP leaders condemning lynching.
