Your use of the perjorative when discussing CJ is off-the-wall laughable.....if anyone is a "little one", its you. But to suggest that you are in the light and CJ in the dark goes beyond the comical...........it enters the realm of the Outer Limits. Republicans snub rocker Springsteen Bruce Springsteen may have been Born In The USA, but he's getting scorned in the US Senate. An effort by New Jersey's two Democratic senators to honour the veteran rocker was shot down by Republicans, apparently still miffed a year after Springsteen lent his voice to the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. The chamber's Republican leaders refused to bring up for consideration a resolution, introduced by Senators Frank Lautenberg and Jon Corzine, that honoured Springsteen's long career and the 1975 release of his iconic album, Born To Run. No reason was given, said Lautenberg spokesman Alex Formuzis. "Resolutions like this pass all the time in the US Senate, usually by unanimous consent," he said. That parliamentary gesture approves a resolution without a vote. Lautenberg said he could not understand why anyone would object to the resolution. "Even if the Republicans don't like (Springsteen's) tunes, I would hope they appreciated his contributions to American culture," he said. Springsteen endorsed Kerry in his losing presidential campaign last year. He made campaign appearances that drew huge crowds who came to hear music described in the resolution as "a cultural milestone that has touched the lives of millions of people", such as his 1984 album, Born In The USA. © Copyright Press Association Ltd 2005, All Rights Reserved. news.scotsman.com
