Restoring moral values also is the top response when voters were asked what should be the main focus of Congress. I find this extremely troubling when people believe we need Congress to start legislating moral values. Kind of an oxymoron.

No brains, Mostly-Brawn eats words: Moseley-Braun apologizes for comments made about George Will Check out Nando Media's complete coverage and readers' forum of the Kenneth Starr investigation. CHICAGO (September 7, 1998 7:43 p.m. EDT nandotimes.com) -- Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun apologized Monday for comments she made earlier in the day accusing conservative columnist George Will of racism. "I think because he couldn't say nigger, he said corrupt," Moseley-Braun had said about Will's syndicated column in newspapers Monday detailing allegations of corruption in her 1992 campaign. Mosely-Braun, who is black, also made a veiled reference to the Ku Klux Klan by calling the criticism by Will and other conservatives "a substitute for their hood." The Democrat apologized later that afternoon, saying she lost her temper and used language that was inappropriate. "I was very upset that columnist George Will regurgitated wild charges without telling the truth," the senator said. Will's column rehashed many of the problems that have dogged the Democrat since she first ran for office in 1992, including allegations that she and her former campaign manager and ex-fiance, Kgosie Matthews, spent $281,000 in campaign funds on personal items such as trips, clothing and jewelry. The Department of Justice has declined to pursue the allegations against Moseley-Braun, citing a lack of evidence. In a statement, Will dismissed Moseley-Braun's comments as "cynical name calling." "Calling her many critics names and smearing them as racist is the senator's way of trying to change the subject," Will said. nandotimes.com
