Besides writing for ITB in-season, I do a political blog called,
Kitchen Table Politics. It's a mix of news, analysis, and opinion, without the Youtubesday's here on ITB.
One of the things I do daily is post all the roll call votes in Congress, no smirking please, and ran across this gem yesterday.
The House passed a resolution praising the Florida Gators on their recent National Championship. These things are usually passed unanimously and give said honoree something official to recognize whatever they accomplished.
Not so fast my friend on this one, it passed
414-1. Who in their right mind would go on record against Florida winning the championship? A misplaced Ohio State fan? Steve Spurrier's sister? Some Auburn booster?
None of the above. Ladies and gentleman, meet
Jack Kingston, Georgia's representative from their first district. For this, his party doesn't matter.
Jack Kingston, whose website is designed in Bulldog red and [black] (I goofed), could not let his personal feelings go for 15 seconds to honor 83 kids for a long, hard, season. Mind you he
voted for a resolution FOR Boise State, passing 415-0, but could not bear to vote for the Gators.
Way to show your young people about sportsmanship, sir. Go Gators.
