Al Franken allies with Tom Coburn to oppose Uganda's death-to-homosexuals bill
Sen. Al Franken has signed on to a Senate resolution condemning a bill before Uganda's Parliament that would outlaw homosexuality and make it a crime punishable by death. (Hat tip: Minnesota Independent.)
What makes the resolution sponsored by Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold so interesting is that it allies Franken, an unabashed liberal, with co-sponsor Tom Coburn, a dyed-in-the-wool right-wing Republican. The common ground: Saving lives.
The vote should be in favor of the resolution 100-0. If any senators vote against it, they should be targeted for defeat on their next election.
Interesting Freudian slip-of-the-pen there in Coburn's description. Written by a dem?
Ha. Yes, this was written by a dem. I'm e mailing Al now... he should fix that..
Typo has been fixed on the original site (and updated here)
Dang! That almost never works. Thanks!
TOM COBURN is supporting this?
Whoa.
