House Postpones Consideration Of Resolution Honoring George W. Bush

By Michael Moseley  on Mar 12, 2009 in 81st Texas Legislature       [Post to Twitter] Tweet This Post  

The Texas House of Representatives today postponed consideration of a resolution to honor former president and Texas governor George W. Bush after State Rep. Lon Burnam (D-Waco) raised issues over the resolution’s language praising the former president’s anti-torture techniques, reports Quorum Report.

The resolution, HCR 62, was sponsored by Charles “Doc” Anderson (R-Waco). Anderson, you may remember, was previously under hot water for some videos he showed the House Criminal Jurispridence Committee.

At first blush, nothing appeared out of the ordinary with House Concurrent Resolution 62 by Waco Republican Charles “Doc” Anderson, which was scheduled to be taken up during this morning’s floor session.

    links from Technoratia Lone Star State resident, updated me on this ridiculous resolution in the state legislature to honor GWB. Apparently Charles “Doc” Anderson (R-Waco)’s bill HCR 62, ran into a little roadblock when a colleague, State Rep. Lon Burnam (D-Waco)questioned the inclusion of languagethat hailed Bush for his “anti-torture techniques.” You have to read the resolution’s fawning bullsh*t to believe it. It’s below the fold. Here is the resolution’s text: 81R6158 CBE-D By: Anderson H.C.R. No. 62 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
