Last Friday, Senators John Corzine and Frank Lautenberg, Democrats of New Jersey, sponsored a resolution congratulating Bruce Springsteen on the 30th anniversary of his album "Born to Run."
However, Sen. Bill Frist or one of his GOP colleagues didn't let the resolution come up for consideration. So much for fairness and cordiality in the Senate!
Presumably, the reason the Republicans dissed the Boss was because he campaigned for John Kerry against Bush. After watching Bush's remarkably disastrous performance after reelection, the Boss looks pretty smart, doesn't he?
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a column whining about the GOP's incessant whining. I got a stack of nasty mail from conservatives calling me all sorts of names. After Frist's pathetically petty move to punish Springsteen, all I can do is gloat. Conservative Republicans simply belong in papmers. They are even more parochial and vindictive than I had imagined. To quote a lyric from The Boss, the GOP is "dancing in the dark".

This type of puerile spitefullness is pandemic with the neocon GOP and, as usual for them, totally unchristian!

Dr. Frist should change his name to Dr. Phibes, a much more appropriate moniker. Gary (NJ)
