Rep. Jo Ann "Candy Cane" Davis has been hard at work defending Christian symbols. I've already noted how she put much less effort into voting against a treaty she didn't support a few months back. And even while tying up the House debating about candy canes, she could have spent the valuable taxpayer-paid time of Congress on a more important issue:
The federal government received failing and mediocre grades yesterday from the former Sept. 11 commission, whose members said in a final report that the Bush administration and Congress have balked at enacting numerous reforms that could save American lives and prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.The 10-member bipartisan panel -- whose book-length report about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks became a surprise bestseller -- issued a "report card" that included 5 F's, 12 D's and two "incompletes" in categories including airline passenger screening and improving first responders' communication system.
At the time she was introducing her Christianity-saving resolutions, Davis was chairing the Subcommittee on Intelligence Policy and National Security! So, rather than working on the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission to ensure our national security, she was more worried about the North Pole's security.
Good to see where her priorities are at.
