John Sidney McHyde McHypocrite and the MLK holiday

John Sidney McBush offered an apology yesterday at the Memphis motel where MLK was assassinated for his 1983 vote against the Martin Luther King Holiday Act.

McBush's mea culpa asked his audience to suspend reality. He was in the House of Representative when he voted against the MLK holiday and he was 47 years old! 

McCain's pathetic excuse sounded like that of the late Republican Rep. Henry Hyde (who had the dubious distinction of being the only House member sued for "gross negligence" in a Savings & Loan failure), the lead House member during Bill Clinton's impeachment trial for a stupid sexual peccadillo, excusing himself for adultery saying it was a "youthful indiscretion" when he was 41 years old and married!

McLiar went on in 1987 to say that the then governor of Arizona, Evan Meecham, who rescinded the MLK holiday, was "correct in his decision."

In 2000, Richard Quinn, McCain’s South Carolina spokesperson in 2000, called the MLK holiday “vitriolic and profane.” McCain defended Quinn, calling him a “respected” and “fine man,” refusing to fire him.

Rep.John Conyers, the author of the MLK Holiday Act, talking to an MSNBC host who thought her job was to defend John McCain, was correct in his assessment of John McHypocrite:

"When John McCain was my colleague in the House and I introduced the Holiday bill, he voted against it in 1983…Now I believe in forgiveness, but it’s incredible that all he can do is show up on April 4th and think that everything is OK. We’re not just African Americans, but we’re most people.

"Yea, well look. I’m happy. That was in 1983, he didn’t make any apology, he didn’t make any apologies in 1987, so I guess I’m thrilled and forgiving that finally when he’s running for President he remembers to apologize. No, that’s great."(satirically)

John Sidney McBush has no integrity.
