Did anyone else watch the West Virginia Senator's speech regarding dog fighting (Michael Vick)?

The first minute or so may be a bit humorous to most of us, as the Senator's delivery is 2 parts To Kill a Mockingbird and 1 part Southern Evangelist, and maybe even a splash of Foster Brooks.

But watch this for the duration......in spite of myself I had tears on my cheeks and was actually very deeply moved. I wish more of our decision makers, whether it be in government or the racing industry wore their hearts on their sleeves like this gentleman.

I just saw the “sound bite” on the news (isn’t that all we ever get anymore?). :rolleyes:

Thanks for the full version Mike. Well described as an impassioned ‘To Kill a Mockingbird indeed!
