The House took a break from passing the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission and raising the minimum wage this week to address something equally as important -- congratulating the Florida Gators for winning the national championship in football.
And while 414 lemmings in Congress voted with the resolution "Commending the University of Florida Gators for their victory in the 2006 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and for winning the national college football championship," one man was not afraid to take a stand -- Georgia's Jack Kingston.
The representative from Georgia's 1st Congressional district (who is a frequent gust on the Colbert Report and Real Time with Bill Maher) was the lone maverick who had the balls to vote against the resolution. After all, he's a graduate of Florida's rival, the University of Georgia.
Representative Jack Kingston -- not afraid to take an unpopular stance. That's the type of leadership we need in Washington.
