"Naturally, I would say, it's the wine."
When the phone rings past ten on a Friday night, my heartbeat quickens and I reach for the Nokia with breathless anticipation. I also do a quick inventory: Wine? Check. Music? Of course. Good news all the way around.
"Hello?"
Oh, it's about politics. A funny video that sums up Rod Smith and his hypocrisy and don't I wanna watch it? Of course I do. No reason to put the wine away. Like I said, good news all the way around. Check it out for yourself and enjoy.

As a liberal, that vote in 1990 by Davis on Pitts/Lee has to give you concern and his refusal to apologize about it has to make you wonder. But I guess you're willing to forgive Davis, even though he isn't asking for anyone's forgiveness.
The one needing to be forgiven is Rod Smith. Freddie Pitts said he would not support Rod Smith, and demanded an apology for using his name without permission.
Sorry, John F., the type of mentality that what happened 16 years ago doesn't matter promises absolution of all those who currently discriminate, oppress or, in the least benignly support injustice if enough years pass.
There is no statute of limitations and there shouldn't be. Freddie Pitts may have criticized Smith, but he also asked that Davis apologize, which he didn't.
Davis' decision was not one that can be attributed to a mistake of youth. He was a member of the State House and an attorney. It is a simple equation - he claims to subsribe to the rule of law in the Schiavo case, but in the Pitts/Lee case he chooses to ignore, in the least, the pardon by Governor Askew and three members of the Cabinet.
What we can deduce is that your rights and justice will be preserved by Davis if it fits into his long range political plan.
Again, he stands by his decision. It wouldn't have even been an issue had Davis just said, "I made a mistake and I regret it. I can't take it back, but I errored, I am human."
Instead, he said that there wasn't enough evidence and he stands by his decision. Every reasonable person reading the evidence knows he was either wrong or playing politics. You could defend him if he said he made a mistake, but he is indefensible in his claims that his judgement at the time was the right thing to do.
