JFC this guy is the Commander McBragg of the Civil Rights movement
He was so moved by Martin Luther King's decision to appoint him to lead the Selma March and deliver his eulogy that he dedicated his 1974 Anti-busing bill to him
At the tender age of 5, he stowed aboard a tramp steamer to India and was side-by-side with Gandhi on the hunger strike that brought Indian independence. This is why is fascinated by those sing-songy Indian accents of 7-11 and Dunkin Donut clerks

Fantastic thread by @iowahawkblog on @JoeBiden's malarkeyisms on support for marriage equality. It's great that Prez was ultimatley a force for change, but did he have to lie abt it like it's his academic record?
