This is embarrassing but well deserved:The General Assembly got a failing grade from the Virginia NAACP yesterday on the day the national organization commemorated the 100th anniversary of its founding.
Early voting, the "gun-show loophole" and payday lending are some of the areas in which General Assembly action has fallen short of needs, said King Salim Khalfani, executive director of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP.
"This is why the NAACP is necessary," he said during a news conference.
And guess which party took the lead in opposing early voting, payday lending reform, closing the "gun show loophole," etc? I'll give you a hint: they're the ones who also deny global warming, evolutionary science, and the right of women to control their own bodies. Hmmmm.
