| Description | House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a message for Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee: Beat It.
The Texas congresswoman — who held aloft her copy of a proposed House resolution honoring Michael Jackson at the King of Pop's L.A. memorial service — won't get her wish, the speaker just told reporters at her weekly press conference.
"I don't think it's necessary," said Pelosi, who thinks bringing the measure to a vote would "open up contrary views" about the singer that the House doesn't need to deal with "at this time."
In sotto voce, she acknowledged Jackson as a "great performer" — but scoffed when a reporter asked about the resolution. |
