Over the weekend, Lowell Feld over at Blue Virginia blurbed about submitted legislation; which is to say he continued his annual cartoonish and foolish rant making fun of GOP bills. In it, the blogger obviously bashes three GOP bills, and gushess over two bills submitted by Dems(though he does honorably mention Delegate Habeeb's initiative to re-enfranchise nonviolent felons). Feld makes himself look a particular fool while attacking Delegate Tim Hugo's HB11.
Little does Mr. Feld know that he is firing on his own squad. Hugo's bill, which deals with mapping in Virginia's textbooks, is already supported by both parties, will be co-sponsored by a Korean-American Democrat and has already been cleared with Governor-elect McAuliffe.
Mark Keam will co-sponsor in the House, David Marsden will carry it in the Senate, and the Governor-elect has already clarified that he would sign it. Feld "doubt[s] that Delegate Hugo cares about the dispute over what the Sea of Japan (which most Koreans believe should be named the East Sea) is labeled as in Virginia textbooks"
Your idiocy is showing, Lowell.
It doesn't surprise me that a vitriolic spin doctor like Feld wouldn't take the time to realize that the bill is meant to right a historic wrong between two nations. But five minutes of research would have shown him that Delegate Hugo represents a large and thriving Korean community. One look at LIS, and Feld would have understood Tim Hugo actually cares about representing his constituents.
Is the truth too much work, Lowell?
