Tennessee's Bringing RidiculousBack
Posted on Thu Mar 22nd, 2007 12:28pm PDT By X17 Staff
You might be forgiven for thinking that a resolution put forth by the Tennessee state senate honoring Memphis native Justin Timberlake would be a shoo-in - after all, sourpusses like state Senator Raymond Finney don't come along every day! People.com is reporting that Senator Finney has moved to block the motion praising the local boy for doing good on the grounds that the lyrics to Timberlake's songs frequently run a little inappropriate for the Senator's delicate sensibilities, which strikes us as being COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. I mean, JT might not be Pat Boone - but then again, when was the last time you listened to Pat Boone?
There's also rampant speculation over whether Finney might have taken offense to a distinction going to someone who exposed a nation of innocents to the horrors of one of Janet Jackson's boobs, which would literally make him the last person on the planet to care about that whole mess. Well, maybe him and Pat Boone.
