Sen. George Allen is spending today trying to cover up his history of racial insensitivy by holding a news conference to apologize for the Senate's failure to pass anti-lynching laws. On the first day of Black History Month, Allen joins Democrat Mary Landrieu in introducing a Senate resolution apologizing for the Senate's filibustering of House-passed anti-lynching laws in the 20th century.

Editorial Note: The Scoop applauds the introduction of this resolution but believes VA should be represented in the Senate by someone without Allen's record of racial insensitivity.
