Pelosi's explanation for shelving the Jackson honor? It would have opened up "two contrary views that are not necessary at this time to be expressed." In other words Nancy was afraid some of her colleagues, like the vocally anti-Jackson Peter King, would turn debate on the resolution into an opportunity for a rant against Jackson and all other diseased pedophiles. Which would've been taken by certain people as a racist attack and...well, it's summer and it's hot, and that's how riots get started.
