Sessions to do that 'crack cocaine' thing?
(AP) – 3 hours ago

WASHINGTON — It's pretty certain that Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., didn't mean what he said.

He was talking to Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, about scheduling a Senate Judiciary hearing on the disparity of the penalties for crack cocaine versus powder cocaine

Sessions said he and Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., had been talking about it. "Senator Leahy and I were talking during these hearings, we're going to do that crack cocaine thing you and I have talked about before," Sessions said.

2. Oh the delicious irony in this...
If someone were to take what Sessions said "out of context" just like he did Judge Sotomayor's comment re "wise latina woman", well, damn, one could say Sessions is "doing that crack cocaine thing"!
