Dallas Morning
quote:
House Appropriations Chairman Warren Chisum said Wednesday that he's "willing to apologize" for giving colleagues a document that contains what the Anti-Defamation League called "outrageous anti-Semitic material."
...
He said he believes creation and evolution should both be taught in schools, and he separated himself from what he called "goofy stuff" on the Web site.
"I did not go to the Web site, which I understood maybe I should've done," he said.
League officials said they also sent a letter to Mr. Bridges' office and are investigating whether the document has been distributed in any other statehouses across the country.
...
Rep. Scott Hochberg, a Jewish Democrat from Houston, said he was disturbed by the memo and the "nonsensical, anti-Semitic rant" in the Web site - but that he believed Mr. Chisum's statement that he was "blindsided."
"I take him at his word," Mr. Hochberg said.
