NASHVILLE, Tenn. -
Justin Timberlake won't be bringing sexy back to the Tennessee Legislature.

State Sen. Ophelia Ford had introduced the resolution to honor Timberlake, a Tennessee native, "for his highly successful music career and for his meritorious service to the State of Tennessee."

But Sen. Raymond Finney, R-Maryville, removed it from a list of resolutions that is expected to get unanimous support in the Senate.

Republican senators took issue with calling attention to Timberlake's latest album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," and to song titles such as "SexyBack" and "Rock Your Body."

1. wow...

the repubs got it right for a change...i don't agree with the reasons, but i DO agree with no honors being bestowed on him...Timberlake has been shitting on the airwaves with his so-called music for far too long!

2. he's talented I think

but is this really what legislators should be worried about? Christ. He must have given her a big campaign donation or something.

3. I bet the State Legislature has a lot of more important issues to deal with
