Finally, A GOP Lawmaker with Balls… and a Right Hook
From Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Simmering tensions in the Alabama Senate boiled over Thursday when a Republican lawmaker punched a Democratic colleague in the head before they were pulled apart.
Republican Sen. Charles Bishop claimed that Democratic Sen. Lowell Barron called him a “son of a (expletive).”
“I responded to his comment with my right hand,” Bishop said. Alabama Public Television tape captured the punch.
Barron refused to comment and went into a closed-door meeting with other Democrats. Sen. Vivian Figures went into the meeting carrying first aid supplies, but she said he was not hurt…
Members of the Alabama House said the incident makes the entire Legislature look bad.
“It’s certainly a black eye on the Legislature and the Senate in particular,” Republican Rep. Jay Love said.
Proof,
I left that last sentence in, knowing you’d appreciate Representative Love’s bemused sense of humor.
