How about what really happened from somebody that was there. To bad Representative Ehrhart got it wrong from his squeeze. The Speaker came out of that commitee meeting at a pace that would put Peachtree Speed Walkers to shame. His body guard had to trot to catch up. Trying to ask the Speaker about a question about his divorce is far grounds when he gets something others don’t. The camera dudes from Channel 5 and 2 were in a public building doing their job. The Speaker using State employees to avoid fessing up to the public is just wrong. The trooper put his hands out to block the hallway. The camera guys tried to walk past, at that point the body guard dropped his shoulder and pushed the guy from channel 2 into the wall. Personally I think the Ch2 guy showed great restraint, he could have just stepped on him(big dude). Clelia was screaming “we’ve got a meeting…stop!”… she got tangled up with the cameraman from Channel 11.(who missed everything).

Hey Steve, I’m happy to take on the Speaker, but not on his divorce when there appears to be no ground.

“Huckabee Supporters like Jace and Icarus are a mean bunch. I’d advise not to cross them.”

Especially don’t do anything really, really dumb like calling either of them Huckabee supporters.

You’re really wanting to drag this out Farris?

Tommy,

I hope you find your ride home this evening invigorating and fulfilling. Because you won’t ever have to worry about driving that car EVER again.

Hey Chris Farris, if you would pack heat like I do you would not have to be scared of all the hits put out on you.

In this wacky post-911 world in which we find ourselves, I believe we’d be remiss if we didn’t take a moment to remember that faithful sentiment:

“Can’t we all just get along?”

Tommy,

I tried, but when the took the dog hostage I had to relent.

Tommy,

Did you also tell black people to stop fighting for equality?

Did you tell our troops to stop fighting to give the Iraqi’s a better life?

Did you tell Nelson Mandela to stop fighting against his unlawful imprisionment?

Did you tell Eli Manning to stop fighting against the Patriot pass rush?

I bet you’ve never had a dream. Until you’ve had something worth fighting for, you’ll never understand.

The Speaker is a goon. Stop believing the spin everytime they throw it at you. Is no one clear on his pattern of behavior and actions yet? How many times do you grant a man amnesty before you remove your blindfold. Wake up.

Maybe the cameraman was just trying to get to know his spokesman. After all, she was the “most attractive” person in the capitol! Right?

“Earl:
What is the possibility of a House Resolution commending Peach Pundit for setting a new record for the number of comments in a thread?”

I know that dude (the cameraman) and let’s just say he isn’t a person I’d want to hang out with. Clelia, also someone I know, IS someone I’d want to hang out with – politics aside. Anyone that knocks her out of the way deserves whatever is coming to them.

The GPB folks are consummate professionals in every way. Their reporters may be a bit green, but I know that one of their camera-folks has been shooting for 15 years, and the other one has been at the game for 7 or 8. On top of their skill, they both are some of the nicest people you’ll meet down there.

True aardfark,

The GPB Lawmakers are fine young people who still practice the profession of journalism.

Hey Steve why dont you go to FOX and see the interview with Judge Osborne and then tell me which facts are wrong with what he says.

Or even better ask anyone who practices domestic relations law and then enumerate your so called facts with respect to special treatment.

“What do you supposed GPB knows about camera work and interviewing that WSB doesn’t?”

That if they piss off the speaker, they’ll be broadcasting over the intercom at Parkview High School?

Wow. This kind of stuff never happens to the fine folks over at GPB’s “Lawmakers.”

What do you supposed GPB knows about camera work and interviewing that WSB doesn’t?
