House Speaker Robbie Wills delivers votes to his master, Gov. Mike Beebe
Whip It: Gov. Mike Beebe says getting votes on cigarette tax hike will be tougher in state Senate than in House, which was much easier because Speaker Robert “Robbie” Wills is an android programmed to do Beebe’s bidding at all times. (AP)
Tailgunner: Another article on blogging legislators, and just to be clear, Majority Leader Steve Harrelson is NOT just like Sen. Joseph McCarthy. (Arkansas Times)
Labor Dispute: Bill filed in House would target contractors who hire illegal immigrants, so I guess I’m going to have to get rid of that kid I hired to scour the Internet for nude photos of Tina Sherman. “Me gusta buscar a las fotografias pornograficas, Senor Kinkade,” he told me when we talked yesterday. I guess it’s back to Guatemala and harvesting pineapples with a machete for $3 a week for him. (Arkansas News Bureau)
Stuff Your Sorries in a Sack: GOP Rep. Mark Martin has to apologize for heckling Democratic House member during speech, because Arkansas legislators are a big bunch of whiny little girls. “Ohmigosh! He yelled out during my speech! I’m telling the Governor!” God, these guys would just fold up into a ball if they had to, say, set foot in the British House of Commons. (Politics in Arkansas blog)
The Critic: Blake Rutherford, in an ill-advised fit of candor, admits that he goes to see chick flicks, opening up an entirely new avenue for mockery by me. Arkansas Project Girlfriend (APG) was insisting that I take her to see “He’s Just Not That Into You” tonight, so to get out of it I ‘accidentally’ slammed my hand in the car door. Pretty neat trick, huh? By the way, does anyone have access to morphine? (Blake’s Think Tank)
