I AM THE FORCE

I wish more regular people would have the opportunity to see what goes on when the partisan caucuses go into closed session. Probably the best stories in state legislative history have happened behind those closed doors. Unfettered by either media or public scrutiny, legislators can let their hair down, scream what they really think, and generally act like an unsupervised kindergarten. Leadership makes demands, backbenchers grouse, and confrontations seem the rule rather than the exception. Hatred comes out into the open, and arrogant personalities run wild. It would truly be a service if a few legislators would create a blog to relate some of the best stories from their reverse open records meetings. The story that immediately comes to mind, has to do with then Representative -- now RINO Senator -- Mary Lazich. During a heated argument in a closed door budget caucus a few years ago, Lazich screamed out the timeless demand, "Stop f***ing my face!" Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard me right. If only legislators would come forward with more of these great stories, someone could use the material to write a heck of a book. And if the legislators don't want the work of creating their own blog, they can feel free to post the stories here on my site. Please? This stuff is too entertaining to keep to yourselves!
