Welcome to the Crazy, Bubba

Welcome to the Georgia legislature.

A question gentle readers. How do you kill a bill nobody wants?

Your Political Insider explains.
In the blink of an eye, and with no fingerprints, the state Senate may have just deep-sixed H.B. 89, the tortured guns-in-parking-lots bill.
We wait with bated breath on news the thugs are gassing up the jets for a quick flight down here to once again place their pointy-toed lizard-skins on the chests of their wayward brethren.

Stan Wise is well known as the biggest asshole in the state. Let me put that in caps, ASSHOLE. And while SCANA and GNG steal from their customers, its lawyers say: "We cannot have a discussion if there's the threat of a proceeding that's adversarial," he said.

"I want to make sure the marketers are treated right," Everett said.
Wise said any discussion would be "a sham" after a commissioner asked that it be postponed.
But Baker said, "This commission cannot sit idly by and kill this matter because of administrative procedures."
Everett and Wise walked out.
