GO ALABAMA!

Montgomery (AP) - Session-long tensions in the Alabama Senate boiled over Thursday as Republican Sen. Charles Bishop of Jasper punched Democratic Sen. Lowell Barron of Fyffe in the head before the two were pulled apart.

Bishop said he punched Barron after the senator called him a "son of a bitch."

"I responded to his comment with my right hand," Bishop said.

Barron initially refused to comment and went into a closed-door meeting with other Democrats. Sen. Vivian Figures, D-Mobile, was seen going into the Democratic meeting carrying first aid supplies, but she said Barron was not hurt.

Bishop said he regretted throwing the punch because "that's not the way grown men solve their problems," but he said he would not immediately apologize to Barron.

Why don't people like this get thrown out of office? If I did that at work, my butt would be in jail right now.


P.S. He hits like a little girl

I live in AL, and I can tell you that our entire state gov't is a bunch of corrupt tools. We desperately need to redo our state Constitution, but these bastards don't want to let go of their power and money.

No democrats, just Republicans and their punching bags.
