You know what drama queens democrats are, even John Kerry had to have three purple hearts for a couple of band aid woundsl.

You are wrong. Should happen in the U.S. Senate and dueling should be legalized. Then we’ll see more decorum both in our gov’t and our cities.

Thats it? That is getting punched? I was visualizing a big knuckle-ball on the forehead, or mebbe a nice black eye!
Sen. Lowell Barron, D-Fyffe, needs to quit whining. Sen. Charles Bishop, R-Jasper needs some coaching. (Gotta give him points, tho)!
Standing tall and waiting for the "Oh, this is so uncivilized behavior" incoming!

This kind of stuff did happen, and often, in the federal legislature and in state legislatures. Throughout the 19th century, many a House and Senate debate included verbal insults and physical reprisals. The difference is that legislators of old were not pansies like Mr. Barron.

This is unacceptable behavior. So is directing profanity at the man. They both should be punished in some way.

Nice right cross. Too bad he wasn’t standing in front of him.

Yeah, really ! Bishop is my hero. Barron is a rodent tyrant pig of the highest order and has had that coming for 25 years. We got one of those north of the border here in Tennessee. I’d love to see them kick the $hit out of our Speaker, Boss Hogg... I’m tired of us playing nice with these thugs while they laugh in our faces.

a Republican lawmaker punched a Democratic colleague in the head before they were pulled apart. Republican Sen. Charles Bishop claimed that Democratic Sen. Lowell Barron called him a "son of a (expletive). I responded to his comment with my right hand," Bishop said.
This man should be running for the Republican nomination. At least he has stones...

Half of Sand Mountain has Barron’s name on it. He is a crook and a political thug. As you probably know the Alabama Dems have tossed out the Legislative rules much like the National Dems have. Something like this was bound to happen.

Now if he had hit him with his left hand, I don't think we could stand the embarrassment. ;-)

Fistfights are an improvement over duels, I suppose.
To: gov_bean_ counter
Last dying gasp of the AL rodents before we get our rightful majority control. They’re pathetic. Hey, and where is the former coup plotter, Tiny Jim Folsom ? Bishop missed knocking him on his donkey.

Duels are for between men of honor. Sen. Bishop knows Barron is no gentleman, and delivered him a thwap reserved for drunkards and scoundrels. :-)
