Shock And Appall

TNGOP spokesman Bill Hobbs on the news that Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh will have the benefit of two assistants:

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Republican Party is appalled to learn from news reports that former House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh has been assigned two assistants at a time when the state is facing huge deficits and many lawmakers are having to share a single secretary.

“Jimmy Naifeh is no longer the speaker and there is no reason he should have two secretaries and assistants at a time many lawmakers are having to share just one assistant, and the state is facing a severe budget crunch,” said Bill Hobbs, communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party.

Well, if true, Bill is absolutely right about that; and any legislator who set Jimmy up this way is a piece of excrement.

For once in a long time, Bill Hobbs is right.
