The Bizzaro World Of Tennessee Politics

By Kleinheider Posted on November 5, 2009 at 8:29 am

[Kent] Williams became speaker with votes from Democrats and has been cast out of the state Republican Party. But, in bizarro world, he is hosting a fund-raiser in Knoxville on Friday with Republican caucus members as co-hosts to raise money for Republican legislative candidates. Running against the Democrats who voted for him. To elect members of the party that refuses to let him be a member.

Except the story is not correct. The money will not be given to any Republican who are running against a sitting Democrat. Kent also said the money would go to Republicans “For now”.

Go look at Kent Williams legislative voting record. I have no problem with him. Mumpower shouldn’t have endorsed Jerome over Kent in the primary. Payback is a bitch.
