Speaker's Funny Business
Email this story to a friend
DURING this year’s session of the Georgia General Assembly, state lawmakers were treated to almost $1 million in freebies — from expensive meals to sports, concert and theater tickets to boxes of chocolate to alcohol in hospitality suites — by lobbyists for a host of interests, including utility companies, a hospital, an insurance companies and trade associations.
Not only does Speaker Richardson look like an alcoholic, he talks like one, too.
Not that he slurs his words, just that he defends drinking as being a part of doing business.
"Having wine and dinner is what business is made of,” said the unfaithful husband and Speaker of the Georgia House.
In 2010, I expect Richardson’s favorite whine will be, “I used to be Speaker of the House.
For now, let him eat cake, wash it down with a good French wine, and do his business on the taxpayers back. We can’t stop him, can we?
