Crazy Crap / Woods Defending Bill Hobbs

Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 3:20 PM

Never thought this would happen, but we must defend Bill Hobbs in his attempt to obtain a video of dynamiting at the governor's mansion. The Bredesen administration, gleefully ignoring state law, is giving Hobbs the runaround. In the story's latest chapter, officials are demanding $200 to copy the video for Hobbs. As you may recall, we posted the video not long ago, and the administration didn't charge us a dime for our copy. It's public record, which means even Hobbs, the state GOP flack, is entitled to it.

Before I wrote about this on NIT, I turned to our Capitol Hill reporter Chris Bundgaard and chatted a little about this. At the end of my tirade he held up a copy of said video on a crappy yellow tape and said, "Hell, I'll sell it to him for $40. I didn't pay a dime for it."

I agree that Bill should be given a digital copy (actually, I think all this stuff should be publicly available online...the very fact that he has to walk his ass down there is wrong), but damn, I just wish it was for a public document that wasn't so dreadfully boring to watch.

Ohmigod! What a damning indictment of waste and inefficiency in government! This video is riveting and the $200 Mr. Hobbs is being asked to shell out will be returned many times over as a flood of contributions comes into the Tennessee GOP.
Have any of Nashville's intrepid journalists checked with the neighbors about the welfare of their traumatized children??
The carnage! The horror! THE DUST!!
