Media / Politics / Woods Everybody's Asking: Who's on the Troopergate List?
Posted by Jeff Woods on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 12:51 PM
It's the hot list! Everybody wants to be one of the 182 people whose backgrounds were checked by state highway patrol Lt. Ronnie Shirley.
Republicans hope they're on the list because that'll mean Democrats were behind the trooper's snooping. And vice versa. Bredesen's aides hope they're on it because it'll deflect blame from the administration. And journalists hope they're one of the lucky two reporters on the list because it'll mean somebody hates them enough to dig up dirt on them. Any reporter would wear it as a badge of honor. Proof of badassery.

St. Shirley allegedly had time to run many unauthorized background checks while full-time Dept. of Safety employees don't have time to run required background checks to renew handgun carry permits. They're three months behind.
They need to enlist Lt. Shirley's help.
