Legislature / Politics / Woods Ramsey Decides Kent Williams Isn't Such a Bad Guy After All

"I know I'm going to have some challenges. I've had a couple of problems with my own party, but we're getting those ironed out. We just have a small minority, I think, here in Carter County that would rather see someone out of Nashville tell us what to do in Carter County than to have our own down there. But like I said, that's a small minority, and I think in 2010 in November we'll show what a small minority that is."
Look at Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey cozying up to Williams in that picture. They look like best buddies, don't they? But what about all that lying Williams did? Pith thought he was the devil. Guess Ramsey has concluded he might need a few Carter County votes in next year's gubernatorial primary.
"The speaker of the House and the speaker of the Senate have to work together -- period," Ramsey said.
House GOP leader Jason Mumpower was scheduled to attend the event but didn't show up, the Kingsport Times News' Hank Hayes reports. We're guessing his ass is still chapped.

This article forgot to mention the BEST PART of that Breakfast. Williams got a STANDING OVATION that morning. This was done to send a message to certain people in that room and in power with the Republican Party. Ron Ramsey and Rusty Crowe certainly knew what that ovation meant. You shoulda seen them. Priceless. Carter County will re-elect Williams. Ramsey and Crowe will have to pay the Piper for the things they have said and done to Williams over the past two terms. The untrue and unfair things the whole county knows they were responsible for. We really didn't like the remarks Ramsey made about Williams needing to quit and that he thought two speakers were running the House instead of just Williams. We watch him say things like that and then, when he's with Williams, we see how he buddies up to him so he can ride Williams' coattails. Guess he shoulda thought of that.
