Legislature / Woods No Barnyard Humor, Please
Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 12:01 PM
"Look, you know, over my last six years, I've had a package [of bills] every year, a fairly extensive one I think most years, and I feel strongly about those things and understand the details of what's behind them and certainly go out and advocate actively for those things. There's a lot of other stuff the legislature does where I don't feel like I understand all the subtleties of what's in the bill. I don't think it's appropriate or anything to just try to take a position on every bill that comes before the legislature."

Since when can a governor credibly maintain that he doesn't have to concern himself with
"...other stuff the legislature does where I don't feel like I understand all the subtleties of what's in the bill. I don't think it's appropriate or anything to just try to take a position on every bill that comes before the legislature."
It's his JOB to know what public policy these idiots are enacting, and to keep the state from going off a cliff. Sounds like he's lost interest.

Bredesen stays focused on the business of state government - balancing the budget, funding education, etc. Moreover, he stays out of the silliness on which the General Assembly spends so much time. He has won election twice, the second time by winning all 95 counties. Tennesseans consistently give him high approval ratings.
The members of the legislature sling mud at each other, whine, cry, propose the sillest legislation, and then they fight over that legislation to no end. Tennesseans consistently give them crappy approval ratings.
You tell me who's smarter.
