Politics Haslam Vows to Shed Doofus Image
Posted by Jeff Woods on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 9:26 AM
Already lately like a toddler taking his first wobbly steps, he's started gently disagreeing with Ron Ramsey and the Republicans in the legislature. He's expressed concerns about the GOP's election-year hopes of chopping taxes on inheritances and investment income. He's said he's not sure it's a good idea for the legislature to enact a law to boot Occupy Nashville off the plaza, and he's come out against barring cities and counties from passing living-wage ordinances.
In an interview with the AP, Haslam admitted that this year he was a little behind the curve and didn't really know what was happening at times. (That's a shocker.) But rest assured he's up to speed now and striding fearlessly into his second year in office.
“I think what you’ll see is we’ve had the chance to do our homework better. And … because of that, and because you’ve been around the track one time, I think it’s a little bit easier to be engaged in more things than we were last year.”
In other news, Haslam told the AP he has no worries that his bungled Occupy Nashville crackdown might have tarnished his first year in office. "Not one bit," he said. His reasoning? Around the country, mayors and police trying to end occupations screwed up worse than he did.

You had better watch out "Billy" or Ron the "goggle eyed bovine-boy" Ramsey (who GOD talks directly to, like Rick Perry) will kick you in the "arse" with one of "them there" fancy expensive "COW"-boy boots!

In essence, he had a year of on the job training and had enough frak-ups that he would have been fired had he not been one of the privileged 1% (and elected)
LOL, Emmett Flatus! In a matchup between a doofus Rino like Haslem and a doofus libtard, like Jeff Woods, I'll probably have to go with the Rino! I'd support a rabid wolverine over a libtard though, so that's not saying much!
Governor Bill Haslam should stop waffling with the TNGA extremists within his own party on these matters and start using the "veto" word...some the more extreme members of the Tennessee General Assembly are already touting out their plans for a shortened legislative session so that they can hit the campaign trail early in the year.
