A few random thoughts about that man named Tom Feeney.

He is not a favorite person of mine. Never was. He was the Tom DeLay of the Florida House...until he got a promotion to congress, bless his pointed head.

Religious right and 2000

SNIP..."While the nation waited for the Florida recounts, Christian conservative legislators in Florida (known in the Florida legislature as the "God Squad") decided to intervene in case, after the dust settled, Al Gore won the state's electoral votes. Florida House Speaker Tom Feeney led the Religious Right legislators in a scheme to declare George W. Bush the winner of the Florida electors no matter what the outcome of the recount. "The House is prepared to act," Feeney declared. His actions became redundant when the US Supreme Court's ruled that the recount was unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, evangelical Christian legislators in Congress held workshops on how to make the most of "the plum book," a compilation of more than 3,000 positions President Bush may fill by appointment...."

Here is that man apologizing on TV for calling Gore a loser.
