Shea Andersen: At the Roundhouse

Chagrined reporters, and the debate begins!

The dapper Matt Grubs from KOAT Channel 7 took umbrage at the previous post about tromping reporters. Grubs, it should be noted, never tromps. Mea culpa.

We've just begun the Senate debate over gay marriage, almost an hour after the Senate dithered over redneck jokes and basketball games. Why the dither? As happens some mornings, the Senate needed a quorum to begin -- 22 of 42 Senators need to be in the chamber -- and when Lt. Gov. Diane Denish gaveled them into order she faced a group of just nine Senators.

Never mind; Sen. Tim Jennings and Sen. Clint Harden were happy to swap redneck jokes...let's see if I remember this one right, from Harden:

What do a hurricane, a tornado, and a redneck divorce all have in common?

Somebody's going to lose a trailer.
