Ready, set, brawl... in the state senate

A fight broke out yesterday in the Alabama state senate.  I love the headline:
State Senate Smackdown

It sounds like a high school fight. 

Bishop, 69, said he hit Barron, 65, because Barron called him a "son of a ..."

"If he calls me that again, it'll happen again," Bishop said later.

Barron denied calling Bishop that name. "I didn't call him anything."

"But I can tell you, when I come back, and you call me a son of a ..., then yes, I might whup you again. I'm not going to lie to you. And I would hope that you would, if you've got any gumption or you have any respect for your mother.

Note to all other Alabama state senators: don't launch any "yo momma" jokes around this guy, you might just end up getting hit.

Scott Adams would be happy.
