Ray Blanton was cool.

turns out him and Butcher weren't really that different!

Ray Blanton was cool.

I'm a free market enthusiast, but I draw the line somewhere shy of governors who sell pardons during their lame duck periods.

Not to parse words really, but selling them any other time is cool?

I still remember Bill Brock and Ray Blanton!

Thanks a lot!

Now I can't get that "We need a Ray of Blanton sunshine" jingle out of my head :BANGHEAD2:

I have a copy of Hank Hillin's book "Tennpar". It lays out the whole pardon selling scheme in detail if anyone's interested.

Any loss by Lamar Alexander is a good one. The man has hit the trifecta. Worst governor, worst university president, and worst senator. Very impressive.

He might have some competition as worst university president. I think I heard Gilley speak at a commencement, I remembered thinking, how can someone that speaks that poorly have risen to such a high level in life.

Gilley wasn't responsible for the hiring of Wade Houston. Alexander was. End of debate.
