here is a link from a tenn paper...
http://timesfreepress.com/news/2009/jan/13/williams-elected-speaker-upset-mumpower-loses/?breakingnewsSpeaker Williams said he heard expletives being used by fellow Republicans. He said he still considers himself a Republican and emphasized that he would be fair to Republicans and Democrats. He predicted that history will show that this will be a “great thing” for the state.
When state Rep. Gerald McCormick, R-Chattanooga, approached the new Speaker, Rep. Williams warned him that if he used “the f-word,” he would be thrown out.
Rep. McCormick responded by telling the new Speaker that he is a “disgrace to the state. You are a disgrace to the state.”
ahhh cant we all just get along.
