I try not too get to political, but since this blog is about the sights and sounds of my life, imagine my disgust after seeing the stunt that Matt Bartle pulled, this guy is a joke. I am ashamed that he represents my district. He is about as stupid as George W.(sorry Laz). Here are some of the details.
Senate filubuster features food, fitness, stem cells
State Sen. Matt Bartle's filibuster against the appointment of Kansas City exeuctive Warren Erdman's to the University of Missouri governing board has taken some tedious turns today.
Bartle, a Lee's Summit Republican, has weaved among weight lifting and fitness, favorite restaurants in Columbia and Jefferson City, Big 12 football and major league baseball. At one point, Bartle referred to Joe Torre as the Cardinals first baseman.
Sen. Chris Koster, a Harrisonville Republican whose father was a St. Louis sportswriter, quickly returned to the floor to challenge that assertion. He pointed out that Torre was a long-time third baseman for the Cardinals. But Sen. Tim Green, a St. Louis County Demcrat, handed Bartle a note saying that Torre, indeed, played first base his final year.
Most recently, he was discussing the need to eat and drink regularly. He noted that his body was realizing that he had not had anything to drink anything for some time and was making adjustments. He has not risked drinking because it might cause him to need to leave the floor to urinate. If he gave up the floor, other senators could call for a vote on the appointment of Erdman and others now pending.
In an attempt to hasten such an event, other senators have sent a half dozen cupst of coffee and water, which are now stacked up untouched on Bartle's desk.
