You may remember when Dwight Van de Vate, the Senior Communications Director for Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, spoke on behalf of the Knox County Mayor saying that the entire Tyler Harber series chronicled in the Halls Shopper News was just tabloid reporting and that concerning the potential for an investigation of the Mayor and his relationship with Tyler Harber that County Mayor Ragsdale said, "Bring it on".
Here is a clip from the "Ragsdale Players", a local theater troupe in Knoxville, showing what the Mayor meant when he said "Bring it on".
Read more (and see video!) after the jump...
The three voices you hear are County Commissioners Mike "Yes Master" Hammond, who presents the Resolution to remove Greg Lambert's Resolution for the investigation of Mayor Ragsdale from the agenda, the second is from Craig "The Comedian" Leuthold, and the call for the question which prevents any debate is from Phil "We don't need no stinking debate" Guthe.
See if you can figure out who is Moe, Larry, and Curly.
On the fourth Monday of every month the "Ragsdale Players" can be seen on Knox Community Television at 2:00 PM. Channel 12 on Comcast Cable and Channel 6 on Charter Cable.
Turn in every month for the best in comedy and drama.
