Making Cocke Co. look good
By: R. Neal

Man, the crap is flying faster than feathers at a Newport cockfight. I hope the late Friday bad news cycle is over and things will settle down*.

We've got backroom deals, strong-arm tactics, nepotism, double-reverse patronage, sex, drugs -- the only thing missing is... cockfighting!

OK, then.

(*Oops. Guess not. Just saw Mark Harmon's post at the same time as this one. Looks like there will be more drama this weekend.)

Do they have cockfighting in Newport? I'm thinking more like Del Rio.

They paid their hush money. Del Rio made a late payment.

If Ben Garant and Johnny Knoxville can't come up with an Oscar caliber comedy movie from all this county commission wrangling and fiasco, then they should have to forfeit their complimentary seats at the UT home football games...

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...

I'm still wondering if Commission will show up on Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World list?

They sure belong there.
