State Sen. Charles Bishop hit Sen. Lowell Barron on the floor of the Senate this afternoon.
The Senate was in recess when Bishop, a Republican from Arley, and Barron, a Democrat from Fyffe, started an animated conversation. Bishop suddenly hit Barron in the face, and Barron fell back onto a desk.
Patrick Harris, assistant secretary of the Senate, said he saw Bishop hit Barron and quickly grabbed Bishop and pulled him back.
Bishop in an interview later said Barron called him a s...o...b, so he hit Barron in the face.
"If he calls me that again, it'll happen again," Bishop said.
Barron was not immediately available for comment.

Like Toots said earlier tonight, it seems appropriate to bring up OMBs in every thread on this board...

The guy being hit looked as though he had been waiting for that, as he quickly rolled back with the fist slap. I don't think he was phased. I wonder if he will charge assalt and battery charges???

Well no wonder you're so tired. Hail, that is truly traumatic. Will you be able to sleep?:yikes: Shall I send you some herb potion?
Nite Nohall, and DD, I will pray for y'all to have sweet dreams.

Maybe the State Senate should have online discussions where they do nothing more physical than throwing one of :whack: or :banging: on occasion, with some of :bang: , :boxing:, :sleeping:, :yawn:, :popcorn:, and :twisted: worked in between.
No matter how much I might disagree with someone on here, I would never actually hit them in the face.

Think I'll watch my speed as I head south through Alabama on my way to SoWal. If this is the way they conduct business in the capital, would hate to think what the state troopers might do along I65. :banging:

Ok, I've heard of Fyffe but where is Arley?
This story doesn't suprise me. :floor:

As a fine citizen of the great state of Alabama, I cannot tell you how embarassing this is. For those who want a lesson on real Southern politics, I strongly recommend attending a legislative session in Montgomery.

Any truth to the rumor that there is going to be a good old fashioned duel at Toomer's Corner at sunset tonight?

Arley is in Winston County. Which is north of Jasper, which is in Walker County ,were I was born and lived until I was 17, left for college, and never returned.
It's pretty bad when you are from a rural county like I was and we made funn of Winston County all of the time. I guess we thought we were more cityfied since we were only about 30 minutes from Birmingham.

here is the latest from Al.com. In the video I don't see him fall back on the desk from the smackdown, looks like he was pushed.
It is sad, the headline reads "STATE SENATE SMACKDOWN!"
