Perhaps PAW CLAWS should deliver his own late-night signals so that his spokespeople or letters-people or media-people don’t convey the wrong kind of signals or hints.

PAW CLAWS was out to claw the HOT HALF-DOZEN over the GAS TAX, and now it looks as though he is out to rip-off the RED WING of a Transportation EAGLE as it nests along the Mississippi River.

You don’t understand Master of None. Democrats tell lies about people. And when those people show that the Democrat lied, then the victim is immediately made to be the “bad guy.”

Murphy lied about Pawlenty and McClung. Whey they pointed out that lie, Murphy challenged McClung to a fight. Now McClung is the bad guy.

It’s kinda like when Joe Wilson told that fat fucking lie that Dick Cheney sent him to Nigeria, when in reality, his CIA desk-jockey wife pulled strings to send him. And then when Wilson came home and confirmed the worst suspicions about Iraq’s intention to purchase uranium from Nigeria… and then Wilson told that fat fucking lie that his findings negated those suspicions.

Eventually the truth came out, that his wife sent him, and that he discovered confirming evidence of Iraq’s pursuit of uranium… next thing you know, Wilson’s sign a multi-million dollar book deal and everyone who called them out for their shit was a bad guy.

WMD- In what way is McClung’s response childish?

Did he call Murphy a “weinie”?

Well Pigman, because McClung is a weinie. He’s the guy in high school who would smart off to the Lineman and then run away when the guy actually called him out.

Does anyone else think this whole thing is ridiculous? Murphy’s behavior is childish and so is Mcclung’s response. It’s like preschool playground behavior all over again. Maybe we need to clean house and send some adults over to St. Paul to accomplish something – on both sides.

Why doesn’t McClung just take the challange and beat his ass(that is if he can). Better than this back and forth in the newspaper and letters to the leadership.

…or maybe people at the capitol are finally getting sick of Murphy’s childish tantrums.

This could also be a diversionary tactic in that there is a [printer] three pager, in the StarTribune tonight, “State GOP has its own bookkeping woes.”

As for Murphy being a tyrant and a goon, I totally agree. The words I will use are “power hungry, arrogant ass hole”.

And I’m one of the few here that is guaranteed to vote against him – regardless of whichever Republican will be running against him. He’s been too busy being a partisan jerk aspiring to power than actually accomplishing something positive for all of his constituents.

Good move by Senjem

In his role as GOP leader in the state Senate, Senjem has did more to help the Republican cause in this one day than Dick (before he xxxxs you) Day did in his entire tenure in that same job.

Murphy is one of the biggest laughtingstocks at the capitol these days. Even the DFL is getting disgusted with him.

I’d also like to know if Murphy is the one who called the governor’s office an hour after the bridge fell down threatening political retribution. Perhaps there could be a FOIA request for the office phone records.

Murphy is a tyrant! He is drunk with power and deserves everything coming to him. He had made it his own practice to openly threaten anyone in his way. He is a GOON!

Murphy is a disgrace to the Senate. All senators should be asking him to SHUT HIS YAP for once. Senjem just did it diplomatically.

So, Murph calls out McClung on his comments to the press, and Senjem takes offense? It’s official, everyone, the GOP has become wuffified!

Lighten up, Senjem.

It seems to me that there is a Chaplain of the Day in the Senate and/or the House of Representatives.

There are also a number of books available to read such as the Five Languages of Love by Dr. Gary Chapman, and/or the Five Languages of Apology by Dr. Gary Chapman.

There are other such books on communication skills.

The Governor, Brian McClung, David Senjem, Larry Pogemiller, Steve Murphy, and now bloggers are going to up the ante, escalate, up the ante, escalate, and perhaps eventually cross-swords?

Perhaps what Dean Barkley was saying when he was driving his bus on WCCO TV Broadcast News last night was truer than some might tend to think!

Attorney Mike Ciresi fought Big Tobacco and won. As a direct result of what he did about $200 million dollars a year comes into the coffers of State of Minnesota and it seems to me that the legislators are in a snit about what?

Is it true Murphy chased McClun’s car last night screaming at him?

This is a canned letter from the Governor’s office, I am sure Senator Senjem could care less about what Senator Murphy says.

If the Governor wants to get in a pissing match over things, what about his “Cheap shots are cheap, but they are not free” comment?
