MN House Speaker Seifert is a Governator-in-training!
On prison budget cuts: "We have to make sure the rapists and murderers sacrifice like everyone else." On double-bunking prison cells: "two hots and a swell new roommate with a whole bunch of tattoos." If inmates don't like Seifert's proposal to cut meal plans, they can go "eat a tablespoon of lard." (this article is awesome because "Seifert acknowledged Friday he had received letters from inmates, including one that reportedly made a reference to the inmate and legislator sharing a 'can of Crisco' when the offender got out of prison," but Seifert stood his ground and his prisoner-depriving bill)
Lecturing Democrats on GOP control: "You were voted off the island last year. The tribe has spoken. We will balance the budget without raising taxes."
More on cutting back prisoners' meals: If it's OK for college kids, I don't know why it's not OK for cop killers, murderers and rapists to go with two fewer meals on weekends,’ he said.”
"You guys are all corrupt." Responding to other MN legislators
On reversing a MN ban disallowing first cousins to marry: "the legislation could clash with Gov. Tim Pawlenty's promise not to turn us into another Arkansas." (for the record, first cousins can't marry in Arkansas either)
This guy is seriously great, he cracks me up, he represents my hometown. Being in the bleeding blue liberal Minnesota, he gets a LOT of outraged liberals writing into the Star Trib crying foul, but I love this guy! We need more people like Rep. Marty Seifert and Gov. Ahnold in the capitols.
I'm from Ohio and have lived in Ohio all my life but I am really starting to like your state of Minnesocold. You've got a heck of a governor and a solid Senator and this guy who's a laugh riot.
...and mosquitos the size of bald eagles!
And a pro-wrestler for a former governor who united* the Republicans and Democrats
*united them in taking that blowhard down.
Dayton is a socialist socialite. So tell me about Mark Kennedy. Is he solid? Because I hear he'll be the next Senator in your soon to be red state.
I used to know a lot of people in your hometown years ago, when I was in college in Brookings. It struck me as a dem town, but this guy seems pretty cool.
Like me, heh heh.
Sodak: hopefully Senators John Thune and Norm Coleman are only just the beginning... Iowa's seen the light too. Sorry we're kinda lagging behind you guys, but the Twin Cities has a huge MoveOn.org HQ.
And yes, our town IS pretty blue, but they're Zell Democrats, not the lunatic kind with tinfoil hats (translation: they're GOP'ers but are suspicious of capitalism).
