Congress has seen plenty of firebrands and confrontational lawmakers — especially from Florida. But Washington still might be in for a shock when it comes to Randy Fine.
Over his nine years in the Florida Legislature, he gained a reputation for his bare-knuckle style of politics and spats with local officials. Now the former gambling executive will be going national with last week’s special election win in a deep-red district on Florida’s northeast coast.

Reminds me of a scene from Road House.
STEVE: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
DALTON: Is she?
You nailed it.
And you trust the current crop in DC.
You had me at Hello.
Yeah, at first I was surprised that Politico was saying all these good things about him. Then I realized they probably thought it sounded bad.
