For those of you that don't know him, Lowell Baron is a typical Southern Democrat wheeler-dealer, in Bill Clinton's mold. He's the kind of guy that will do anything to get and keep power. I can't say I'm shedding any tears because someone decked him.

Still, the AL populace will rally behind the Democrat who is seen as the victim.

"It's certainly a black eye on the Legislature and the Senate in particular," Republican Rep. Jay Love said.

ROFLOL ... looks like Rep. Love has a good sense of humor!

I saw that on the news, ..funny.

This is unacceptable behavior. I hope the Alabama Senate gives him the boot and that he faces an assault charge as well.

‘bout damn time!! I’d like to see a good ole’ B-western bar room brawl on C-Span.

Members of the Alabama House said the incident makes the entire Legislature look bad.

Haven't yet seen a legislature whose work product doesn't makes them look bad.

How about a little personal responsibility for the laws they pass...? Hmmm....?

Nice right cross!

Charles Bishop BUMP!

[txroadkill]

Your Honor...as you can clearly see on the video tape, I was minding my own business when all of a sudden, he assaulted me by striking my fist with his face. I demand justice.

[AmericanMade1776]

Republican wins.

[The KG9 Kid]

I don't know what occurred beforehand but if the Democrat really did lip off to someone's face, he should have expected to get punched.

It's my opinion that there are certain things that a person can do or say to warrant receiving a punch in the face. I live by that standard, so why can't the rest of the world?

[samm1148]

Can we run this guy for president?

[Michael.SF.]

Who do these guys think they are, Taiwan?

[lowbridge]

The Senator has good form.

[WorkingClassFilth]

a Republican lawmaker punched a Democratic colleague in the head before they were pulled apart. Republican Sen. Charles Bishop claimed that Democratic Sen. Lowell Barron called him a "son of a (expletive). I responded to his comment with my right hand," Bishop said.

This man should be running for the Republican nomination. At least he has stones...

Fistfights are an improvement over duels, I suppose.

[Daffynition]

‘Bama celebrates Boxing Day? ... I didn’t even know you had a state senate.
