Regardless of whether or not Senator Bishop should be called before the Senate Ethics and Conduct Committee, the fact that Roger Bedford is in any place to comment on an indivdual’s ethics is patently absurd.
Ironically, several people had jokingly suggested that the best way to deal with the stalemate in the senate by the two warring factions was for each faction to choose one person and let those two duke it out in a fist fight. So maybe they did. I can certainly see why the minority picked Bishop, but I would think the majority could come up with someone better than Barron. Ha!
