ChangeI wish my friend Hinton Mitchem godspeed and good luck after his retirement from public service. Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election. I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...] Ten Minutes in the House, Senate Moves On Here is a quick preview of the upcoming week in Montgomery.

No surprise there. Just wait until it comes out certain bloggers and the Montgomery Indepedent take money from Milton McGregor, Stan Pate and Tommy Gallion.
You mean like George Dubya Bush had journalist like Armstrong Williams, Bob Knovack and others on his payroll? Langford learned from the best…
Homeboy, the entire democrat party has had CNN,MSNBC,ABC,CBS,PBS and NBC on their payroll for decades now.
Homey — i notice you didn’t dispute anything I said. You just went off on Bush. how telling.
dan t, if the entire Democratic party had CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS and NBC on our payroll for decades our country wouldn’t be in this mess.
Anonymous, I can’t dispute anything you said, I was just pointing out the similarities.

Yes, it is wrong for both. No one is saying it isn’t, homeboy. Why did you even bring up Bush when no one was saying it’s right for either side?
Just liberal reflex?
i hope any defender of these idiots like frank matthews just heard him on the matt murphy show, wow what a moron.
Anonymouse #7,
I bought up BuSh because this situation reminded me of when it came to light he was paying Talk Show Host and other right wing Journalist to promote his agenda. I also bring it up because I don’t remember your “side” being outraged about it.
Hey, anonymous in comment #2, where do I sign up to get paid? LOL…
And, seriously, pass along your evidence for those claims because that would be a good story. You can reach me via the contact form in the sidebar.
Matt Murphy still has a radio show? I thought he was fired months ago.
Bush had media on the payroll too.

So it’s OK? I don’t see where you’re going with this homey
It’s the HYPROCRISY Anonymous#12, there is more than a whiff of HYPROCRISY in the outrage, that’s where I’m going.
