Posted by I’ve been wanting to write about Sen. Phil (for Philibuster) Poole, D – Moundville, aka The One Man Shenanigan, for a couple of weeks now, but Bob Gambacurta in the Montgomery Independent will now catch you up pretty fast.
My mother would use the word “unseemly” to describe Poole’s over-the-top conduct on the Senate floor.

Even a loose cannon can be skillfully used. The question is who is using whom.
This is a cannon that does understand the principle of your word is your name. He has no honor. None..
He reminds of a statement my granddaddy used,
“there always more horses rears (he used another word) than there are horses. It seems as though there are quite a few of those horseless rears in the Alabama Senate.

Thing to remember in practical politics, is that today’s horse’s posterior is tommorrow’s vote on your favorite cause.
Yea right, If you can depend on his word to vote with you. I am sure I would take that one to the bank. They convicted Guv Don on selling his office. What in the H do you think Poole did?? The reason he is mad is because the Guv stripped one million dollars of road money out the budget, (which is unheard of being in the regular budget in the first place),(that’s why they have a Tranportation Dept. budget)
bill as a payoff for his selling out in the Senate.
I have heard from many sources that the current Highway Director does not play political games, so the only way Poole could get his money was to stick it in the regular budget. Ask Windom what Poole got for selling him out. If I were a senator and thank God I’m not, I think I would rather just have Sen. Poole not vote on my bills. I wouldn’t want the taint.
Cam Ward, huh?
