Political Parlor’s
Twelve Christmas Wishes in Alabama Politics
12. ACCR and many newspapers – among others – want to see last rites administered to our state’s 1901 Constitution.
11. Jefferson County Commissioners Bobby Humphries and Jim Carns hope that Santa Claus, or ummm… Santa Bettye, could find them just one good committee.
10. Jim Folsom would be happy for Artur Davis to receive an appointment in Obama’s administration. (While we’re touching on the subject of potential new governors, you know who really needs a new governor this Christmas? Lowell Barron’s car.)
9. While many are feasting on federal handouts this Christmas, all-but-bankrupt Jefferson County would savor even crumbs.
8. Don Siegelman? A presidential pardon. And the vanquishing of his political opponents.
7. Randy Hinshaw would like an extra voting machine on the state House floor.
6. Charles Barkley wants the pesky seven year residency requirement for gubernatorial candidates removed in time for the 2010 election.
5. Larry Langford simply wants his debts retired scrutiny-free.
4. Alabama State University wants velcro letters on its buildings so they may be easily renamed.
3. Harri Anne Smith would like a copy of “Twinkle Cavanaugh’s Guide to Political Falls and Soft Landings.”
2. Parker Griffith wants a document shredder for Huntsville Hospital.
1. Rep. Spencer Collier? A merry Christmas and a happy new ear.
Here’s hoping that you were able to make a holiday wish come true for someone close to you, and that maybe you realized one of your own.
Wishing you all the best this season.
