So much for open government

No time to comment much, but Matthew White over at South End Grouds has a post regarding retaliation by Speaker of the TN House, Jimmy Naifeh, against Rep. Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) for his blog. Apparently Naifeh has referred a bill sponsored by Campfield to committee for no reason other than because of things he wrote about in his blog.

As an added bonus, a college intern of Naifeh's has taken to talking about Campfield on her own blog. In her first two posts she takes on Campfield by saying he made the General Assembly look immature and childish while doing so in her own immature and childish way. (Although, I have to make the comment...the General Assembly really is childish and immature.)

Anyway...get over to South End Grouds and read it asap.
