I would like to know more about this little nugget from Tom Fahey’s State House Dome column in this morning’s Union Leader:
[Democrat Party Chairman Ray] Buckley had made the only outburst during Thursday’s Senate debate. As Sen. Martha Fuller Clark finished her speech, he loudly told two men behind him to keep their comments to themselves. He said the two had engaged in a running critique of Clark’s remarks. Troopers quickly quieted things down and the Senate voted 14-10 to pass the bill.
I wish Doug Lambert had been there with his video camera. It is certainly possible that the two men seated behind Chairman Buckley were being unruly and obnoxious. But knowing Chairman Buckley as I do, I think it is far more likely that they were expressing legitimate disagreement with Sen. Fuller Clark’s statement in hushed tones and Chairman Buckley popped. The fact that troopers needed to quiet things down only after Chairman Buckley entered the “discussion” lends credence to my bias.
Chairman Buckley’s outburst is darkly reminiscent of Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter’s behavior last February in which she is alleged to have called and berated two women who have family members serving in Iraq.
Has New Hampshire elected a bunch of liberal bullies to run the state? Sheesh. If Chairman Buckley or Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter ever accept our numerous invitations to appear on "Meet the New Press," they should know that we only engage in polite reasoned dialogue and bullying behavior is not acceptable on the program.
