At least they didn't get their trips paid for by lobbyists ala "The Hammer" Delay! If you ask me, most of those guys could use a few lessons on how to be better legislators!
I like how they mentioned that Bosma stayed home...probably because there were no interns to hit on in Seattle!
I saw Bosma in the city market the other day. I almost had a spontaneous reaction to him, but then I realized it's probably not a good idea to spit in his face.
