War of the Roses (and Greens)?
By Lee Nichols, 1:31PM, Tue. Nov. 7, 2006
The Quorum Report just posted a confirmed report that an "altercation" broke out in Hays County between state Rep. Patrick Rose, D-Dripping Springs, and his Republican predecessor in that seat, Rick Green. Go to QR and click on "Daily Buzz." They also mention an unconfirmed report that Green threw the first punch. Wow, it was great enough seeing Green, possibly the biggest asshole in the Legislature, get tossed out by voters in 2002 – if we could send him off to jail too … hey, a man can dream, can't he?
