A freshman Tennessee lawmaker who admits carving her initials into her desk in the state House chamber is going to have to pay to fix it.
…
The desk carving was first reported by WSMV-TV. Hurley on Monday confirmed to the Knoxville News Sentinel that she made the etching into the desk during a late-night floor session in May.

“It was like 1 in the morning on the last day of the session,” Hurley told the paper. “I wasn’t thinking straight.”

Hurley, 29, of Lenoir City, said she doesn’t remember what she used to cut her initials into the desk.

“To ask me details about what happened three months ago, I couldn’t tell you,” Hurley said. “I don’t understand why it’s news, and I don’t want to talk about the desk.”

I’ve heard folks saying that the Republicans are behaving like six-year-olds. Until now I thought they were exaggerating.

Also of note: she credits her political success to working at Hooters and she harassed a police officer who pulled her over for speeding. I think Sarah Palin has just found her running mate.

Well at least she acknowledges her mistakes. My question is: how long will the Republican party allow someone who does that to remain a member?

In some legislatures initial carving into the desk is something of a tradition.

Awww. From the thread title I was hoping for something a little more dramatic, like “crazed Republican carves desk into dozens of tiny wooden elephants while mumbling ‘redrum, redrum’ over and over.”

The vice president’s desk is covered with the initials of the veeps who used it. Decades worth of veeps have signed it.

This is, in fact, the only official function of the Vice President.

So, a member of the Tenn House of Reps carves her name in a desk. But since she’s a member of the GOP the headline becomes Republican Carves Her Name in Desk.

yeesh… the liberal media never misses a chance :rolleyes:

[Snowboarder_Bo]

Heck, you’re not even the media and you didn’t miss a chance to come in here and slam a group you oppose.

[Double_Foolscap]

Don’t worry, I’m fairly sure Faux News will put a little (D) next to her name.

I was hoping that the carving was going to be “Zeppelin Rules!”

And then there is the little matter of the actual headline reading “Tenn. lawmaker carved initials in her capitol desk”.

Obviously, it’s quite impossible to learn anything useful working at Hooters. :rolleyes:

She’s pretty attractive so I think we should let it slide.

why is this news

“To ask me details about what happened three months ago, I couldn’t tell you,” Hurley said.

End of session was end of May. She was asked about this at the beginning of July.

You know, I guess, under certain conditions of rounding, you could get that up to three months.

In the same way Jesus was dead 3 days.

Big yawn, I’m afraid.

[Rushgeekgirl]

I am far more concerned with this guy, linked in the article:

I figure there’s a notebook where she’s been writing “Mrs. Julia Limbaugh” over and over.
