Famous For Nothing

Shame on Pat Murphy(Dummycrat/Dubuque) for not speaking out about the rowdiness of the peanut gallery, in the Iowa House balconies, during last week's collective bargaining vote.

Murphy was as silent as the House switchboard on a Friday, and the scientific community is united in that fact, when his political allies screamed “shame” and erupted in applause and cheers.

It was nearly two years ago when the then Speaker had troopers escort citizens out of the House galleries for what he described as a lack of decorum.

At the time Murphy said, “This is not an athletic event where you cheer for the home team and you jeer and boo against people you don’t agree with.”

Unlike the collective bargaining bill, the elimination of federal tax deductibility actually had a chance of passage by the Legislature.

Maybe this St. Patty's week, Murphy can douse his Irish temper.
