According to a press release Wednesday morning, AZ House Speaker Kirk Adams, has reversed his decision to remove LD-6 Representative Sam Crump as Chairman of the House Government Committee. This comes after several days of negotiations and stand-offs. Adams and others have obviously schooled Crump a little. Crump said this in the press release, "I certainly have a better understanding of the significance the speaker places on the role of committee chairmen."
**** News of the Day **** Representative Sam Crump makes it official: He has been stripped of his Government Committee Chairmanship by House Speaker, Kirk Adams. Further sanctions have not been ruled out by Adams.Has Arizona LD-6 Republican Representative Sam Crump been drinking the Kool-Aid? He seems to be drinking something.
It's hard to imagine Sam Crump playing the lead role of the "Pied Piper" aka "Hey KOOL-AID!" to a pack of arrogant, newbie, and clandestine Constitutionalist Party (R)eps during the first few weeks of the 49th Session of the Arizona Legislature. For a guy who publicly aspires to be on the fast-track to Washington D.C. - he should've known better - or at least picked a different breed of young bucks to "mentor".
It's even harder to imagine several of the boys (I won't call them rats) blindly following Crump's lead. Instead of being lead by Crump into the river to drown, the newbies were, instead, forced into Governor Jan Brewer's office for an official "discussion" late last week. Even after that, they jumped off the cliff together (ignoring the Party's arm twisting) and voted against fully funding the biotech/science 21st Century Fund. Ouch!
Wikipedia - darn that website - lists this politically hilarious and ironic anecdote about the Pied Piper:
***Has anyone else noticed that over the last year or so, Sam Crump has taken on a very punkish, LOUD and ANGRY tone with a whole bunch of people? Get control of the temper Sam. You're often on video camera, in meetings and well... people talk! Geez. I'm embarrassed for you. LD-6 should be embarrassed of you.In 1284, while the town of Hamelin was suffering from a rat infestation, a man dressed in pied[1] garments appeared, claiming to be a rat-catcher. He promised the townsmen a solution for their problem with the rats. The townsmen in turn promised to pay him for the removal of the rats. The man accepted, and thus played a musical pipe to lure the rats with a song into the Weser River, where all of them drowned. Despite his success, the people reneged on their promise and refused to pay the rat-catcher. The man left the town angrily, but returned some time later, seeking revenge.
