'The speaker tried to pull one of his patented maneuvers ...': Brighton Reader on yesterday's proceedings, not today's (haven't caught up yet):
"After watching the Constitutional Convention for a good three hours, I think the biggest loser is Tom Finneran. The speaker tried to pull one of his patented maneuvers, but lacking control of the chair and unable to coerce state senators, he failed. It was fun to watch reps hammer him, finally free to say what they really thought. El Caudillo also caught it from Republicans, especially from the Senate, who were seriously pissed at his manipulations. All this played out before a statewide audience that generally ignores how Finneran operates."
Update -- San Francisco is trying to jump into the act. The newest twist in the old Silicon Valley-128 rivalry.
Update II -- 02.13.04 - 'Finneran at his worst.'
