“Comp-trolling.” n. 1. Slow-playing a special election bill and even acting like you were against it, before you were for it, to remind the outgoing and incoming Governors who is Boss.

This post is just outrageously sexist for berating a man for being powerful and well-dressed! I’m outraged! Do you know that he was just leaving a “productive” bipartisan meeting with the Governor-elect when this photo was taken? Context, please!!!!!!
The Speaker is disinterested when Tim Mapes tells him that he’s banned Rich Miller from eating anywhere within 3 blocks of the Capitol in retaliation for some snark in a Capitol Fax Question of the Day.
I knew that whole “Let the Executive Branch work it out” thing had about the same chance as a canary in the Big Branch Coal Mine. Now, Me and Cully gonna do some bidness. Ya feel me?
