Its one of governments more proud moments if you ask me...

MONTGOMERY -- State Sen. Charles Bishop hit Sen. Lowell Barron on the floor of the Senate this afternoon, saying Barron called him an s...o...b.


The Senate was in recess when Bishop, a Republican from Arley, and Barron, a Democrat from Fyffe, started an animated conversation. Bishop suddenly hit Barron in the face, and Barron fell back onto a desk.

Patrick Harris, assistant secretary of the Senate, said he saw Bishop hit Barron and quickly grabbed Bishop and pulled him back.

Bishop in an interview later said Barron called him a s...o...b, so he hit Barron in the face.

"If he calls me that again, it'll happen again," Bishop said.

Barron was not immediately available for comment.

Or he'll sucker punch you when you weren't expecting it, in a situation in which you can't retaliate, and then cry "he called me a bad name!" afterwards.

They luckily just happened to have people with cameras standing around... and caption artists from the old Batman series...
Barron is an asshat. Punching him for calling you a son of a bitch was immature, irrational, and irresponsible, but I'm pretty sure he deserved it.
