Furious after the Senate panel tabled his bill Wednesday, Lange stormed into Democratic leadership offices in both houses and threatened retaliatory action against Democratic bills in the House unless his bill is resurrected.
Senate President Pro Tempore Dan Harrington, D-Butte, said Lange came into his office Wednesday and said, "It's war. The bloodletting has started." Witnesses said he formed each hand into a pistol and pretended as if he were firing shots.
Lange said permanent property tax relief is the key issue for Republican legislators, something they promised voters they would provide. He vowed Republicans will do whatever they need to do to make sure it passes, even if it means the House tabling every Democratic bill.
I would post his photo, but it kind of makes me puke in my mouth a little bit.
Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, please let this legislature end soon.
On a finer note, Rep. Michelle Reinhart's biodiesel bill (HB822) was blasted out of Senate Taxation committee on Saturday and has it's second reading today. Fuck yeah. The weird part is that Sen. Jake Bruggeman is carrying it for her in the Senate. What is up with that?
My theories: 1. He was always a moderate that just didn't know how to voice his opinion against his caucus last session; or
2. He is planning to run for SOMETHING BIG someday and want's to appeal to Jon Tester's peeps.
Hmmmm.

I heart finger guns. Nothing says "respect my authority" like finger guns. Priceless, utterly priceless.
