montgomeryadvertiser.com :: One senator punches another on final day of session
Charles Bishop says that Lowell Barron called him a son of a bitch, which means that it was okay for him to punch Barron.
But Bishop disagreed, saying he had heard the statement and responded accordingly.
“I responded with my right hand,” he said. “I hit him wherever I could get my right hand on him.”
He apologized for it happening on the floor of the Senate, but did not apologize for the action he took in response to the remarks.
“If he calls me that again, it will happen again,” he said.
Fun times in the legislature.

Some politicians claim to fight for their constituents but here’s one fella who really does. Vote for Fightin’ Charles Bishop! He’ll knock the Democrats out!
