Chair throwing politics in Florida
August 8, 2006

They take their politics seriously in Florida – if not feloniously. As the words got heated on a talk show, one candidate obviously felt at a loss for words and demonstrated his disdain for his opponent – by throwing a chair at him.

I have found two versions of the video. One is on the You Tube web site. Unfortunately, not only was the action captured on the You Tube version, but also the words. Words which we were raised not to use in polite company.

Another version is found on, what I have surmised to be, Tampa Florida’s Channel 10. It does not have the naughty words and has much of the context as to what lead up to the chair throwing. (The Tampa channel 10 version also includes a lead-in commercial…)

You Tube’s narrative explains, “Political Candidate Joe Redner (Tampa) was debating on a local show when his opponent got so pissed he hit Redner with a chair. Politics in Florida! Redner also happens to own the most famous adult club in the Southeast, the Mons Venus.”

It gives even more absurd – go here: “Joe Redner wants to settle the score.”

Hat Tip: Hot Air.
