Holy Crap! Look on the frontpage of the Austin Statesman!
Rick Green, a former Republican State Rep, obviously held a grudge against the guy who beat him, Democrat Patrick Rose.
Green went to the poll Rose was campaigning at and punched Rose!
Jackie Whalen, a witness to the incident, said she was standing in line to vote when she saw Rose and Green standing and talking between two vehicles. She said she saw Green push Rose against a sport-utility vehicle and then punch Rose in the face.
Rose was unhurt and said, "Next time I see Rick, I'll remember to keep my left up."
Did ya hear that? That was the sound of Republicans cracking because of stress!
Green turned himself in this afternoon at the Hays County Sheriff's office and was charged with assault with bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a maximum punishment of one year in jail and a $4,000 fine, Lt. Leroy Opiela said.
Ahhhh, Republicans just couldn't let this election go by without one more GOP arrest, could they?
