Inside Tennessee

I will be on WBIRs "Inside Tennessee" Sunday morning at 9:30 on channel 10 in Knoxville. We pre recorded it on Thursday Night.

TN GOP chair Robin Smith and I met at the blogger meet up at Harbies (They make an awesome veggie supreme pizza if you are ever in the Broadway area of Knoxville) before the show. Dave Oatney and his wife showed up as did Rob Huddleston. Fabian Story ended up having to miss the meet up but it was fun all the same for such a short notice meeting.


I knew walking in to WBIR that Robin and I were going to be the red meat for the attempted lefty comeback after last weeks beat down. I was up first with my fellow legislators Rep. Harry Brooks, Sen. Tim Burchett. Robin Smith was left all alone untill the second half of the show. In the first half we hit on a wide range of topics (as well as one well known one) and did a fun Yes/No section where we talked about what we thought about different pieces of legislation. I wish we could see more of this type of questioning on some topics. Many times political people will filibuster on TV/radio or will talk around an issue without actually answering the question. Admitted, some questions require detailed responses but a good, well worded Yes/no, pass/fail, for or against type question can cut through a lot of the bull.

Robin Smith did the second half of the show. Robin came out swinging on the Hussain issue and took some good shots at Tuke and Obama. That was some fun TV time.

It was odd at the show how much blogs were talked about on and off the air. A few well known ones were mentioned. Tune in to find out who got air time. At one point, off the air, Don Bosh made a comment along the lines of.

"What is wrong with frapachino?"

Making reference to my blog post I did last week after Terry Frank gave the Harry Potter wannabe (Gray Sasser) the beating of his life.

Nothing Don, Just a shout to all the other the coffee house posers you see at most of the lefty rallies and protests. Although Don is wrong on most issues (I am sure there is one issue out there somewhere that we agree on, I just haven't found it yet) he is still not a bad guy in person.
