Conservative governing at its finest.

A Tennessee legislator is catching heat for passing a resolution to honor himself.

While Tennessee lawmakers have long been criticized for wasting time and money on frivolous bills, some say this one tops them all.

...

"I think it's important for us as a state to say, 'Hey, great job on creating jobs and moving the ball forward,'" said Lundberg, R-Bristol.

Lundberg's resolution, written by his own staff, honors his public relations firm, The Corporate Image, and says things like "the owners and employees of The Corporate Image are many such noteworthy persons" and "the company has continued to set the standard for the highest quality professional services."

...

Lundberg passed another resolution back in 2009 honoring his daughter for graduating high school. When asked about that resolution Wednesday, Lundberg said he stands by that one, too.

Let's be honest: who wouldn't do this if they had the chance? Tongue

As I recall, one Bacon King was the recipient of a similar resolution in Georgia.

I'd do that, then immediately resign once it was passed.

Bashing moronic (and Republican) state legislators on stuff like this is a good way for us Atlasians to take our minds off of the real news- the never ending tragedy of American politics.
