William Lamberth – Memphis Flyer

Memphis on the internet.

Honor?

State House Majority Leader Rep. William Lamberth celebrated the end of this year’s legislative session with the above photo. (Sine die is Latin for, basically, the end of a meeting with no scheduled return date.)

“It has been and continues to be a phenomenal honor to serve you,” he tweeted.

Most of the comments were not kind. “Pig,” wrote one. “You know no honor,” tweeted another. “You served no one but dark money and big business,” another commented.

Culture

“The European mind cannot comprehend how much history and culture is just in Memphis,” tweeted Mr. Sound Dobad.

Never-ending Elvis

This image has been floating around the MEMernet recently. The story is that in 1949 a woman was dropping off film to be developed and had one frame left on her roll. She saw a boy on the sidewalk, asked him to pose with his bike, and took his picture. That boy was … Elvis (mind-blown emoji here).

Leaked Audio: GOP House Members In-Fighting Over Ouster Vote

After last week’s vote by state House Republicans to expel Democrats Justin Pearson, Justin Jones, and Gloria Johnson over their gun-safety demonstration on the House floor, there were recriminations to be had.

In particular, GOP state Rep. Jody Barrett (R-Dickson) had to fend off his Republican colleagues for his ‘no’ vote to expel Gloria Johnson. That vote caused the expel resolution in her case to fail, and for the GOP members to be assailed for racism.

Besides Barrett, the GOP talkers are Jason Zachary, Knoxville, who begins by saying, “The Democrats are not our friends”; Johnny Garrett, Goodlettsville; Majority Leader William Lamberth, Portland; and Scott Cepicky, Culleoka. Cepicky is the one who believes the outcome of things is a threat to the existence of the Republic and who maintains, “You got to be what’s right, even if you think it’s wrong.”
