Tennessee twits

The Tennessee Legislature took a step back from complete stupidity on Monday, when lawmakers rejected a vengeful measure that would have banned a single Associated Press photographer from the Capitol because he photographed the House speaker collapse on the floor from low blood sugar. From knoxnews.com:
The resolution said Schelzig hindered "emergency medical personnel from providing necessary medical care" to Williams.

But video footage from a local television station showed Schelzig was actually behind a glass barrier where reporters are required to work.

Hmm.
