Well, It's Official. The State GOP Chairmanship Is The Place For Losers To Remake Themselves...First, Chuck. Then, ralph...Now, It's Bob.

Rumors have it that current Georgia Republican Chairman ralph reed is urging ex-Congressman Bob Barr to run for the chairmanship of the state party. Barr is apparently still ticked-off at losing the primary to John Linder for the 7th District and ralph is reportedly lobbying Barr to step into his slot to prove that Bob is still the better man when compared to John Linder.

PV Groans: Oh, Brother! Just what we need. Another "Chuck Clay" who didn't get anywhere in a primary and needs to remake his image as an in-tune politico. And, wouldn't it be just like reed to still be working on ways to beat Linder, a man whom he thinks is a political lightweight?

PV Passes On A Juicy Tidbit: Hey, by the way, do y'all want to know what really happened with Barr's gun mishap? The factual story now dribbling out of the mouths of truth-tellers from the event clears-up a lot of holes in the original fabrication.

Bruce Widener, you might remember, owned the home where the fundraising event was going on that had Bob Barr as the guest. Widener had a collection of guns in his basement locked-up in a display case, and Barr was interested in seeing the collection.

The original story was that Widener removed the magazine from the pistol and handed Barr the gun without checking to make sure there was no round in the chamber, and Barr "inadvertently" squeezed the trigger with a round in the chamber and a bullet exited the barrel and demolished a double-paned French door.

The facts appear to be more believable. The facts are that Widener, acting like the responsible gun owner he is, was taking guns one-by-one from his display case, removing the magazines and pulling back the slide to check to see if the chambers were empty, and then passing the gun to whomever wished to examine it.

When it came to this one particular gun (some antique war pistol), Widener removed the magazine and was just about to pull the slide back to check to see if the chamber was empty when excitable Bob grabbed the gun out of his hand. Barr was so anxious to feel the grip that he just yanked it out of Widener's hand and began stroking it and doing whatever gun lovers do to guns they get excited about.

Widener had turned back to the display case when...BOOM! He felt the wind of the bullet as it flew past him on it's way out of the house. The first words out of Bob Barr's mouth were reportedly "Oh, my!"

The cover-up and self-blame by Widener of this incident was due to the fact that Widener was desiring to be a lobbyist for the NRA, and if Bob had won, Widener would've been a good shoe-in for the contract.

As it is, he and Bob Barr sullied the image of responsible gun owners across America by not allowing Barr to own-up to his own stupid carelessness. Thanks, guys!

PV Is Puzzled: Now, you know, when ralph reed backs someone, there's almost always an angle for him in the deal. He rarely, if ever, does anything for altruistic reasons.

See, with Barr at the helm of the State GOP, reed can get all the party business directed towards him and not have to worry about breaking any more promises about not getting party business. Plus, while Sonny and ralph don't get along very well, Sonny and Bob have no ill will towards each other. And, Barr can raise money. And, he's sure to hire someone like Linda Hamrick or Sunny Warren as E.D.

And, yes, in-between doing work for the ACU (American Conservative Union), the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), the Freedom Alliance, and whatever other organization Bob gets in with, he will be able to find time to do state chairman's work. After all, he's "Bunny Bob!"

Yes, Sports Fans, we just might have to endure another two years of Hell in this state's Republican Party whilst another political has-been remakes his image and is "Born Again"...
