It’s funny what happens to some people when you give them power, a title, and some authority. Especially when you call someone a Senator. They start acting like a Senator. Google Roman Senate and read if you don’t quite get the implication of this statement. It’s not exactly a compliment. Apparently, Senators believe they are special and cannot be referred to by their fellow men in derogatory terms, because, well, they are Senators.
For the political correct crowd, it’s easy to argue that Artilles deserved to be canned. It This type of bullying retribution for behavior the left abhors is the exact behavior for which the this short-sighted, PC crowd is known. Tolerance, unless the idea or comments are against us. For Senators, perhaps it’s such hypocrisy is even easier and to do so by hiding behind the “integrity of the institution” argument. Especially since by many accounts, Artilles didn’t truly fit in with the gentile, blue-blood crowd of the elevated chamber. Clearly, enough Senators believe that because there is no bad behavior in the Florida Senate, the institution must protect itself, from the likes of Frank Artilles.
