Clearly, lame ducks Troy King and Bob Riley have proven themselves unable to handle the powers of their offices during the last few weeks before they turn their jobs them over to someone new.
The AG is suing BP (handing the lobbyist/lawyer who defeated him in the GOP Primary, Luther Strange, a dangerous choice if he wins in November: continue the suits, or drop them and look like a water boy for BP.
And The Governor is busy filing Executive orders trying to block the lawsuits, saying we should try for an out-of-court settlement first. But 'ya gotta know hatred of Troy King is at least partly a motivating factor. There hasn't been a civil word between these civil servants for years.
I say both of them should stay home and collect their last taxpayer checks without doing anything.
Clean out your offices and let the next Governor and AG handle these issues. It's not like the statute of limitations is going to run out on suing BP.

It is wise for a TV news anchor to tell us his personal views like this? Now everytime I see you on WAKA reporting about Troy King or Bob Riley, I won't be able to help but remember you dislike them both. And that you think Luther Strange's election would be "dangerous."
Alabama's elected executive administration is, in my opinion, THE MOST dysfunctional of any in recent history - defined as within the past 40 years. I and others will be GLAD to see the incompetent, self-aggrandizing ninnies leave.
