Parker Unplugged

The video of today’s Finance Committee meeting at which Sen. Kevin Parker lost it is now up on the Senate Website.

The questioning by Sen. John DeFrancisco of Power Authority nominee Mark O’Luck starts at about the 20-minute mark. Parker, who is speaking off camera, starts yelling at DeFrancisco roughly one minute later, saying: “You are totally out of order! You are out of order!…How dare you!”

Sen. Carl Kruger, the committee chairman, tries in vain to get Parker to calm down and then shouts: “You’re out of order…Why don’t you step outside?”

Parker retorts: “Why doesn’t everybody step outside?..You’re allowing somebody to treat an appointee of the governor in a very disrespectful way.”

Kruger shoots back: “You’re disrespecting me as the chairman. I ruled you out of order. One more outburst like that, and I’ll ask you to be removed.”

Parker: “OK, then get somebody to remove me. Bring people though.

Kruger: “And I’ll ignore that remark.”

Parker (leaving): “Good.”

I haven’t yet managed to get in touch with Parker, but he described this incident to DP’s Celeste Katz as a “heated exchange,” adding: “We’re all prone to hyperbole.”

I went to the 20 minute mark here, and listened to Parker’s titrade.
Sen. Kruger seemed to be sitting there, a little man, with a gavel he doesn’t know how to use.
And Kruger is the leader we’re looking for to pass a budget?
Parker is a schoolyard bully, using street terror tactics.
Where was the Capitol security to pick Parker up, and throw him out of the hearing?
Parker allegedly was wearing a red tie, and matching hankerchief.
I posted on that earlier.
Actually, Parker apparently was weaned on the worse hip hop music…the genre that has promoted violence and degradation of women.
I may be 150 yrs,but if I was at the hearing, I would have gone to Parker, grapped him by his red tie, stuffed his red hankie into his mouth, and physically kicked him out of the room.
As I quoted Dr. Taylor Harmon earlier, the color we like determines our personality type.
In his book, The Color Code, Harmon describes the Reds’ obession with power:
“Reds want their own way. .when they have gotten their way for too long, Reds find it almost impossible to relinquish their power and freedom when they meet authorities in society who refuse to grant them the total control they demand..” p.45.

Dr. Cannon, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you’re pretty ditzy.

My favorite color is Black. Knock yourself out.

Hey, IM, the color code may be psychobabble.
Johnny Cash liked black, and so did, sometimes,Roy Orbinson.
Both were super talented.

Wait, are you saying that the red means he’s a communist or a blood gang member?

No — they’re spammers. If you click on their link they lead to different no wheres…. I mentioned it to Liz.

Or maybe they’re being tweeted. One time it was a legitimate (not ping… forgot the term).

Who knows — it’s obnoxious but may be part of the system — getting what’s said out there. Who knows… not me at the moment.

Hey Liz,
My comment was real. The spammer copied, pasted and submitted. You posted. You should have deleted the spammers, but left mine up.
