The Republican election commission chair for Davidson County, Tennessee resigned from his position after cursing at a reporter on camera as she pressed him to explain exorbitant expenditures, the Tennessean reported.

Ron Buchanan quit on Monday, before WSMV-TV showed footage of his combative interview with reporter Alanna Autler last Friday.

(...)

Autler then follows up, asking, “Can you explain the picture frame that was $614?” referring to a large frame election administrator Kent Wall bought for the commission’s office using a county-issued credit card.

“That’s it,” he repeats, adding, “That’s exactly the b*tch I thought you would be.”

Autler used to work here in WV on WOWK. She's an awesome reporter and a a really sweet person.
Glad to see she's still doing great work.

2. It's good that he did resign.

He should have if he was GOP or Dem.

Getting that snippy with a reporter over a legitimate question is simply wrong.

3. What part of "no comment at this time" failed to get through his idiot GOP mind?

Wait, don't say anything. I answered my own question.

6. I've been noticing that too. What's up with that?

I'd never heard of that site until I found this place. I've often seen links to it, but it appears that most of the stories aren't their own and are word for word cut-and-paste of someone else's work.
