Quick note about Charles Bishop being raised in the woods....

I found a source, besides the highly reliable friend who sent me the original email about Alabama Senator Charles Bishop being raised in the woods.

This is from an opinion piece that appeared in The Dothan Eagle titled, "The Pugilist":

"Alabama would be better off if [Bishop] simply stayed [in Walker
County] and resigned his senate seat. Bishop explained his action saying
that was how he learned to act as a child 'raised in the woods of
Arkansas.'

'People don’t say that about your mom,' he said.

Bishop has apparently never shed his backwoods Arkansas ruffian nature.
At 69 years old, it’s likely he never will.

Fisticuffs have no place in Alabama’s legislative chambers.

Neither does Charles Bishop, the pugilist."

Further proof that you can take the redneck out of the woods, but you can't take the woods out of the redneck. (And apparently, you can then put the redneck's antics on national TV and make his new home state the laughing stock of the rest of the country.)
