WPWT Timothy Hill Babbles: TN GOPer Legislators Re-Electing House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh Under Direction Of Satan

WPWT 870 AM "Good Morning Tri-Cities" local talk show host Timothy Hill was commenting this morning (Monday, August 7, 2006) about Republican members of the Tennessee House who cross the aisle during the early session leadership meetings for the selection of a new House Speaker --- Timothy Hill blurted out the statement that:

"If you [as an elected Republican member of the Tennessee House] go to Nashville and compromise your [conservative] principles and vote Jimmy Naifeh [as your new House Speaker], you have [demonstrated that] Satan [is] sitting on your shoulder to influence your vote."

Not an exact word-to-word transcription, but the general theme was affirmed by another WPWT 870 AM monitor that I called up to verify the context of Timothy Hill's latest pseudo-religious rant. Hill soon thereafter backpeddled and attempted to soften his comments.

Timothy Hill also happens to be the brother of Tennessee State Representative Matthew Hill(R-H7) and is also actively working on the campaign team to elect Republican candidate Davd Davis for U.S. House Representative for the Tennessee 1st Congressional District.
