Sen. Baker roasts Sen. Atwater for his 50th
Sen. Carey Baker roasted Sen. Jeff Atwater who turned 50 on Tuesday, complete with pictures from his youth.
Sen. Baker called Sen. Atwater a "wild man" and the “coolest dad in town." "We just don’t see that other side of you enough," Sen. Baker said.
During a picture of a teenage Atwater playing tennis, Sen. Baker said: "You weren't the football captain or basketball captain, but tennis is sort of cool."
After it was all over Senate President Ken Pruitt said to Sen. Baker: "I don't know what chairmanship you had in mind next year, but you can kiss it goodbye."

Senator Atwater is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met, who was involved in politics. He is down to earth and I am glad he is representing us in Tallahassee....THE PEOPLE can rest assured Senator Atwater is doing the best he can with property insurance and is not a liar.

9:32-
you are making a pretty compelling case for being the most pathetic person in history. Give it a rest, we get it, you have nothing else to do. Maybe if you did a little work instead of blogging every five seconds you could afford to pay the taxes.

An Ambler fiddles while the State of Florida burns.
The Republican Party - turning the "middle class" into the "working poor" while they play around during session.

Does anyone know what Atwater actually stands for??? The only thing he does is high-tail it and run when controversy comes his way. Could you show us just a tad bit of back bone?

"Does anyone know what Atwater actually stands for???"
Yeah, it's what a hairlip tells you when you come up to him at the beach and ask where his parents are!

Poltics is show business for ugly people? How about student council for grown ups.
