Geller gets flip in last week, disses Storms

During a Senate Democratic Caucus meeting on Monday, not long after Sen. Steve Geller had warned everyone in the room that press was there (implying they should watch what they say), Sen. Geller made a flip comment about Brandon Republican Sen. Ronda Storms.

The issue was child welfare and some sort of Storms' amendment that apparently pitted parental rights against the rights of a guardian ad litem tasked with deciding what's in the best interest of a child.

"She treats children like chattel," Geller said. Then he turned to the Buzz and tried to say that the comment was off the record. Caucus meetings during which legislation is discussed are considered public and often televised, so Buzz did not agree to the off-the-record order.

Sen. Ted Deutch, realizing the faux pas, teased Geller by calling out: "That's two T's in chattel."

Sadly, it is true and she is more interested in sound bites than in sound legislation.

That is typical Geller. He treats children as a tissue mass best excised by a democratic party donor who in another life would want to be a nazi doctor doing medical experiments.

Somebody give that boy a pair of Truck N---z. He needs to grow up.

Was Dockery in attendance? You'd think she'd be the guest of honor.

and why is it an issue?

the twit does treat children like chattel, reflecting her offthewalltheology that some how insists that children BELONG to parents, instead of parents being invested with caring for children in the best possible way, a role tht not ALL PARENTS can fulfill.

probably in her heart, this joke sides with the flds-ers in texas who think it is JEST FINE to shop your 12-YEAR-OLD-DAUGHTER to a 60-year-old man, sos she can pump out 8 or ten kiddies by the age of 20!!

she is a disgrace to humanity and christianity!!

as i sit here, right now, "morning edition" is featuring the joksters in the lege who are all for "academic freedom" in terms of matching SCIENCE with MYTHOLOGY and are intellectually unable to diferentiate between the two.

more repiglican jokesters idiots, and douchebags masquerading as human beings....and doing a poor job of it, too!!!!

thanks RHONDA!! and the morons who vote for you and waste our money on you!!

if i was there i would have spat on her. in fact, every time i see her in a parade i try....

[James T. Anderson]

Storms is an idiot anyway

im gonna start marketing "rhonda storms toilet paper"!

[So there]

She'd kick all yer asses in a fair fight. Whiney democan'ts

10:35 is a great example of Florida's so called progressive community. Wow, so much for tolerance and human rights, spit on someone because you disagree politically? Sad.

Geller always has been a jerk. He owes Senator Storms an apology.

St. Pete Times - will you remove the comment from 6:33? Tying the Jewish Democratic leader to nazi doctors seems to be very religiously offensive which violates your comment policy.

She is an embarasment to Republicans AND to women.

Gee 11:48 when did you decide to be so sensitive to the religious affiliation of elected officials? Why haven't you been calling for such sensitivity be demonstrated on behalf of Catholics or Evangelical Christians when so many offensive comments are pointed in their direction?

How many Floridians do you think actually know that Geller is Jewish? To call for the post to be removed is typical type of behavior that fascist liberals support.

11:48 and 2:23 are exactly why the founders were pretty explicit in keeping religion out of public decisions
