And now it is time for the Airing of the Grievances by Senator Julie Frye Mueller!

@SoDakCampaigns

Todays legislative session was just like the episode of Seinfeld where they introduced the world to Festivus.  You know, Festivus, where among the many activities is an “Airing of grievances.”

So, just like Seinfeld, with equal sitcom hilarity, at the end of today’s extremely brief and veto-free session, Senator Julie Frye Mueller of the inappropriate breastfeeding and vaccination advice decided today was the day to strike back at Senate Leadership and air her grievances by reciting the Julie Frye-Mueller manifesto!

Even though, no one really cared. You can watch it here:

It starts around 8:40 in the video clip, where you’ll see Frye-Mueller is cut off by leadership, because no one really wants to sit and listen, and they’d rather hear a prayer, and adjourn.  But it doesn’t end there.

Because following sine die, about 11:30 in.. JFM gets up and continues to read her resolution, until Public Television turns off the cameras and goes home.

You never know. She could still be there barking in the wind, and declaring how she was wronged.  First by Senators Schoenbeck & Crabtree (and about everyone else in the Senate) and now by Public Broadcasting.

The lights turn off, and she’s talking to no one. Kind of an unglamorous ending to an unremarkable legislative career.

  1. Festivus For The Rest of Us! Did we miss the Festivus Feats of Strength wrestling match on the senate floor or was it held at a different venue at a bar in downtown Pierre or at the Ramkota?

    1. Have much does JFM win by? 1% or 20%?

      Or does she actually lose?

      She beat Goodwin last time and he served 8 years in the house.

  4. Well now….a novel way to stop a woman from talking. I’m speechless…wish she was too.

  6. Schoenbeck has more patience than I would have in those circumstances.
    I’d be inclined to use a tazer instead of a gavel.

    1. Tinfoil Tom would most likely choose what is not recommended being the anything to do with fire, including the lighting of farts. Schoenbeck would decline.

  8. Why didn’t they just cut her senate mic and end the feed as soon as session was gaveled and done?

  9. Its weird that Pischke didn’t say anything or is waging another lawsuit. So he gets a viable competitor and the loses his ” principle?” Career politician, say what you have to get votes and shut up when the pressure it on. JFM is completely out of line if she wanted to bring a resolution there is a place in regular session where she could have brought a resolution. She wanted to grand stand and make a some kind of point…. Absolute dud and ineffective, unfortunate that D30 does not have any representation due to their our senators actions.

    1. Pischke ducked out of the chambers before this stunt and was sitting in the Senate Private lobby. He wouldn’t even sit by her when she did this.

      1. So he went from being her “rock” and bringing so many good motions to fight everyone on it for her to don’t want to be associated with her so he runs to the lobby. Sounds like he hold his relationships in high regards.

  10. We needed Schoenbeck to say the Kruger line “I find your belief system fascinating!”

  11. Ms. Fry Mueller would have won an arm wrestling contest with any other Senator in the bunch. She’s not wimpy.

  14. I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. Now you’re going to hear about it!

  15. just when the fire had burned down to cinders, she showed up with a can of gasoline.

  16. whether she’s been a successful legislator or not, she’s been a winner of elections at the polls. Don’t know if that says a lot about JFM, or a lot about her district.
